Some Kind of Hero but Suzanne Brockmann

A fast paced contemporary suspense novel. A Navy SEAL instructor deals with a runaway teenage daughter that is being chased by a local drug lord with the support of his beautiful romance writer neighbor.
The seventeenth book in the Troubleshooter series. It can be read as a standalone.

This hero, Peter, is extremely articulate and an excellent communicator as pointed out several times by the heroine, Shalya. The two instantly click. Wounded hearts mend along their path of romance. As a SEAL and soldier, he tries to be very protective of Shalya and while she appreciates the gesture, she has her own ideas and very often saves the day on her own.

The heroine is often funny. Or maybe quirky is better. One of her book characters often talks in her head which leads to some amusing moments. Surprisingly this is never discussed between Peter and Shalya but I would have loved to have read that conversation. Maybe a bit too light for this quasi military like drama.
Shalya is very intelligent and shows it throughout the book by coming up with answers and scenarios that Peter doesn't consider.

I really liked the secondary relationship of Dingo and Maddie. While she was a bit immature, she is only 15. Dingo however, showed true strength of character by not crossing that underage line while protecting Maddie as they ran from overwhelming threats. I predicted his "fate" from his actions and look forward to eventually reading his back story and future.

A few character from prior books made appearances including the irrepressible Izzy. Fun.
You can never go wrong with a Brockmann book.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley.

I have loved every one of Suzanne Brockmann's books so far and this one did not disappoint! She mixes the perfect amount of romance and adventure in her stories to make them a fast, page turning read! Enjoy!!

Suzanne Brockmann should give a master class in crafting a memorable series.

have to say it was an unexpected, excellent read that I would be reading again because the dialogue was just. THAT. GOOD.

I'm a huge Suzanne Brockmann fan and love her Troubleshooters series. I enjoyed revisiting some of the characters from her previous novels in this newest book, though it felt like they didn't have much to do. The writing felt rusty and the heroine came off as very Mary Sue-ish at times. I also had a hard time believing an author would know more about finding a missing person than a group of Navy SEALs. But it was still an enjoyable read and a fun visit with familiar characters.

I've always enjoyed Ms. Brockmann's storytelling style and it was great to read a new book in the Troubleshooter's series. I hope we see more from her in the future.

I really liked this book!!! The story line was fast paced and interesting. I didn't realize it was part of a series when I chose the book, but I don't think I missed much of the back story, as some of the history between the characters was revealed in this book. I also enjoyed the book within the book by having Peter tell the story of his life with his daughters mother, Lisa, and why he hadn't been a part of her life for so long.
Navy SEAL Lt Peter Greene is trying to get someone to give him a ride because he thinks he saw his runaway 15 year old daughter getting into a car and taking off. Neighbor and romance author Shayla Whitman happens to be the first person to stop and help Peter and together they follow a car through busy streets and search for Maddie. Realizing they've been neighbors for months but never talked, they start to get to know each other. The next several days are spent searching for Maddie, Shayla encourages Peter explain his side of why things didn't work with Lisa and Maddie, which Shayla types up and emails to Maddie. During this experience, Peter and Shayla find themselves falling for each other and having a relationship. Mean while, Maddie is on the run with her older "boyfriend" (who didn't realize she was underage) as drug dealers are after her, thanks to her new friend at school for setting her up. Peter, Shayla and his SEAL team friends try to locate Maddie and figure out why she's running. At the same time, Maddie and her "boyfriend" are trying to stay hidden and as far away from the drug dealers, while trying to locate her friend and the missing money.

This book has adventure, suspense and romance all mixed together. Overall a great read!

I am so glad to have Seal Team Sixteen back together again! Pete and Shayla are a fantastic couple. I love her wit. I look forward to more from the John Squad.

It has been a long wait for a new Troubleshooters novel, but Suzanne Brockmann delivers with this new entry! Peter and Shayla are a more mature hero and heroine and their story revolves around Peter's missing teenage daughter. There is plenty of suspense throughout and watching the Navy SEAL Lieutenant and the romantic suspense novelist get to know each other is pure pleasure. The return of previous SEAL team members and their spouses to lend a hand (especially Izzy Zanella) provide the novel with continuity and familiar faces. The characterization as always is superb and there is even a slight subplot concerning Manzanar, the World War II Japanese American internment camp. Well done, Ms. Brockmann!

I love Suzanne Brockmann's books. The characters are always engaging, there's lots of action, the storyline always flows smoothly, and this book was no exception.

Suzanne Brockman does not disappoint. Her books are filled with romance, humor and action. Even though some of the things that happen in the book are pretty far fetched the writing is superb and keeps you engaged in the story, excited to turn the next page.

One of the things I do not like in romances is when the characters fall in love within hours of meeting each other. In this book, even though that happens, the characters themselves comment on what a cliché it is. What a great way to handle the situation.

With some authors, after writing so many books in the same series, the books get predictable and I get bored. I was almost reluctant to request an ARC of this book because of this but I'm glad I requested it! Keep them coming Suzanne!

I am sad I can give this only 5 stars. It has everything I love. Romance, suspense and humor wrapped up in one package!

Totally recommend this book. ☆☆☆☆☆ rating. Looking forward, to continue to enjoy more great books from Mrs Brockmann .

Brockmann has created a complicated storyline that blends several aspects together seamlessly. Several relationships are featured, and the mystery and adventure keep you on your toes. Of course, there's a healthy amount of sex, too. A great read.

I ama longtime fan of Ms Brockman back from the days of "Prince Joe" but recently have found her books to be a little lacking. When I read the plot summary I was really excited but found the book hard to finish. I found the lead female'shead conversations annoying and their relationship seemed totally unrealistic. I wish I could have given a better review

I've never read this authors books before but will be giving her another go after this book. Felt I had missed out on a lot of the background on this series with it being so so far down the line but still liked the story. If you like your navy men then this book/series is for you. It's about Peter who helps training seals become real seals but also a single parent to a teenager who he can't handle since his ex died. He can't relate to his daughter but does everything he can to keep her safe. She is in trouble and it takes him and romance writer Shayla to get her back. Shayla never thought she would end up in a thriller in real life or meet someone like Peter who makes her hot and sexy. They are neighbors who end up helping each other get Maggie back but there is a journey they have to go on to do that an it's not just one to get Maggie back but for each other to realise they are meant to be together. This is super hot and the plot is great. You get caught up in the story, the characters and there lives. As I've said never read anything by this author before but will be in the future, would recommend this book, was a fantastic read and fabulous story with a lot going on which keeps you turning the pages.

Some Kind of Hero
Suzanne Brockmann

Never gone wrong with a Brockmann SEAL book. Not only the story but the covers are always "hot to the touch".
The first sentence captures your interest immediately and holds it until the the last page. Romance writer Shayla Whitman spots SEAL Lieutenant Peter Greene, on the side of the road, desperately trying to get a ride. His teen daughter has run away and he is sure he saw her in a car driving away. So starts the chase to bring her back.
I just love it when a strong man finds a strong woman. Shayla has some good ideas about teens. Peter doesn't have a clue about teen girls. They compliment each other quiet well.
Finding the run away is just the tip of the plot. It gets darker and dangerous. There are deadly drug dealers after the girl also. Quick paced, plenty of action, and some fun conversation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The characters were compelling and the story was pure Brockmann.

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

DNF so I will not be rating or reviewing. Thank you for the opportunity to read this title.

The latest in the Troubleshooter series by author Suzanne Brockmann centers around Lt. Peter Green and his troubles with his daughter Maddie. The latter comes to live with him after her mother dies in a car crash; since they haven't been in contact for years, their relationship is very strained. When Maddie pulls a runner, he enlists his neighbor, romantic suspense novelist Shayla, to help him locate the runaway teen.

The first meeting between Peter and Shayla never made sense to me. Why was he on the side of the road and why did he need Shayla to stop and give him a ride to pursue a car that he thinks his daughter got into?!

Frankly, the suspense part of the story was lacking. This author excels and truly edge-of-your-seat action and there was non of that in this one. Maddie was exasperating and her reasons for taking off with Shaggy in the Mystery Machine, er, Dingo in his beat-up car, made no sense. She needed a spanking, in my opinion.

The relationship between Shayla and Peter wasn't very interesting either. But the biggest disappointment was the denouement. No great SEAL action here at all.

Seeing Izzie and the gang was good, but not good enough. If I hadn't been following this series since the beginning, I wouldn't be so disappointed, I think, As it stands, I don't consider this one a worthy entry into the Troubleshooters world.

Awesome. I loved this book!!! Suzanne Brockmann is one of my favorite authors and this book is an example of why. The main characters Grunge and Shayla bond over trying to find his missing daughter. Not only do you get the story from adults perspective but from the missing daughter's without being overwhelming or bored going back and forth. I was biting my nails hoping for a happy ending but seeing the possibility for disaster. I loved the suspense. And of course the addition of some of my favorite characters was a bonus. I was so excited to read this and so happy that I did.

I have read all of Brockmann's books and she is one of my favorite authors but this book just was not up to par. I could not connect with the characters or story line
