Gone Too Far

The Troubleshooters, Book 6

By: Suzanne Brockmann

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank

In her sizzling, award-winning novels of suspense, best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann delves into the adrenaline-rushed world of counterterrorism - and taps into the real passions of its brave men and women. In Gone Too Far she spins a story of action, intrigue, and romance as a US Navy SEAL and an FBI agent race to unravel a mystery while confronting their unresolved feelings for each other.

In his career as one of America's elite warriors, Lieutenant Sam Starrett can do no wrong. In his private life, Sam - the king of one-night stands - has done little right. Now, he's waiting for a divorce and determined to stay active in his young daughter's life. But when Sam shows up at the door of his ex-wife's home in Sarasota, Florida, he makes a grisly discovery. His daughter is gone, and a woman lies brutally murdered on the floor.

FBI agent Alyssa Locke's relationship with Sam has been overwhelmingly intense and nearly catastrophic, yet it refuses to end. The last time she saw Sam was six months earlier, when they worked together to stop terrorists from assassinating the president. Much to her dismay, Alyssa is assigned to lead the murder investigation, and once again the two are face-to-face. When explosive information surfaces linking Sam to the still-unsolved assassination plot, the stakes are raised. With her reputation on the line and her loyalties in question, Alyssa is faced with an impossible dilemma: arrest a man she believes to be innocent or risk her career.

While Alyssa tries to fight their intense attraction, Sam is determined to heat things up once again. And the complex case pushes them both to the wrong side of the law - and on the run to discover the truth. As more agents step into the chase, and with Sam's daughter still unaccounted for, neither Alyssa nor Sam can predict just how deadly hot this situation is about to become.

An all time favorite

For those who are fans of the series, I think this may be the best of the bunch 😁

Worth the wait

I've been looking forward to Sam and Alyssa's story for ages. Brockmann did not disappoint. It had everything I love about Sam and Alyssa, a continuation of Max and Gina, some Tom and Kelly and tons of excitement. If I had to have one complaint though it would be that at times there was too much going on in the story, too many POVs. Usually the side WWII story adds to the plot but not so much this time. I found myself getting annoyed when the main story, which was pretty exciting, would get interrupted to go back in time. I think it would have been better to leave it out this time. Anyway, I still loved the story and would recommend it to any Brockmann fan and especially to a Troubleshooters series fan. It's a must read for the series.

Needs More than Five Stars

Where does Gone Too Far rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Way up near the top. In the Troubleshooters Series alone, this is in the top 3 easily, and the Troubleshooters Series is miles above nearly every other romantic and/or romantic suspense book I've read.

What did you like best about this story?

Um, Everything. Sam and Alyssa, Max and Gina, Walt and Dot, Tom and Kelly (omg the wedding), Sam's 'adoptive' family and the dichotomy between a very country/southern boy being raised by a black family, Ibrahim coming for Mary Lou, Sam's screaming out the helicopter at Max talking to Alyssa, the teenage sniper-in-training... It's all just so good.

Which scene was your favorite?

There's no way I could pick one, or even three.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Sam and Alyssa's confrontation in the back of the walmart. Holy geezus. Also, the explosion that injures Kelly, Tom's reaction(s), Izzy... Ouch my heart.

Love.

Yep. Yep. Yep. Awesome as always! I really love this series! Bring on the next!
