Search - The Defiant Hero (Troubleshooters, Bk 2)

I just enjoy Suzie's style and some of the action is on the accurate side, my husband was in special forces so I have an in house critic.

Good book. Second in the Troubleshooter series.

Terrifc Book, just started reading this author, going to read everything she's done.

I really liked this book! I couln't put it down, now this is the first book that I read that had 3 other sub stories going along with the main story, but I have to admit, I am really looking forward to reading Locke and Sam's story! they really spiced up the book!

2nd in a marvelous series. Main story follows Navy SEAL John Nilsson's attempts to help Meg Moore in multiple hostage situations. Romantic, sexy, fast-paced, and affecting. Also, sub-plots set in World War II and the beginning of the Sam Starrett-Alyssa Locke romance (yum).

Another great Brockman book; ties in with other books by her!

Takes awhile to get into this book, but it's worth it.

Excellent!

Great series love them all

I love Suzanne Brockmann and the heroes she writes about. Very timely and very romantic.

Great addition to her Troubleshooters Series - book 2.

The second in the SEAL Team Sixteen series, "The Defiant Hero," manages to capture and maintain tension and action-packed suspense with each turn of the page. The characters literally jump from the page to capture your attention.

Widow Meg Moore is forced by terrorists to kidnap a foreign national in exchange for her daughter and grandmother, who they are holding captive. Knowing that it is a hopeless situation, Meg tells the hostage negotiators that the only negotiator she will even consider talking to is John Nilsson, a Navy SEAL that she met while on a foreign assignment. John has carried a torch for Meg for many years, but has not acted on his feelings since she was married at the time.

No one is more surprised than John when he is called to negotiate. The Meg he remembers would never do anything so suicidal. A linguistics expert, the two manage to communicate via a language no one else recognizes, and she reveals the fate of her family. When all is not what it appears, and Meg spirits away her prey to barter for her family, John is quickly on her tail, trying to win her trust and help her out of the mess.

"The Defiant Hero" also marks the consummation of the love-hate relationship between SEAL Lt. Sam Starrett and FBI Agent Alyssa Locke, which plays out over the next several installments in the series. This relationship is so complex, it is no wonder that it plays out over several books.

Meg Moore works as a translator in a European embassy, so she knows that the United States refuses to negotiate with terrorists. But her daughter and grandmother have been kidnapped by a lethal group called the Extremists. Meg will do anything to meet their unspeakable demands; anything—even kill—to save her child. When Navy SEAL Lieutenant, junior grade, John Nilsson is summoned to Washington, D.C., by the FBI to help negotiate a hostage situation, the last person he expects to see holding a foreign ambassador at gunpoint is Meg. He hasn’t seen her in years, but he’s never forgotten how it feels to hold her in his arms. John could lose his career if he helps her escape. She will lose her life if he doesn’t…

Those same words will spell out a death sentence for her daughter and grandmother who have been kidnapped by a lethal group called the Extremists. Meg will do anything to meet their unspeakable demands; anything - even kill - to save her child.
