From Publishers Weekly

Against the backdrop of terrorism on U.S. soil, Brockmann (The Unsung Hero) weaves three complex romantic relationshipsAone fondly recalled, one unexpectedly resumed and one bursting at the seams to get startedAinto a tight tale that will leave readers eagerly anticipating the author's next installment. When terrorists kidnap her grandmother, Eve, and her 10-year-old daughter, Amy, widowed translator Meg takes an Eastern European official hostage to trade for her lost family members. Readers will forgive the plot's implausibility as Meg hurls herself headlong into her risky rescue attempt in spite of interference by former flame and Navy SEAL Lt. John Nilsson. While heating tension and passion to the boiling point, Brockmann firmly squashes the clich? of military men with hearts of stone and imbues her SEALs with honest emotional courage. In an equally refreshing move, she then stands the romance formula on its head, making the SEALs chase the intelligent, self-confident women who've done just fine so far without them. A smart, thrilling keeper among so many disposable stories, this is one to recommend heartily to friends. (Mar. 1)

From Library Journal

Continuing her novels of romantic suspense that feature Navy SEAL heroes (The Unsung Hero), Brockmann brings together a heroine whose daughter and grandmother have been kidnapped by religious terrorists and a SEAL hero who was in love with the heroine years earlier and is now charged with negotiating the situation. She then spins an unforgettable, riveting adventure that is fast-paced and a bit chilling. A RITA award-winning writer, Brockmann lives near Boston.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Romantic Times Review, Avril 13 2004
Par K. J. Blake "Super Reader" (Phoenix,AZ United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Defiant Hero (Mass Market Paperback)
When Navy SEAL John Nilsson receives a call telling him that former Kazbekistan Embassy translator Meg Moore has taken the Kazbekistan Ambassador hostage and is refusing to negotiate with anyone other than John, he thinks the world has gone nuts. Why on earth would Meg take people hostage in the D.C Embassy? Certain that there is more going on than meets the eye, John agrees to see Meg.

Once inside the Embassy, Meg secretly communicates to John that something is terribly wrong. Both Megs 10-year-old daughter Amy and her grandmother Eve have been kidnapped by a Kazbekistan extremist organization. They want Meg to find and kill rival leader Osman Razeem.

John and his SEAL team are ready to help in any way they can, but Meg is not being completely honest. For Meg knows that she is both willing to kill and die to save her child, no matter what the government prefers.

When you are in the mood for action, tension, excitement and romance, be sure to pick up a book by Suzanne Brockmann. Ms. Brockmann is a one-of-a-kind storyteller! (Mar., 416 pp., $6.50)

5.0étoiles sur 5 A True Military Thriller/Romance/Action/Drama! Wow!, Aoû 12 2003
Par Tracy Talley "Book Addict" (Boston, MA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The second book in a line of books which I didn't know was a series until I began reading it. It began with 'Unsung Hero'. But you do not have to read 'Unsung Hero' first, I understood what was going on and Ms. Brockmann doesn't leave us hanging and confused what-so-ever.
Apparently all her books have three or more stories weaved into one and they all converge somewhere in the end or middle. I usually hate these types of books due to the back and forth tales and never really getting to know the main characters very well, but she seemed to accomplish this very well and I am impressed.
Meg Moore, the heroine is desperate and will so anything to save her daughter and grandmother who have been kidnapped by terrorists calling themselves the 'Extremists'. Knowing the United States refuses to negotiate with terrorists from her job as a translator in the European embassy that same logic will kill her daughter and grandmother.
How far will a desperate mother go to save her small remaining family? Meg is not above taking a foreign ambassador hostage in the embassy at gunpoint to force the government's hand at helping her.
Navy SEAL John Nilsson is called on an emergency to help the FBI negotitate with an irrate woman holding an ambassador hostage. When he arrives straight from a training mission he is stunned to learn she had asked for him by name and she is the one woman he never forgot all these years, Meg Moore. Why was she doing this? This was insane and so unlike her!
John must stop her and save her before the FBI takes her out to save the ambassador. First he will have to delve into what is making her tick. Finding that little piece of information will take hours and hours of talking and gun pointing and some moments where John knows he will risk his life and his career to help and save Meg from her own Fate.
Action, drama and some very tense moments where you aren't sure what Meg is capable of fill this compelling book. A mother so desperate and so out of hope, she will kill to save the ones she loves, even herself to save them. I was so in awe of her strength and determination and loved John. He is her soulmate, truly.
The other two stories were as fascinating at the main one. One including the gradmother's tale to the great granddaughter about her love affair in WWII and the steamy relationship between another SEAL and an FBI agent(they now have their own story in a seperate book 'Gone Too Far')helping to find the hostages.
Truly a keeper.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Winner!!, Sep 21 2002
Par Jennifer Bull "Book Glommer" (Murphysboro, Illinois) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Defiant Hero (Mass Market Paperback)
Suzanne Brockmann has quickly become one of my favorite authors. In the second installment of her Troubleshooters? series, the focus is on John ?Nils? Nilsson and a frantic mother, Meg Moore. Meg?s daughter and grandmother have been kidnapped by terrorists in order to force Meg to kill or kidnap a foreign diplomat.

This is my least favorite of the Troubleshooters? series. I love John Nilsson, but it took me quite a while to warm up to Meg. It was not until the very end of the book that I liked her. This is mainly because she was under duress the entire novel, but the Nils' character more than makes up for my dislike of Meg. An extra chapter or a glimmer or two of her treating Nils with the love and trust he deserved from her would have helped. Fortunately, this happens in future books (at least, it is heavily implied!).

Equally captivating was the WWII story and the beginning of the Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke saga. As many other reviewers have spoken of Alyssa and Sam, I will not delve too deeply in that direction. Their storyline continues in the next two books in this series. This was one of my favorite WWII storylines! Ralph (pronounced Rafe) was by far my favorite WWII hero, and I was as captivated by their story as I was by the rest of the novel. This book also blended the WWII storyline much better than Unsung Hero.

Suzanne Brockmann is a brilliant author and this series has quickly inserted itself in my top ten, along with the Anita Blake series, J.D. Robb?s Eve Dallas series, and Christine Feehan?s Dark series.
