Publisher's summary

It's Christmastime in Boston, and this year the silver bells will be wedding bells as FBI agent Jules Cassidy ties the knot with the man of his dreams, Hollywood heartthrob Robin Chadwick.

The pair plan a quiet, intimate ceremony, to be witnessed by family and close friends from the FBI, SEAL Team 16, and Troubleshooters, Incorporated, including Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke. But the holiday season brings more to the happy couple than they expect.

A waterfall coming through their kitchen ceiling, a bat colony in the attic, old family tensions...even an international incident can't dampen their spirits. But add to that a parade of unexpected guests, including a reporter looking for a scoop, an ex-lover hell-bent on causing trouble, and a dangerous stalker, and suddenly the wedding is poised to unravel in chaos.

But nothing will stop Jules and Robin from getting their happy ending, because along with a guest list featuring the most elite counterterrorism force in the world, they have their own secret weapon - true love.

One of the Best!!

I loved this book! The relationship between Jules and Robin is great! We should all be so lucky. If you like any of these books in this series, you will certainly love this one!

Review

Great! Enjoyed this book very much. Looking forward to the next book. Thank you Suzanne!

Narrator was boring..

The narrator was horrible.... I almost wanted to stop listening to it... It was very hard to get through it. Tried so hard to picture Patrick Lawlor reading this for me to get through it..

Really Great Book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, the story, plot and narration are very good. Susan did an amazing job at writing a Christmas story centered around two gay characters. I would rank her right up there with Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux.

What other book might you compare All Through the Night to and why?

The FBI series by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux.

Which scene was your favorite?

The whole book was my favorite

Great Book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Rarely do you find a book written about a gay couple that is open and honest. This book was tastfully written with no biase either way. While I don't have any gay friends I did enjoy this chapter in the story of Jewels and Robin.

What was one of the most memorable moments of All Through the Night?

Robin getting locked in the bathroom on his wedding day.

What does Michael Holland bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Expression, Michael adds life to the characters.

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

When Jewels realizes that Robin loves him just as much as he loves Robin.

Any additional comments?

This is a very up beat and interesting story, not too long and never boring.

Love wins

I love this book. I have to admit Michael Holland is not my favorite narrator he doesn't take away from the story line.

Take it in context

I won't recommend this as a stand alone audiobook/novel, but as part of the series, this was a great chapter.

-Robin was too effiminate in the reading. Really, he's an action hero! Come on! His character was written a little effete, but this was taken too far in the reading.
-The relationship felt a little labored sometime, over written with dialog. No one, even the superGayMan, talks like this.
-The straight love story was dull and silly and didn't add to the story line in any way. It detracted, partly because there was no substance, but also because I won't be able to see a really developed story about Dolphina in the future. Bleh, opportunity missed.

BUT...I still was strangely compelled to enjoy this novel.
-I love Jules & Robin's story, and I needed this to make me feel more complete. I wanted to hear about success, fighting through alcoholism and coming out. This was a denumant to the last novel in which their love was a feature.
-I love that a gay couple gets to be the central story line. I support, in a general way that has involved little more than fundraisers and signing of all relevant petitions, the civil rights of gay couples. This story helped me continue to embrace the diversity and yet the homogeneity of love. People love other people, not gender-specific-noun love opposing-gender-specific-noun. This also made me cry at then end, although Prop 8 may have been why I felt so sad when I heard the author's note at the end. This book made me want to do more....
-I was happy to hear the Joneses are doing well. :) I know, small thing, but I'm happy. I always fall at least a little (ok, mostly a lot) in love with Brockmann's characters and the fact that they are not always wrapped neatly up between the covers of one story helps me keep them alive in my mind.

Overall, I recommend to current fans, but this is NOT a representative book. Go read Hot Target, then Breaking Point, THEN All Through the Night.

Great Story, Too much Gay

As always, Brockmann's Troubleshooter's story holds your interest. The love story between Robin and Jules is very sweet but too gay for my hetero-romance reading tastes. The book is an O.K. addition to the overall 15 book series but not my preferred romance type of book. I love my gay friends but do not care to read about their love life. You be the judge.

All Through The Night

The narration was excellent. Different accents for different characters bringing them bouncing to life. A fun story that I have read several times.

Half biased, half not.

I have listened to all the books. It was really hard for me to get over the fact that the narrator changed. Although, Mr. Holland has a peaceful voice, I just wasn't used to it.

For the books itself, I love the book. The characters are so true to themselves (to fully appreciate, you have to listen to all the other books.) The book was well written & I hope delicate enough to help prejudices end.

It's a love story of not just romance but, friendship and solidarity.

I love how the books proceedings go fully to MassLove.
