robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2106 more book reviews


Looking for something to occupy his time while on leave from the Navy SEALs, Cosmo Richter takes a job with Troubleshooters, Inc. They have been hired by a Hollywood Studio to protect movie producer Jane Mercedes Chadwick. She has received death threats from extremist groups who object to a real-life World War II hero being portrayed as gay. As Cosmo and the other Troubleshooters, as well as FBI Agent Jules Cassidy, try to find who is behind the threats, their investigation turns deadly.

Suzanne Brockmann is certainly on a roll with this series. It's been one 5-Star book after another for me. This one is no exception. I liked how Jane and Cosmo went from not liking each other, to friends, and eventually to lovers. Cosmos' back story was very interesting. I thought he and Jane were a good match. But my favorite storyline in this book was Jules Cassidy dealing with his ex-lover, Adam. It's taken a couple of years for Jules to get over him. Now Adam has won a role in Jane's movie. It seems like everywhere Jules turns, he runs into Adam. To make matters worse, Jules is attracted to Jane's brother, actor Robin Chadwick. But Robin is in denial about his sexuality. This Jules-Adam-Robin triangle kept me glued to the book. My rating: 5 Stars.
