Ready to Roll: A Troubleshooters Novella

by Suzanne Brockmann Narrated by Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank

Overview

The only easy day is yesterday. BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) training is known for being the toughest, meanest, most physically punishing program in the entire US Navy, and a new crop of tadpoles have arrived in Coronado eager to prove their worth-to make it through Hell Week, and become US Navy SEALs.

Although Izzy prefers assignments out in the “real world,” he's glad to be an instructor for the current BUD/S class, because it allows him to spend time at home with his wife, Eden, and her lively and lovable extended family.

Eden's sixteen-year-old brother, Ben, is dealing with a new crush and a homophobic bully in his high school, but it soon appears that things are not as they seem.

Meanwhile, Eden's other brother (and Izzy's SEAL teammate and former frenemy) Danny Gillman and his wife Jenn have just had a baby who has colic and cries constantly.

As Ben deals with the type of too-serious high school drama that could involve a body count, and Danny and Jenn juggle a new baby, lack of sleep, and postpartum blues, Izzy is intrigued by “Boat Squad John,” a misfit team of young SEAL candidates all named John, including the intriguing young Seagull, his swim buddy Timebomb, and Seagull's nemesis Hans.

Does Seagull have what it takes to keep Boat Squad John still standing when the dust of BUD/S Hell Week settles or will they ring out?

Set in Coronado during BUD/S training Hell Week, in Ready to Roll Brockmann introduces the SEAL officer and instructor nicknamed Grunge-Lt. Peter Greene-as she delivers what she does best: a story celebrating the US Navy SEALs-and the women (and sometimes men) who wholeheartedly love and support them.

Returning to the world of Brockmann’s Troubleshooters, this romance novel is set amid the training of a group of Navy SEALs. Narrators Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank masterfully handle the multiple points of views, with Lawlor taking on the predominately male characters and Ewbank the females. Lawlor, in particular, does an excellent job of portraying the personality of each character. Listeners will find themselves chuckling at Lawlor’s and Ewbank’s narration of Brockmann’s humor. The narrators make it easy for listeners to visualize each of the SEAL candidates as he endures the grueling training.The audiobook provides a great taste of the Troubleshooters series, and Lawlor and Ewbanks add to the enjoyment.
