Book Reviews of The Unsung Hero (Troubleshooters, Bk 1)

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.

GREAT! 1st in her Troubleshooters Series about Navy SEALS on SEAL Team 16.

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.

Good book. First of the Troubleshooter series.

I read this one twice! Great read.

"Her rare gift for blending intensse adventure with sensuous romance has captivated readers, who especially relish her vivid portrayals of the dashing men of the U.S. Navy SEALS. Now...has created her most unforgettable book yet--a poignant story of a love that will reveal hidden truths and bring two solitary people together, against all odds."

very good

the first book in teh team 16 series

Loved this book!

Four plot lines are expertly interwoven to create a love story-cum-thriller in the latest work by veteran romance author Brockmann (Bodyguard), winner of two Romantic Times Career Achievement Awards and a two-time RITA finalist. Navy SEAL Lt. Tom Paoletti, on medical leave after a near-fatal head injury, returns to his New England hometown and is drawn into an unresolved relationship with the girl he left behind. Kelly Ashton, now a pediatrician, is caring for her dying father when Tom returns to disrupt--and enrich--her life. Then Tom glimpses a terrorist he once pursued who's supposed to be dead, but his antagonistic superiors attribute the unlikely sighting to his head injury. Brockmann keeps the tension high, while also revealing the heartbreaking wartime secret shared by Kelly's father and Tom's beloved uncle. Another subplot involving Tom's niece also plays nicely into the dramatic finale as Tom and a makeshift team must take on terrorist bombers unaided. With its shift in focus from romance to the action subplot, this novel would make a terrific movie.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW

I love the Navy seal series. This is about Tom Paoletti foiling a terrorist plot in his hometown. Very plausible especially when you realize it was written before 9/11.

A great book, a wonderful hero who is not the typical tall, dark and handsome type.

Read EVERY Brockman and then have to pass them around before posting!

I love all of her books, especially this series.

Typical Brockmann. If you like her, you'll like this. I think this book is pretty much the first in the series.

Part of the Tall, Dark and Dangerous series. Great hero! Outstanding read and great story.

i loved this book. it kept you going and you didn't want to stop reading it. getting ready to look for book two..

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.

A taste of adventure, suspense & throw in some romance. Great book.

After a near-fatal head injury, Navy SEAL lieutenant Tom Paoletti catches a terrifying glimpse of a international terrorist in his New England hometown.

Continuing the series of the Seals Team headed by the hero of this book, Tom Psoletti. It tells the story of international intrigue and the how and why, Tom leaves the Seals to set up his own private firm with his bride, Kelly.

I love Suzanne Brockmann. I have listed three of her good books.
