HEADED FOR TROUBLE



Short story of Troubleshooters series by Suz Brockmann. There are 14 stories about the character of  TS. A lot of Sam, Alyssa, and Jules, haha. But my favorite stories always about Jenk, Izzy, Dan and Lopez. there are two stories about the four men, first meet with Tony Vlachick that made me laugh a lot and the interview with Suz, also very funny, hehe.

The compilation story actually written by Suz between 2005 till 2013 but the ebook I read published 2013. and I read this last September. The TS series would stop in a while cos Suz got another project. The project still talk about Navy Seal, that would be trilogy ( the spoiler tell about Martee Griffin, hehe). The first book, Born To Darkness published in 2012 but I don't read it yet, hehe. And the second book Do or Die would be available on February 2014. 

I still hope story about Lopez though. I want all of the story about team sixteen.

BREAKING THE RULES



This is the last book of  TS series, huhuhuhu. Hope Suz would write again about Lopez  :).
So the story in this book about Gillman's. Dan Gillman and Jennilyn LeMay, Eden Gillman and Izzy Zanella, also the youngest, Ben Gillman. He was gay hohoho. I'm very informatif lol. 

The story begin when Gregg, his step father send him to church project because of his illnes cos being gay. he fading and live with Eden who came back from Germany. Eden didin't call Izzy, his husband but she work at club as dancer in Las Vegas. In the meantime Ben meet with Neesha, girl from Asian that being kidnapped when still child and be created as slave. So the human trafficking  case made Izzy and his nemesis Dan to cooperate each other to save their family. The misunderstandings years between Eden and Dan finnaly end. Dan and Jenn married in Las Vegas. Eden finnaly come back with Izzy... yeah everybody happy except me cos the series would be dormant, huhu.

Haha I just kidding, I know that Suz have another project about Seal..So I would live another day to read all of her books, LOL

About the books, I still rate 5 stars. I like Izzy but I don't like Dan, haha.

All in all this book was great, the thriller and the plot. And I can't guess the dentist identity at all, haha. good job from Suz Brockmann. Definitely 5 stars :))

DARK OF NIGHT



Another favorite character of mine, the mysterious Lawrence Decker :)). On the previous book Deck with helped from Jules Cassidy fake  Jimmy Nash's dead to trick people that want Nash's dead. After Jimmy surgery, he and Tess go to safe house to heal and practice his phisycal training. The people that know he still alive just Tess, Deck, Jules and robin. But when Deck come to Tess's apartement to bring cloths etc Tracy Saphiro, the TS receptionist figure out that Jim wasn't dead. Then deck also want Tracy to come to safe house.

But people that want Jim's dead was attacked Dave when he and Sophia visited her father at hospital. So becaus eof the emergency condition, finally Deck bring Sam Starett and Alyssa Locke to guard Jim, and tom Paoletti and Ken Karmody to guard Dave and Sophia. The susspect was from Agency when Jim and Deck worked before in TS. Jim come to eliminated people on their grey group. 

And yeah after all the drama and action, the real villain was former head of the Agency who want money from the terorrist, and Nash knew that so they want eliminated Nash too. In this operation Tom being shot, and My lovely Ken 'Wildcard' also got 3 shots, 2 on the chest and 1 on the leg, huhuhu.But after the surgery he will be fine, haha. 

The main character, Deck and Tracy finally got together. But I think their story somewhat drowned out by another character, hehe. The balance couple, haha with Deck rather shy and grim and Trace that always cheer up. They will be best couple, hoho.

Another 5 stars book :)

INTO THE FIRE

So the former marine and TS agent appear on the map again cos there's problem with Tim Ebersole, the head of Freedom Network that killed Angelina, Murph's wife ( back to Hot Target). the rumor was that Tim being Killed by anonymous man, and yepz Murph name apperared as susspect. the FBI want to interview him. On the other hand, Murp didn't remember anything post Angelina's death, cos he move out a lot. with help from Hannah Whitfield, former police and  friend of Murph also Angelina he come to Tim's camp and found out taht Tim wasn't dead.

The side story tell about Izzy that married with Eden Gillman, they kind of funny. and aldo that finally Sophia knew that Dave love her, uh huh. After this Deck on action, hehe.

BEGINNINGS AND ENDS





The cover make me drooling, haha. I just imagine Jules with unbuttoned shirt, loose tie, his FBI costume, haha.He looks sexy and hot. :P

Okay I will love this short story. Robin still have to work for the tv series on Boston, But he felt a little bored. So yeah he want to end the project and start the new one. What the new?? He want a baby from Jules, haha. I know this,  that Jules the alpha on their married live. But when I imagine Robin doing laundry, cooking meal I just want to laugh. 

So okay Robin often crying cos Jules very romantic, and I know from the previous book that Robin got the nickname Boy wonder cos Jules the batman. I got it lately, hehe.

In the final, they got what they want, They're pregnant (but the sentence was we're pregnant). They always being lovely couple, I love them more. And they plan to move on west coast, to LA again. Ehm you know Dolphina married to Will in this story. 

It's another 5/5 stars book. I still have 5 books from TS series, and Jules always got character on each books, so I can't wait to know his happily ever after life...

Happy reading, and have a nice day everyone!!

WHEN TONY MET ADAM



So begin when Tony Vlachic, Navy Seal from team sixteen help on the case in Boston, in Jules's house. He met Adam Wyndham, the gay actor and hitting on with him in front of his team mates. His friends a little surprise, rephrase it  they all got big surprise, haha. Then Tony oing to LA, Adam's condo and after one night he got call to go to Afghanistan. He got injured in there.

Adam thought that Tony was dead and find information from Sam Starret. Tony wasn'tdead. And in fact, in the same time Tony go to Adam's condo only he didn't know that Adam was moved out. Unfortunatelly Tony fainted on the condo, and the former landlord called Adam that his friend taken to hospital. Adam panicked and called Sam ( again, what a surprise, haha) to get helped. And yeah Adam go to hospital and find that Tony unconcious and Dan Gillman was there too.

So after Tony wake up, he find Adam beside his bed, and finally Adam find the love. The love that he deserve and a little too late, hehe. I only give this short story 4 stars, cos I can't decided that I will like Adam, haha. After what he did to Jules and Robin, I still hate him a little hehe.

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT




The 12th books, the book that I wait for to read, haha. yupz It's all about Jules Cassidy and Robin Chadwick. Meen..they both was so sweet. The story began when Jules go to Boston to asked TRoin to marry him. But Jules got sick and they both go to Sam's hotel room. So Robin asked Jules to marryhim, and Sam heard all that, hahaha. It's so funny actually. Then they were preparing the wedding.

Before the wedding, Jules got assignment to Afghanistan and traped on there with his bos, the mighty Max Bhagat. But they all save by team sixteen of Navy Seal  also with help from the reporter, Will Schroeder ( remember from flash Point? yep the same person). So the reporter have a feeling with Robin's assistant, Dolphina Patel.

In this book Davis Jones also appear to the wedding party. And the president also attend the party. But before the part, Adam ( Jules' ex) I think I still hate him, haha come to Boston cos got a treat from maniac. The story end with Will being shot by the maniac. And Adam met Tony Vlachic from the Navy ( but that another book).

Okay the funniest scene also that made me little cry was before the wedding party. Robin forgot the gift for Jules, so he came back to his home at South End, Boston to pick the gift. But you know the old house and Robin?, yeah he become locked in his master bathroom. Haha..he was panicked, his phone on other room and he try to make hole on the wall. Jules that also panicked cos Robin missing search him with Sam, the best man.

And yeah when Jules finally see Robin, that the sweet moment. I can feel relieved cos they got together. The love they shared made me happy, really happy. They have to go through the problems ( Robin's problem with alcohol and he being in the closet cos he was gay, Jules' jealously) but they can solve all that and find the unconditionally love. I just want to feel the same love they shared. 

This book got all my heart, haha. I will give Jules and Roin 100 stars each. And I more admire Suzanne Brockmann book. Really really grat book. You must read this :)

FORCE OF NATURE



Remember character from book 9 of Troubleshooters series? There was one character, sarasota police named Enrique Alvarado that helped ( and hitting on haha) with Gina, eww. So this book tell about the same person, Ric Alvarado taht out from Sarasota PD and open private investigator office. Also got his partner Annie Dugan, his little sister's  best friend. So okayy..we better begin the story.

Ric have a client that her daughter being muredered by Gordie Junior or Senior, I forget the conclusion, haha. This Gordie was suspect to have connection with terrorist, Al Hasan. So Jules Casidy the handsome FBI agent got undercover to dug information about that and also the missing agent, Peggy Ryan. Jules and Ric make a team up to trap the Gordie with help from Martell, Annie, and Robin Chadwick ( yess that Robin, the actor, ehm gay actor that Jules got a crush 2 years before).

I love the action stories. And finally Robin out of the closet and said ( actually kissed) Jules in front of the media that he was gay. The truth moment, haha. Ric also asked Annie to marry him and yep.. Troubleshooters Inc want the both of them to join their team, yeah actually they want open branch on Florida, hehe.

It's lovely book, But I thought that Jules story steal the book, haha. This book in fact tell about Ric as main character, but Jules and Robin I think got better story, hehe and more entertaining.

All in all, the book was great, another 5 stars to Suz Brockmann. really she was adorable, haha.

HOT TARGET ; REVIEW




It's one of my favorite books, that for sure, haha. I think Cosmo take my breath away from his personality, hahaha. He's very tall, dark, dangerous and fabolous :P. But he also shy, withdrawn, and very love his mom. Yup I think the last factor that made me fall all over him.

Oke back to the story, Cosmo Richter is one of the navy seal from team sixteen. He got leave day but he didn't know what to do ( yeah typical lol), so he come to Tom Paoletti, and want to help Troubleshooters Inc that have assignment on Hollywood. The team with Decker as CO got thejob to protect  J. Mercedes Chadwick, a producer that threat with a death  by some organizations neo nazi cos her film, American Hero. 

Jane was opposite of Cosmo, so they are the unique couple so far from the series, and that made me love them more, haha. The side story tell about Jules Cassidy ( yeah another my favorite character, I love this Guy, ugh gay LOL) with his ex boyfriend Adam Windham that play as Jack Shelton on movie, also Robin Chadwick as Harold. The three of them  really makes me laugh, haha.

The WW II stories tell about the real Jack Shelton and his lover, Harold that had affair during the war. But the story ended tragically :'(.  ( or I think that)

So far thhe book more long than usual, but I syill love it. So it got 5 stars from me, yeayy!!!
As if you all didn't know about me that adore navy Seals and Brockmann haha.. :)

FLASHPOINT



It's new character on troubleshooters series. There's James "Diego" Nash and Lawrence Decker from agency. But the pair or couple or whatever you called it haha worked on Tom Paoletti's new project Troubleshooters Incorporated. short story  They must go to Kazbekistani to find the terorrist's laptop that missing during earthquake. The Computer specialist, Tess Bailey, also joined the team with Vinh Murphy and Dave. Tess that knew Jimmy and deck from the agency, pretending to be Jimmy's wife to enter the country. during the mission, Deck had more work to find Dimitri Ghafarri and his partner.Deck didn't know that the partner is SHE and actually Dimitri's wife. Unfortunately Dimitri was dead on Padsha Bashir's palace. Skip..skip..skip..Finally they met the wife, Sophia that also worked at agency with Dave. So they met the partnet and the laptop and rescue by seahawk of team sixteen. End the story, haha. oh by the way Murphy eing injured in this mission, huhu. And there's not side story from WW II, huhu. 

This book from scale 1 to 5 got perfect 5 of course, hehe.

GONE TOO FAR




One of the most emotional book I've ever read, haha. Yupz a lot of crying while I read this one. The Sixth book from Troubleshooters series definitely got 5/5 stars.

The story still tell the same terrorist from previous book, so read that before you read this one. Finally the main story tell bout Sam Starret cos in five books before he just being side story, hehe. Sam got divorce from Mary Lou that run away to Sarasota. The end story Sam finally get together with Alyssa Locke, haha after five books :') and hapy ending.

On this book alot of side story, from Max Bhagat and Gina, Tom and Kelly Paoletti that finally get married. Mann the book just so good uhmm not all is good though. Mary Lou and Ihbraham Rahman finally also together. The sid estory from WW II was about aunt Dot and Walter Gainnes. Yepz they were Sam's aunt. They married even though Dot was white and Walt was colored. O-keee don't be racist guy :). 


I'm crying cos Don DaCosta, Sam's neighbour also Joan's brother was dead, Mary Lou's sister, Janine also dead. o-kee I also cried when Tom and Kelly married, cosmo's injured bla bla bla..haha. Actually for the truth, I often crying while reading book or watch movie, but that's another story, haha.

One more book to my favorite shelves ;)

INTO THE NIGHT



It's story of Michael Muldoon and Joan DaCosta. Mike was the cutest and youngest SEAL on team sixteen, had to guide Joan DaCosta from white house staff on Naval base because the president want to come and watch demonstration of Navy Seal tehnique. Joan thought that Mike is too young for her and yeah Mike is the humble and always being gentleman to other woman. It's nice and funny though. 

The side story tell about Mary Lou Starrett trapped by terorrist. You can tell from this book that the terorrist not always from Arabian. The WW II  story more I like, tell about Joan's grandmother, Charlotte Fletcher, that become widow and try to help another war hero, Vincent DaCosta healing his wound. Vincent younger from her and love her, but he know taht Charlie still loved her first husband. Charlie want to marry him to prevent his comeback to the war. after they married long time, had grandchildren, Vincent still thought that Charlie can't forget her first husband. And finally Charlie give interview in hospital after Vinc being injured on Naval base during president visit by terorrist. So after long years, they just misunderstood because they never wanna talk about that one, Oh My...

I think the side story better than the main, haha. Sure Vincent and Charlie DaCosta story succes stole my heart. But I still give this book 5/5 stars, Think that I'll give all Troubleshooters series high rating :))

OUT OF CONTROL : REVIEW





Still from Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann, It's the fourth book and also my favorite. Yepz the main character of this book was Ken " Wildcard" Karmody, the geek of the team sixteen, haha. I have a crush wuth him from the second book :). So the setting was on my beloved country Indonesia. Tell about the terrorist etcetera, Kenny accompanied Savannah Van Hopf to brought the money for Alex, Savannah's uncle that being kidnapped. Actually the setting in Parwati island was only fiction. The side story tell about Jones and Molly, the missionaries in Parwati. Savannah's grandma, Ingerose Van Hopf became main story from World War II point of view. Sge was double agent for FBI and Nazi, and being in loved with Prince from Austria, Heinrich Van Hopf. The story really romantic I though. The book become my favorite so far.. I love Ken, Jones and Rose story and really fall in it, hehe.

On scale 1 to 5, I'll give 10 for this book :)))

OVER THE EDGE : REVIEW




Okay.. it's the third book from Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann ( the specialist on Navy Seal series, hehe). So the book actually published on 2001, but I always postpone to read it (yeahh really it series has 17 books). So for my target this year I will read all of them :). Okay back to the book, It came from team sixteen of US Navy Seal, and this book tell about the Senior Chief of this team, Stanley Wolchonok. Stan have nickname in the team for The Mighty Senior Chief or Mr. Fix It, haha. Start from he witnessed the helo pilot for naval base Teri Howe harassed by her boss. So like a hero Stan come to rescue her :). Until they all got the mission to Kazbekistani cause there was American plane being hijacked by terrorist. From the start Stan wanna matched Teri with his team mate, Mike Muldoon. But as you all can guess finally Stan realise that he love Teri himself.

Beside the major of Stan's romance, this book also tell about the relationship between Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke ( my friend's favorite) and preview about Max Bhagat, the FBI agent and Gina Vitagliano. Not like Tall, Dark, Dangerous series background from this novel was World War II, and this book tell from Denmark point of view. Marte ( Stan's mother) rescue her friend Helga whom Jewish from Germany. I think I a little cry when on this WW II part, haha.

All and all on scale 1 to 5, I'll give this 5, haha. Good job from Suzanne Brockmann!!!
