Search - Breaking Point (Troubleshooters, Bk 9)

Let me start by saying I've really enjoyed the other books in this series, but this one was pretty bad! Where do I start? With the fact that Gina is a very immature 22 year old chasing 40-something Max? That instead of the probably intended sexy romantic devotion she comes across as scary nympho stalker chick? That she actually gets in confrontations with Max's nursing staff, when she has no apparent education or experience of her own?

The beginning of the book takes place while Max is in rehab for injuries. He repeatedly asks Gina to leave, but Stalker Gina is sure he reallyreally loves her. That he's reallyreally just protecting her. After he asks her to go, she strips, hops into his bed and they have sex, while he tries repeatedly to tell her to leave. If you reversed the roles, say a young woman in rehab asking her male friend to leave, and he did this - he'd be up on rape charges. Stalker Gina never quite gets that she's always initiating, that Max has actually proposed to another woman, that he doesn't want a relationship with her and has told her this. Nope Stalker Gina knows that Max is her guy. Whether he wants to be or not.

I don't know whether Brockman intended to write Gina as the mentally and emotionally unbalanced stalker that she is in the early part of the book, but seriously - didn't anyone edit this? I just didn't see them as a viable couple for anything other than sexual attraction.

A very good conclusion to the Max & Gina story. The book contains lots of action, romance and good endings. I really enjoyed the story, and Suzanne Brockmann is a very good writer.

This is the 9th book in the Troubleshooters series. This is the conclusion of the Max & Gina story that started in book 3 "Over The Edge". This book also has what seems to be the conclusion of the Molly Anderson & Dave Jones (AKA-Grady Morant) story which started in book 4 "Out Of Control". There are no members of Troubleshooters Inc. or SEAL Team 16 present like previous books. FBI Agent Jules Cassidy is along for the ride and brings his wit & cheeky attitude to keep everyone going.

I’d been looking forward to Max and Gina’s story for a really long time and while I enjoyed the book for same reasons I enjoy most of Brockmann’s books, I didn’t love how this reunion played out. I’m posting spoilers so I won’t go into a lot of detail. Suffice it to say, Max and Gina’s attitudes, reactions and reactions to each other were mostly annoying to me. They’ve been in love with each for YEARS and this is the their reaction to each other after not seeing or speaking to each other in over a year?

Phenomenal book! Suzanne Brockman's Troubleshooters series will NOT disappoint!

I have read them all. A great series.
