I could not have been more pleased to read this latest Suzanne Brockmann novel. As always, her writing is the kind that makes romantic suspense readers' hearts take an emotional roller coaster ride that always ends well. Her historical references and backstories in her Troubleshooters series are so well woven into the story along with danger, heroism in just about every non-bad guy character, and every kind of love imaginable whether friends and comrades, parent and child, or soulmates. I truly cannot say enough good things about Brockmann's writing and this particular story of Peter and Shayla, their children, the Navy SEAL community and the historical backstory of the Japanese internment camps was just the novel I was longing for from this author. Cheers to another great Troubleshooter novel, Ms. Brockmann! Now, on to the next in the series...please (begs this eager reader!)

Brilliant. Best Yet! Wonderful. Awesome. Love the Characters. Love the story. Love. Love. Love.

Some Kind of Hero did something that we haven't really seen since the first few books and that was talking about WWII. This one didn't have the flash backs. I think that was the only thing missing. I enjoy the bits of history that Suzanne Brockmann puts into her books. With things going on in the world today, it is nice to have the history of the interment camps. US citizens being lock-up just because of their nationality. We hope history won't repeat itself, but when things like this are not taught in our history books, it's hard not to. But that was just a tiny portion of the book. VERY tiny. I kind of wished their had been more.

I love that the female character was a romance writer. That was so awesome. I love that both characters had older kids. And, as always, I love how the team comes together as a family to help.

I would totally recommend this book!

Finally, a new Troubleshooter book! This is one of my favorite series so I had high expectations for Some Kind of Hero. I was not disappointed. Suzanne Brockmann brings it every time. From start to finish you are immersed in a world that draws you in and keeps you hooked.

Peter, Shayla, Maddie and Dingo were such diverse and well developed characters. They are definitely great new additions to the TS world. I must say that I loved old favorites Lindsay and Izzy among others make an appearance in the story.

If you haven't read the other books in this series you should. The Seal Team 16/Troubleshooter/Reluctant Hero series is addicting.

Just WOW !! First I'm really enjoying the way Izzy is maturing and is happy and settled with Eden. I really enjoyed Shayla's inner voice Harry . In typical Brockman fashion I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. Full of twists and turns , laugh out loud moments and heart warming and heart breaking all rolled into one of the best reads ever . Suzanne Brockman at her finest .

Nice that they both have kids.

Haha, she has a gay man in her head?

Talking to yourself is weird, but scolding a man who didn't say anything is worse.

So was her ex abusive? Or her father? She seems distrustful of men.

This Dingo person just let Maddie be kidnapped?

Sounds like Lisa was a crap mom who should have had CPS on her tail.

Ugh secret baby books can be annoying.

I'd like to see that earthquake helmet.

Oh, I so love this love story. Why did Lisa leave him?

I always know the actors, even if I can't remember the name of the movie.

She has interesting conversations with her kids.

Dude, you are full of yourself!

Wow, I'm learning a lot of things about the Navy here. This is great.

Mrs. S. is one cool lady. Sounds like she's at her wits' end with Fiona's family.

William Shatner didn't do that. Patrick Stewart did.

"...so no room for him on any boat commanded by Nazis". Is it wrong that that made me laugh?

Hans, Hans, Hans.

Whoa! Go, Hiroko! Sneaky.

Gosh, I learned about the internment camps, of course. But this is so sad.

Haha, that manager will think twice before making comments like that again.

Well, that escalated quickly.

When does she have access to men's balls in such a way as to kick them?

Suck it up, SEAL.

Well, mother-on-son abuse is a thing, too.

Romeo and Juliet were not stupid.

She's a good mom.

Who pretends they have an accent?

Okay, he was a pussy. Who lets a woman treat him like that? He was sleeping on Lisa's floor, unless she was having sex with someone else?

Frankie has a future career as an investigator.

I have everyone of Suzanne's books. She never disappoints her readers. She always pulls her readers into the story. This book was no different.
