With Into the Fire, Brockmann lights the fuse on her most explosive story yet.

Vinh Murphy–ex-Marine and onetime operative for the elite security firm Troubleshooters Incorporated–has been MIA ever since his wife, Angelina, was caught in a crossfire and killed during what should have been a routine bodyguard assignment. Overcome with grief, Murphy blames the neo-Nazi group known as the Freedom Network for her death. Now, years later, Freedom Network leader Tim Ebersole has been murdered–and the FBI suspects Murphy may have pulled the trigger. To prevent further bloodshed, Murphy’s friends at Troubleshooters scramble to find him and convince him to surrender peacefully.

Murphy himself can’t be sure what he did or didn’t do during the years he spent mourning and lost in an alcohol-induced fog. He does know he occasionally sought solace from Hannah Whitfield, a former police officer and the very friend who’d introduced him to his beloved late wife.

But Hannah, still grappling with the deafness that resulted from an injury sustained while on duty, was fighting her own battles. For years Hannah had feelings for Murphy, and one painful night their suffering brought them together in a way neither expected–and both regretted.

Murphy is ready to rejoin the living. As always, he finds himself knocking on Hannah’s door, and as always, his longtime friend welcomes him back into her home. Yet even as Murphy slowly rebuilds his splintered life, he continues to fight his growing feelings for Hannah.

Then he learns of Ebersole’s murder and comes to believe that the Freedom Network has targeted him–and Hannah–to avenge their leader’s death to violence. Now Murphy must face the terrifying prospect of losing another woman he loves.

As the Troubleshooters desperately search for him, Murphy races toward a deadly confrontation with the Freedom Network and ultimate choice: surrender his life in hopes that Hannah will be spared, or risk everything to salvage whatever future they may have together.

I've been impatiently waiting to read this book since Brockmann started talking about it in her newsletters, but it was well worth the wait. This was a fantastic book. However, if you're looking for a book with a feel-good ending, this is NOT the one. Because even though the "main" couple, Vinh and Hannah, do get their happy ending, just about every other aspect of this book will leave you feeling ragged and unsettled.

Wonderful book! Three great plots that all converge in a suspenseful and somewhat heartbreaking ending. This is not a stand alone book--you should read "Flashpoint", "Hot Target", and "Into the Storm" first or you most likely will be hopelessly lost and you definitely won't get the full impact this book delivers. Not since "Breaking Point" has S. Brockmann written a book that I was so invested in, I was reluctant to put it down. If I could have physically read this book the 10 hours straight it...more

And Murphy realized, with a sudden sharp shock of awareness, that his and Hannah’s were not the only lives that had been permanently damaged by Angelina’s murder. There had been a ripple effect from the tragedy. And his friends, like Dave, had lost more than Angelina. They’d lost Murphy, too.

I've been reading this series since the original publication of Book 1. I'm glad Brockmann is still going strong and I will definitely keep reading, but this one wasn't one of my favorites.

While I liked A-plot characters Vinh and Hannah individually, I didn't think they had much chemistry as a couple. Izzy Zanella (hero of the B-plot and future star of his own book, I'm sure) was goofy and endearing but he reminded me A LOT of Kenny Karmody from "Out of Control."

Into the Fire is Suzanne Brockmann’s 13th book in her Troubleshooter’s series. The publisher’s standard summary does not begin to cover all of the explosive drama in this book. Tommy Paoletti has his hands full keeping up with his Troublshooters and SEAL Team 16 friends.

Although this book is marketed as "romantic suspense", in reality it is merely a romance set in the world of spies, Navy Seals and domestic terrorists. The action, if you can call it that, and the "suspense" are muted. In addition, this novel starts with a bunch of characters who have a lot of background from a prior book and ends with at least two subjects still not settled, although three of the couples do get together and love is blooming for another couple.

It takes a little while to get going, it's kind of disjointed, and the first half is really angsty. But the end makes up for it.

Murphy/Hannah... is what it is. It's a sweet romance, and I like both characters. I think this novel became more about grieving than about romance, about the characters figuring out how to go on with their lives after a profound loss, or what to do when a mission goes FUBAR and somebody gets killed. I thought that was well done.

I found the Nash/Tess/Decker/Sophia/Dave stuff a little tedious. Maybe most tedious is the fact that Nash and Tess got together six books ago and are still having the same problems. And Decker still hates himself a little for what happened with Sophia in Flashpoint, Sophia's still hung up on Decker, and Dave is totally gone over Sophia. So it's a drama-fest just to begin with.

On the other hand, once we find out why Nash is acting the way he is, his behavior makes a little more sense, so I kind of forgave him.

Oh, but then there's Izzy, whose storyline has nothing to do with anything. Tossing the N/T/D/S/D mess into this novel makes sense, since Murphy, the glue holding this novel together, was part of the original team in Flashpoint wherein this all began, plus the Drama Team was all there when Murphy's wife was killed in Hot Target. But Izzy's presence in the novel seems to be very, "Hey, we haven't had one of the SEALs from Team 16 be a POV character in a while. Who's available?"

Still, I like Izzy a lot (as a character; I think if I knew this guy in real life, I'd want to punch him). I just felt like the story was tacked on. His wife Eden's being in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting herself kidnapped along with the other women in the book is, I guess, the tenuous connection holding those storylines together. And then... things are left unresolved! Which means we're in for a multi-book arc, I bet. (Which, probably, is more realistic, because I felt like Eden was too immature to really Get It at the end of the novel. But I felt cheated. This weird storyline getting tacked onto this book about a lot of other more interesting things and we still don't get a resolution?!? ARGH!!)

That said, this book gets a fourth star because the last quarter of the book was INTENSE. I was spoiled (I knew who lived through the novel), and still, I sat up until 3am finishing the book and then lay awake for a long time while my heart rate slowed back down, because there was just so much adrenaline through the end of the book.

Also, the women in this novel kick ass. Sure, the Troubleshooters show up to save the day at the end of the book, but I think the women could have collectively saved the day if given a chance.

And Jules showed up. He should do that in every book.

So, kind of a disjointed novel, but made up for by the fact that the last quarter of the book contains one of the most intense action sequences I've ever read. (less)

After the utterly forgettable Force of Nature- I didn't even remember there was a book between this and Into the Storm, and now I have, I'll let it and it's Ric/Annie, Jules/angst stories fall back through the cracks in my mind- this book brought back a little of the bitchin' fine Brockmann. Or, probably- I dig Izzy and he was back with another secondary storyline, so happy camper me up!

I have to say, more so than the previous Troubleshooter books, I skimmed this sucker. To be fair, I read it over a couple of days in the Union Square B&N, curled up in a not-designed-for-curling-up-comfort wooden chair in the corner. Yeah, it ain't a library, but I was traveling, on the road, and it was a hardcover edition and if I had bought it the weight of it would've made me want to abandon it in a coffee shop when I was done, and I can just never bring myself to ditch my books...my moral quandries never cease.

So anyway, I read it in that lousy chair- and as a sidenote, damn but it's a funny thing reading steamy scenes in crowded public. Most of me is totally lost in the scene but a tiny part sits back and looks around and wonders if anyone knows what I am reading RIGHT NOW, if anyone is glancing over at my book and catching sight of a few words... whoah! and how anyone could NOT know what I am reading about because I am sure my cheeks are blazing and my nose is about two inches from the page and when the chapter ends I'm going to light a cigarette and say "Hell YES that was good for me, honey".

But unfortunately it wasn't merely steam clouding this book. Murphy, a character mentioned a time or two in previous books, was back and paired up with a woman who had been whacked just as badly with the misery stick as he, having been rendered deaf by an accident, not to mention passed over by Murphy the first time around for her best friend. Neither character made me care overly much about them, and don't ask me to explain to you the convoluted off-Broadway op they were working on because I found it impossible to follow- possibly due to the care factor being rather low- hence the skimming. Suffice to say, characters were hauled in from all over the map to complicate the hell out of things and I mostly just grabbed the Izzy thread and held tight until things all came together with a bang- and a bunch of blasts- at the end.

That's not to say I don't enjoy seeing all the familiar faces- I love 'em, and the end rescue put them to good use with some fine action, but sometimes it feels a little...stretched? And this took Nash and Tess out back and kicked them, which is all well and good except that their story had been left dormant for maybe a wee bit too long, with only sniffs of hints at trouble, so again- care factor?

As for Izzy, as long as that boy doesn't lose his sense of humor entirely, more is always a good thing. I liked the Eden storyline- not loved, but liked, and for a set-up, that's enough- but unlike the grand, tortured couple of Sam and Alyssa who had earned the one-sided declaration in Over the Edge, I didn't totally buy him falling in love with her, not yet. Which means, of course, score for the author because now I'm hanging out for the continuation of their story. Dammit! (less)

I loved the storyline with Murphy and Hannah, but I also loved reading about Eden & Izzy. BTW, can Eden's brother be a bigger ass?

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

Not as good as other books in the Troubleshooters series. I seldom give a fast-fun-fiction read more than a 3, so this speaks well for this. Brockmann is one of the best romance/mystery writers. Her books include topics that have to be well researched to be believable.

What drags this down (and drags almost all romance writing down -- as far as I'm concerned) is the plethora of bedroom love scenes. NOT necessary, especially when there's a healthy mystery component. How many times and ways can yo...more

I listened to this book, which I have all of the Troubleshooters, and will review them all once I listen to them again and their stories are more fresh within my mind. I just finished listening to Into The Fire and very much loved it. It did take me a while to listen to it, since I have been pre occupied of late, but I finally finished it. Yooray For Me!!! It starts out with the main story plot which is with Vinh Murphey and Hannah; who have been friends for ages. Vinh lost his wife some years ago, and still has problems grieving over her death. He loved her dearly and his only friend he ever comes to is Hannah. He comes to her cottage one night drunk as Hannah usually see's him since his late wife's death. Hannah understands because she was her best friend. I remember when I had listened to Hot Target where she dies. I was upset when Brockmann decided to kill her off, but now I am glad that she decided to do Vinh and Hanna's story. It was much needed. Since there is a plot to frame Vinh for the man's death who he believed was responsible for Angelina's(his late wife) death. Hannah knowing she is the only friend he trusts, assists him in his mission to find out what really is going on and the risks involved are high. All the while his other friends(Seals ad Troubleshooters) are out hunting for him so they can find out what is going on and uncover the truth.
Another one of the sub plots is with Izzy Zanella and Danny Gillmann's younger sister who has just turned 18 years old are brought together. She takes refuge with Izzy for the night after her boyfriend leaves and abandons her at a Krispy Kreme. Where they spend one night together, and even though they don't get to third base, Izzy knows he is lost. Much later Danny forces him to marry his sister when she is found pregnant and they assume its Izzy's and even though Izzy knows he isn't the father he is willing to marry her.
Another minor sub plot that we see in this book involved Tess Bailey and Jimmy Nash. Although they are officially engaged, they have yet to set a date. It seems as though Jimmy is trying to force Tess into leaving him; and I have to say I can understand why (and you will too if you read this book) however you can see how much they love each other especially from a earlier book in the series Flashpoint. But you can see how Tess see's through Jimmy and his attempts to protect her although misguided.

I absolutely loved this book, especially since I am a Troubleshooters fan, and I have been hoping that Murphy would find love again after his loss. The main focus of the book is Vinh and Hannah's story. Although I definitely enjoyed the other sub plots; which were filled drama, wit and suspense and very arousing. I loved the mystery and intrigue, the unabashed passion that develops between the couples, and the undermining love that strengthens and fortifies these tender relationships that Brockmann reveals to us. The plot was filled with excitement and thrilling suspense, the characters were highly developed and well portrayed, and it involved most of the Troubleshooters Team and the Seals Team 16 as well; which is always great to see. I was utterly captivated by this book, and would love to be able to listen to it again. I hope to have the opportunity soon!!! This is definitely at the top of my list of good book to listen to and read!!!(less)
