Gone Too Far (Troubleshooters Series #6)

A wonderful story

It seems like a lifetime ago that we met Sam and Alyssa. Through several books we watched their ups and downs. Now in Gone Too Far they get their story. Its is well worth the wait. Sam Starrett is on his way to see his soon to be ex-wife and young daughter. What he finds at her house is horrific. It sets off a chain of events that rocks Team 16. Alyssa Locke gets dragged back into Sam¿s world. She realizes that she is his only hope to clearing his name and finding his daughter. The resolution of Sam and Alyssa¿s story has everything you want in a book. I can¿t recommend it enough, hurry and get this book.

Brockmann is Back!!!

I am not going to bore you with a synopsis of the book. Instead I am going to tell you why you have to own this title. I have been a Suz Brockmann fan from WAY back in the 'Loveswept' days and own almost everything ever published (darn Loveswept for making Ladies Man a subscriber exclusive). The last two books by Suz have been just sorta 'ok' and honestly, I was ready for her to make a change from the SEAL line, but this book has brought me back hoping for more stories from the guys of Team 16 and the 'new business' (you have to read the book to know what I am talking about). Typically Suz's full length novels are a little overcrowded with simultaneous story lines and frankly, the WWII stories had dragged most of the other books in this series down for me. But this novel has it all: a great Hero and Heroine, fast pacing, excellently interwoven sub-plots and a touching WWII story that fits nicely with the rest of the book. Now, I will say that if you are sensitive to cursing this might not be the book for you, because there is A LOT of cursing. You can't help but root for Sam and Alyssa and their journey is not an easy one. Mary Lou fans will be pleased as well. The story had me laughing and even crying a little. You won't be able to put it down and it is worth the hardcover rate. Don't pay attention to the Kirkus Review. Obviously they only skimmed the story because some of what they said is not close to the mark. I checked out their website and it seems sarcastic reviews are their stock and trade. Way to go, Suz! Please write faster!!!!

Highly Recommended

I love the whole series, I went from one to the next to the next non stop and loved each one more than the one before. Great characters and stories throughout the series!

"At Last! Sam and Alyssa's Book"

I completely agree with Linda Howard's review: "At last! Sam and Alyssa's book!..." I've been intrigued about this couple from the first book in the series (Unsung Hero) and I've been anxious for their "happy ending", as Alyssa put it in Out of Control.

If you've read the previous books in the series, you know that Sam and Alyssa have had a hate/love relationship; topped off with twists and heartache. I didn't think I could love a fictional set of characters anymore than I did, and then I read this book. I want Sam Starret and I want to be Alyssa Locke.

I can't say a bad thing about this story line. Brockmann gave me exactly what I wanted with this couple. I'm glad she took the circuitous route because we got to know them so well.

Of course Brockmann doesn't focus on one couple for an entire book, so we also get a better look at Mary Lou and Ibraham's (sp?) story, as well as Max and Gina's story. (I have a strong feeling that Max and Gina are going to be the new Sam and Alyssa.)

I hope you read the previous books in this series. The book can stand by itself but it's such a good, tied-into-each-other-series that I feel like you'd be missing nuances without the background. I recommend this book and all of the books in the series!

** P.S. This is the first book in the series without a WWII storyline.

My favorite. Finally some tension is relieved between Sam and Alyssa. One of my favorite characters by the way. Great story, the twist and turns were so creative.

Sam & Alyssa

Finally Sam and Alyssa get there story, and its a good one. Very action packed and thrilling. If you have not followed the series I suggest you go back to where Sam and Alyssa first started in "The unsung hero". This was such a good story. I think you will all enjoy it as much as I did! Happy reading.....

Hot!

Suzanne Brockmann is my favorite author! I have read all her books there is not one I have not enjoyed. I have to say Allysa and Sam are one of my favorite couples.

Murderous Intent

Suspense and trouble to the highest degree!!

Waiting...

I am late to the Troubleshooters series and came in half way through it. Of course Sam and Alyssa caught my eye immediatly. I looked everywhere for this book and with every bookstore i went to, my anticipation doubled. When i finally got the book, i was satisfied and yet not. The book is good. The plot is good everythign is fine BUT with how much effort Suzanne put into bringing these charectors together in previous books, she dissapointed with the climax. i was expecting..i dont know, a more explaosive coming together and yes, the side stories did take away from the main idea BUT the book was excellent and if you are able to keep track of the charectors and side stories, its a really good book. I deinfilty recommend it.

The best!

I loved this book! It's better to read this author's books in order otherwise, the build up of the characters through the different books is lost. Yes, there were a lot of subplots, but, once again, the author was building characters for future books. No one can beat Suzanne Brockmann when it comes to writing books featuring Navy Seals. She's the best!

I couldn't wait to get started with Sam and Alyssa!

I found this book to be one of her many great reads. Mrs. Brockmann did an excellent job with this book as well as her other nine books. I found that I was up until 2-4 in the morning reading Mrs. Brockmann's books, and still had to get up for work at 6 am. I have two more left in the series and I am very sadden that it is almost over--but this was the main one that I look forward to reading the most. Oh and I found out that if you read them in the order they were written in they all came together in some-way-shape- or-form! As far as the many plots or subplots goes, I had no problem keeping up with them because I read the other six or seven books before this one so it was very easy to keep up with the plots. So as an avid reader I had no problem getting through this book just as I did the others...Keep up the good work Mrs. Brockmann and I look forward to more of your work...

My least favorite of SEAL team 16

I was disappointed with this book. I think there were way too many subplots and her other books have carried on their own but this one had way too many carry-over plots. I don't think the Sam and Alyssa romance was one I even care about anymore. Although I liked them individually I wanted to say 'enough already' about their relationship. I think more appropriate title would have been ' Runaways' as everyone was runing from something in this book:Mary Lou, Sam, Max. I agree that the Max and Gina plot was much more enjoyable than the Sam and Alyssa and MaryLou plots. I read some of Ms. Brockman's books out of order and went back and read them all even though I knew from some books how they would turn out. They are still very worth reading and enjoyable. I usually am not distracted by all the subplots and they all tie together but this book definately has been my least favorite.

Disappointing

This book had too many side plots, drawing away from each other. None of the stories got the attention they deserved, especially Sam and Alyssa. There was just too much going on at once for me to connect with the characters. A particularly meaningful moment would start to take place, and then suddenly the scene would change to two completely different people. This made the characters hard to know and connect with. I also found it difficult to believe that Sam was worrying about sex with Alyssa when his daughter is missing and possibly dead. The relationship with Max and gina doesn't seem to fit in with the main storyline, not that you could really tell there was one, and drew away from it. The only part I liked was the flashbacks of Sam's childhood. That provided a little more background into his character. Other than that, the storyline was weak as with the character development.

Gone Too Far (Troubleshooters Series #6)

This was my second book by Ms. Brockmann and I didn't find it great. I thought it was drawn out at times, especially the cell phone conversations with Sam and Alyssa. I also found the constant fighting/bickering between them boring at times too. I totally enjoyed Max and Gina's storyline better. But as I have said in my other reviews, I don't particular like that Ms. Brockmann has other storylines going because I think it takes away from the main characters.

Love this Book!

Finally Alyssa and Sam's book! Suzanne Brockmann has a way of making her characters come to life and she doesn't disappoint with Sam, who is one of the most realistic characters I've ever read about and my new favorite of all of her SEALS.

Gone Too Far (Troubleshooters Series #6)

This book was okay. I am a new reader of this author and this was my second book by her. I have to get used to the side characters that she adds. I like that she went into Sam's background, it made him seem so real. I thought he and Alyssa fought too much and I was getting bored at times with all the talking on the cell phone. Should have been more action less talking/fighting (I love the romance though). I did prefer the sides - Max and Gina. I am now reading another book by her hopefully it will be much better.

The best plot line doesn't involve the main characters

I really liked this book but because I enjoyed the 'side' story about Max and Gina. In all the other books, I've enjoyed Sam and Alyssa's romance and I'm glad the finally get together. But they make better side characters than main characters. I can't wait to read Breaking Point which is Max and Gina's story.

Best Brockmann Book By Brockmann

Suzanne writes the best books i am only 16 and i loved it! One of my favorite books i have ever read! I cant wait to read more of her books

The Best Brockman Book

This is the BEST Brockman book. I loved how she really developed Sam's background. She went into great detail, he almost seems real... I'm so glad Sam and Alyssa got together FINALLY!!! Keep writing great stroies. All of the SEAL stories are beautifully written.

Okay

I waited for this book to come out and grabbed it as soon as it came out. It was good but some of it seems kinda....off. Sam was smarting off like he used to and Alyssa seemed different. She just all of the sudden wants Sam and after that one part in the motel, she's in love with him? I don't buy it. I was hoping this book had more up and down battles between Sam and Alyssa. But overall, I am glad they got together but there wasn't much action.
