Book Description:
After a near-fatal head injury, navy SEAL lieutenant Tom Paoletti catches a terrifying glimpse of an international terrorist in his New England hometown. When he calls for help, the navy dismisses the danger as injury-induced imaginings. In a desperate, last-ditch effort to prevent disaster, Tom creates his own makeshift counterterrorist team, assembling his most loyal officers, two elderly war veterans, a couple of misfit teenagers, and Dr. Kelly Ashton-the sweet "girl next door" who has grown into a remarkable woman. The town's infamous bad boy, Tom has always longed for Kelly. Now he has one final chance for happiness, one last chance to win her heart, and one desperate chance to save the day...

Brockmann's Tall, Dark, and Dangerous books were great within the constraints of series romance. But The Unsung Hero is a full-length novel which develops the Navy Seal Team concept much further. Successfully interweaves storylines from present-day and World War II. Highly romantic while full of action. First in the series.

Good characterizations, a well developed story line, but a very intense read. Too much tragedy for my taste.

I like this author. The story is centered around a Navy Seal home to recover from an injury, the girl next door, terrorists and flashbacks to WWII. I enjoyed the love stories and the military action. A very good read.

Tom Paoletti is a Navy SEAL who's been injured and goes to his hometown to rest and recuperate. Dr. Kelly Ashton is his childhood friend who happens to live next door. What happens when Tom spies a thought-dead terrorist in the airport and then in his hometown? That's one of the plots of this novel. There is also a great story involving Kelly's dad and Tom's uncle set during WWII. This book (written pre 9/11) can be a tough read at times because now terrorism has hit home. But still--it had me riveted throughout and when I got to the last part I couldn't put it down. The WWII story is also a great sub-plot about what it means to be a hero and sacrifice. The conclusion of this novel is one that made me think hard about some truths--something that is pretty impressive for a romance novel.

Excellent action story with three romance plot lines. Tom the Navy SEAL and Kelly the pediatrician reconnect years later after one high school kiss. We learn about WWII through a love triangle with Tom's uncle and Kelly's dad. I also really enjoyed the teen romance between Tom's niece and her "nerd." I appreciate how you get to see the same characters throughout this series.

I enjoyed this book even though I'm not a fan of reading long series. It made me want to read others and I did read the most recent in the series.

Tom, what a hunk! Even losing the hair is no big deal. I love Suzanne Brockmann and I love her books. She is a wonder at creating suspense while making the romance come alive.
