White House staffer Joan DaCosta arrives at a California Naval Base to inspect the area ahead of a planned Presidential visit. Lt. Mike Muldoon is assigned as her SEAL liaison to answer any questions or address any problems with the visit. When Mike meets Joan, he is instantly fascinated by her. Joan is not flirty or shy like most of the women are around him. She looks him straight in the eye and tells him what she is thinking. Mike's fascination quickly turns into lust, but Joan quickly puts the breaks on a relationship. She can't believe a good looking 25 year old Navy Seal would falls for a thirtysomething woman who lives clear across the country. Muldoon decides he will conquer her reservations in the few short weeks she will be in the area.

The fifth book in the Troubleshooter series has a lot of good storylines. I love Mike Muldoon. He's such a sweetheart. Joan was fun, but I got tired of her constantly pushing him away. By the time she finally admitted that she wanted to be with Mike, I was starting to get a little bored with their story. But there were many other characters to read about in this book. The WWII story was nice. The couple in the flashback were Joan's grandparents. We got to see the beginning of their relationship, and their current relationship sixty years later.

Another interesting part of the book was getting to know Mary Lou Starrett. She is married to Sam and she is the reason Sam and Alyssa are not together. I wanted to hate her, but I couldn't. I'm hoping we see more of her in this series and she gets a happy ending. Overall, this is a good book worth reading, but not my favorite in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
