Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Beloved and bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann writes terrific edge-of-your-seat novels of romantic suspense set in the world’s exciting danger zones and exotic hotspots. Now, in her new sensational novel, she comes stateside for her most action-packed adventure yet.
It was supposed to be a “dog and pony show”—an elaborate demonstration of SEAL rescue techniques—to celebrate a presidential visit to a California naval base. Professional, no-nonsense White House staffer Joan DaCosta arrives early to scope out the area. Assigned to be her SEAL liaison is Lt. (jg) Mike Muldoon, a born leader—strong, decisive, tough, and fearless.
Against her better judgment, Joan finds herself drawn to the handsome young officer. Skilled at being “one of the guys” in the mostly male world of politics, she is dismayed when Muldoon breaks through her defenses. While tension mounts between them, fueling their growing attraction, a far more sinister danger is lurking, as terrorists plot a daring attack against the president. To protect their commander in chief, Joan and Muldoon must not only risk their hearts—but their very lives. . . .

Into the Night by Suzanne Brockmann, like all her books is a good read. When I see her name on a binding I buy the book knowing I won't be disappointed. Her stories carry you into the world of Navy Seals. Her style makes you feel you are right there with them and the reappearing characters who are trying to keep the world safe while sorting out their personal lives.
This novel has several stories entwined as characters from older stories mix with new ones. The love story of Charlie, DeCosta's grandmother is woven around her own and there are many similarities, both are afraid of love, but the addition of Mary Lou's wanting only to be loved, regardless of the costs, gives the tale interesting contrasts. The men in this saga are all appealing, brave and stubborn. Muldoon and Vincent are patient and persistent in the pursuit of the women they love. Sam Starrett avoids his wife and home life with the same stubborn tenacity, knowing he's made a big mistake but refusing to admit defeat. Meanwhile the bad guys are setting up to kill the president. Like all good mysteries you don't really know who the bad guy is until the very end.
Brockmann creates the real life feel to her work by adding in characters who are different from the norm. It is not what they are, but who they are that makes them worth knowing. Brockmann's stories often have misfits and shows them fitting in with the strong, handsome, normal guys who deep inside are misfits too. In life everybody's a misfit, it is finding people and situations that fit us as individuals that brings us happiness. Jules, the gay FBI guy is in this story and is one of my favorites, not because he's gay, but because he's interesting and so is his fictional life. In this story Donny the neighbor has serious mental health issues and showing the other characters dealing with him brings home the fact that mental patients have friends and families that love them because they are worth loving.
I have read a great deal of Brockmann's work and watched as over the years as her stories have drifted away from formula romance towards international thriller. Because the author's still evolving, each new work has a freshness to it that adds another layer of complexity to the experience of reading a Suzanne Brockmann novel.

Before last week I had never picked up one of the Troubleshooter books by Suzanne Brockmann but I am hooked now. I read the third book in the series and am now working my way through the rest. I loved Mike and Joan's story and I read this book in one sitting. Couldn't put it down!!

I've read all the Brockmann Navy Seal books and "Into the Night" was one of my two favorites. I found the plot interesting (and if you're just reading it, the plot is VERY important to later books) and I loved the relationship between Joan and Mike - no histrionics, just a couple of people working their way together with humour and real emotions. The WW2 portion is touching and very relavant as well, as we see a glimpse of the creation of what was to become the Navy Seal teams.
I'd very much recommend you read this book - I think it is one of Ms. Brockmann's most thoughtful.

I love Suzanne Brockmann and her SEAL Troubleshooters. This is yet another thrill-filled sexy and steamy encounter that you won't be able to put down. But even better than the thrills her books give is the fact that they are incredibly well-written. She develops her characters masterfully and consequently keeps you coming back for more, I highly recommend this installment and all the others!!!!

Book 5 in the series. And hmmm...I didn't particularly dislike this story, but I didn't exactly love it either. It was just sort of the subsequent story in the series, containing needed details for book 6 to make sense.
In this one there is SEAL Mike Muldoon, and Joan DaCosta, a White House PR rep. SEAL Team Sixteen is to receive an award for the president so he is coming to the base they train out of, and since it is an election year, the White House wants to do it in public along with having the SEALs do a demonstration. Joan is the White House liason and Mike is the SEAL one. None of the SEALs are happy about the whole thing, some of them have a bad feeling that there will be a terrorist strike, but the White House won't call it off.
There is more of the Sam/Alyssa dynamic in this book, but thrown in Max Bhagat, FBI head of the counterterrorism group, to the mix. I love all three of those characters, so I enjoyed reading about them. Also part of the book is Mary Lou, who is in an unhappy marriage with Sam, and Ibraham Raham, the gardner in the neighborhood Sam and Mary Lou live in.
I think part of the problem with this story was that there were a number of characters that I didn't really like. Mary Lou is annoying as hell. I really could have done without, but unfortunately, she was entirely necessary to the plot. Joan really ticked me off at times. She was very patronizing and judgmental. Mike was kinda cool, but I've liked the other SEALs better. The storyline itself was fairly interesting, so that was good.
The historical section was subpar, in my opinion. It involved Joan's grandparents and how the met and got married. It just didn't have the meat of the other historical parts in the other books.
On a whole, it wasn't a bad book, just nowhere near as captivating as the others.
