Some Kind of Hero
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
The Troubleshooters return in the latest thriller from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann. Some Kind of Hero showcases Brockmann's signature white-knuckle suspense, romantic twists, and sexy Navy SEALs.
Navy men don't come tougher than Lieutenant Peter Greene. Every day he whips hotshot SEAL wannabes into elite fighters. So why can't he handle one fifteen-year-old girl? His ex's death left him a single dad overnight and very unprepared. Though he can't relate to an angsty teen, he can at least keep Maddie safe-until the day she disappears. Though Pete is lacking in fatherly intuition, his instinct for detecting danger is razor sharp. Maddie is in trouble. Now he needs the Troubleshooters team at his back, along with an unconventional ally.
Romance writer Shayla Whitman never expected to be drawn into a real-world thriller or to meet a hero who makes her pulse pound. Action on the page is one thing. Actually living it is another story. Shay is not as bold as her heroines, but she is a mother. She sees the panic in her new neighbor's usually fearless blue eyes and knows there's no greater terror for a parent than having a child at risk. It's an ordeal Shay won't let Pete face alone. She is no highly trained operative, but she is smart and resourceful and knows what makes teenagers tick.
Still, working alongside Pete has its own perils-like letting the heat between them rise out of control. Intimate emotions could mean dangerous, even deadly, consequences for their mission. No matter what, they must be on top of their game and playing for keeps-or else Pete's daughter may be gone for good.

April 3, 2017
Brockmann’s reliably sexy Troubleshooters contemporary romantic thriller series continues with this fun, vivid 17th installment (after Do or Die). Lt. Peter Greene is living in San Diego with his teenage daughter, Maddie, having recently gained custody of her after her mother’s death. Maddie is sullen and resents having to live with a father whom she barely knows. She doesn’t realize how much he cares about her, and eventually she runs away. Peter turns to his neighbor, writer Shayla Whitman, a single mom to two teen boys. As she helps Peter look for his daughter, sparks fly, and Peter realizes that he is interested in Shayla as more than just a friend. After they hook up, he’s bemused by her suggestion that their relationship is only about sex. The passion and suspense continue unabated as Peter and Shayla travel across California searching for Maddie. While Shayla reaches out to the girl over e-mail, Peter enlists the help of his SEAL teammates. As always, Brockmann excels at depicting both lusty lovemaking and the genuine camaraderie of friendship. Agent: Steve Axelrod, Axelrod Agency.

- content: Dual narrators Bahni Turpin and Patrick Lawlor start off with a bang as hero Peter Greene jumps into Shayla Whitman's vehicle, urging her to "follow that car!" Peter's daughter has run away, and he thinks she's in the car that he persuades Shayla to pursue. The narrators divide the story, with Lawlor handling the predominately male points of view and Turpin the female ones. The listener can easily visualize Shayla through Turpin. Lawlor's narration adds to the humor of Brockmann's dialogue. For example, when Shayla, a writer, has an imagined conversation with one of her male characters, Lawlor provides his voice. Listeners who are familiar with the series will enjoy a visit from previous characters. Even those who aren't familiar will find this fun listening. S.B. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

From New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann comes the next exhilarating, adrenaline-driven book in the Reluctant Heroes series, showcasing the romantic suspense that Brockmann is lauded for, as well as a band of sexy special operatives and an emotional love story (or two) at the center of the action.
Attorney Martell Griffin is shocked when crime family member Berto Dellarosa asks him for more than legal representation. Berto's father has been murdered in a gangland-style slaying, and the killers are coming after him.
Martell realizes that Berto's hope for vanishing is not an option—the only way out is for him to obtain incriminating evidence against the murderers and their crooked cop partners to put an end to this mess once and for all. And the only way to do that is to set up a sting. Soon a deadly game is put into motion, rife with nonstop action, more than a few close calls, and a high-tension romance that's about to blow the lid off...
