This book started out so-so for me, with a few exceptions (the sweet heat between Dave and Sophia). There was lots of angst and worry over who/why somebody tried to kill Troubleshooter and former Angency Operative Jim Nash, and why the other Troubleshooters were now being targeted. Was it somebody from the Agency from where Nash used to work in black-ops "deleting" people? Why was Dave being targeted too? Could it be someone from Dave's past, and totally unrelated to Nash? Are the More...

I debated for quite a while about what to say regarding why I didn't like this book. And I pretty much came to the conclusion that it really didn't matter what I said. As I've seen elsewhere on the 'net when it comes to "discussions" about this book, anyone who dares to not like it is most often accused of being narrow-minded and throwing a temper tantrum because the pairings didn't end up the way the reader wanted them too. Which is NOT why I didn't like this book. It IS a factor, More...

Wow, where to begin?!! This was a hot, intense and thrilling addition to the series. Dark of Night is easily one of my favorites in the series, right along with Over the Edge and Gone Too Far.

I intentionally did not read any of the spoilers prior to reading this book (which was extremely difficult to do!), so I had no idea who the main characters were going to end up with. I wanted to read this book as it was intended to be read, and I am very glad I did. It made for such a thrillin More...

Fantastic! First book, in I don't know how long, that I stayed up ALL night to finish it. Got to bed about 4am.

The last couple of SB's books have been a little flat for me. Too much detail I guess when I am just looking for meat in my stories. However, THIS book completely restores my faith in this author. I left this book alone for some time because of all the Dave/Decker hype. I wanted to like (or not) the book on its own merits not because of the "OMG she ends up with More...

Game on! This is the book I wished "Into the Fire" had been. There were some spots of ITF that were brilliant, but it was very inconsistent. Dark of Night, on the other hand, is spectacular. I'm not going to write too much here, because almost anything I write would be a spoiler at this point. But, I will say that I had guessed about Decker, and I was so glad I was right. I couldn't be more pleased at that storyline. I had originally wanted the "her" part of that cou More...

Read it, loved it, can’t wait for the next one. So, in this one, Decker, who’s been hung up on Sophia, who he met in K-stan (whichever one), discovers that he’s not quite so hung up on her—as does Sophia, who’s been even more in love with him. No, he’s not gay. This other guy, Dave, has been carrying a torch for her forever, and finally, she’s given up on Decker and given Dave his dream come true, (This happened at the end of the previous book, so it is NOT a spoiler--unless you didn't read the More...

Below is the review from my original reading of Feb 2009. Listened to this book this week in anticipation of reading Breaking all the Rules.

This book was so "Game On" for Brockmann. WoW!!!!! I LOVED this book.

It was like going home and visiting with family and friends that you have known forever and catching up with them and finding out what is going on in their lives. Alyssa and Sam with baby Ash, Jules and Robin still going strong, other charcters als More...

As always, Brockmann delivers fast-paced action and riveting suspense. As always, her wit is sharp and there are some laugh-out-loud moments. (Maybe he was saying I love zoos. And as always, Brockmann is carrying around a massive club carved with "Jules is gay" and missing no opportunity to pound us over the head with it. I get it, Brockmann-- you're enlightened, you're progressive, you vote Democrat. Can we let it go now?

I appreciate the fluffy, easy read, but as with More...

This was only okay for me. I mean, it's Suzanne Brockmann so it's better than your average romance, but there was something missing. I think as Brockmann has gotten more and more suspense oriented, her focus on one strong intense romance has lessened. I like it when she has the one strong, strong romance. This just felt like it was lacking the love part of the book because it was spread through three couples.

Hands down, this is the best book in the series.

So many things are done well. Just to begin with, the action does not let up. Just when you think you can breathe, there's a knife fight or a hotel blows up or someone gets shot. (There are a lot of other surprises, too.) Poor Dave Malkoff in particular really gets put through the ringer in this book. Plus, this is a novel with only the established characters, and it resolves a lot of loose ends, which is always satisfying.

Suzanne Brockmann is very much an auto read for me. I especially love her SEAL 16 series and Sam and Alyssa rank as one of my three favorite romance novel couples of all time.

But since the introduction of Decker, Tess, Sophia etc. all in Flashpoint, I haven't had the connection with this second group that I had with the SEAL 16 group (Tom, Kelly, Jules, Stan, Teri, Nils, Max, Gina, Kenny etc.). I actually think Flashpoint was my least favorite of all the books.

But I've More...

Rarely do you have the treat of a series that just gets better and better. Each book I read eclipses the last! I loved everything about this book - and Decker! Oh, so much repressed sexual energy. Great closure on so many levels. Fantastic action packed read.

Edited to add:

I see that there are a lot of people who were disappointed in a few things - Tracy's seeming brain implant, the HEA of Dave/Sophia, and the HEA of Decker/Tracy. Yes, Tracy got the job through More...

When I found this book I was really excited because I had recently read the story of Deckers partner Nash in Flashpoint. So it fit right in that I should be able to read this one so soon after and find out what happened to Decker and Nash as well.

I really liked this book. I love the way Brockmann writes. She is very creative and includes characters that you learn to love. I fell for Decker in Falshpoint and I loved him more here. He is complicated, but has a real strong sense of rig More...

This was not my favorite of the series story wise, I felt it was a little weak and at times I found myself saying I wish it went a different way. Nash and Decker are amazing and I love both characters. I was anticipating an amazing story for both of them, but actually my excitement went from blazing to a extinguished flame.

I was expecting more from Nash and Tess for example their 5 minute sex episodes that heat up the pages. I know he was playing dead for his and his friends own good More...

I didn't realize this book was part of a series, when I started it, but right away in the first disc was sucked in and I had to find out what was going to happen. I think had I been reading this from the beginning I would have rated this book higher.

We have a big cast of characters, I had thought this book would revolve around Dave and Sofia, but while they were a large part of it, it seemed like they were more in the beginning and the end. But that was ok because another surprising More...

For years, operative James Nash has performed ultra-covert "Black Ops" missions for The Agency, but when he decides to walk away from their dirty work, his corrupt bosses aren't about to let him go. After Nash is nearly assassinated, Troubleshooters team leader Lawrence Decker launches a skillful deception to neutralize the threat and protect his friend. With the FBI's help, Decker fakes Nash's death, then brings him to a safe house with his fiancee, Tess Bailey, to recover from his in More...

Continuing to deal with the fallout from James Nash's meltdown from the prior novel, the Troubleshooters led by James Decker join forces with Jules Cassidy and his FBI connections to combat the shadowy Agency threats. Many of the major players in the series are targeted and the danger escalates as they close in on the masterminds but they are handicapped by a connection to those in power which allows the villains to remain a step ahead and possibly kill off everyone who could threaten the shado More...

Okay, Suzanne Brockmann shocked me just as much as she apparently shocked the Troubleshooters. Decker and Tracy?? I would never have guessed! I really thought he would've ended up with Dr. Jo, but I'm so glad he didn't. Tracy is the perfect foil for Decker's stoicism.

This book was an amazing read. I liked the fact that Brockmann didn't slip into an older second story like she normally does. I liked that we got to see Nash and Tess's conflicts coming to a resolution while at the same More...

Warning: I was in the Decker/Sophia camp so this book was the biggest disappointment ever! SB has always and probably will always be an auto-read (not auto-buy any longer!) for me. I found myself so emotionally involved in these characters I hardly recognized myself. It's a book for goodness sake, I told myself. Well, after 5 years of waiting for the HEA of characters that were, in my opinion, defined long before this book was written, the book just completely destroyed any hope for me liki More...

When I first read a Troubleshooters novel, I wasn't all that impressed. It was good, but I didn't think I'd stay interested in the series. Boy, was I wrong. Each one is better than the last. What I really like is that each new book features many of the characters from previous books and not just a casual mention. It's almost like having an extended circle of friends that you get to keep up with through these books. In this particular book, Nash is still dead to most of the world but apparent More...

Loved this one. Even though Decker has never before been a character that I liked much (he whined & brooded too much in prior books), in this one I really like the way his character develops in conjunction with that of Tracy's. I also really like seeing Dave as something more than a geek. I'm glad Sophia finally woke up to the blessings of a relationship with someone who actually loves her (Dave) rather than fruitlessly & self-flagellatingly (is that a word) pursuing a man who clearly wanted n More...

Another whirlwind effort from Brockmann, who to my mind made her comeback in 2007's Christmas All Through the Night. It doesn't hurt that Dark of Night leans heavily on some of her series' favorite sons: Sam Starrett gets a lot of cameo play here, and Jimmy Nash smokes up the screen a good bit, despite having his story "finished" way back in FlashPoint. In fact, the whole thing's a bit of a family reunion, just with terrorists and torture and a little C4. Demerits for the weirdly abbr More...

Badly shaken after the loss of one of their own, the men and women of Troubleshooters Inc. go up against their most deadly opponents yet--the clandestine organization called The Agency. But when their leader, former Navy SEAL Lawrence Decker, barely escapes with his life, it soon becomes clear that the hunters have become the hunted --and the Troubleshooters are no longer just solving a crime--they're fighting for survival.

I really enjoy the Troubleshooters series, but it's been a litt More...
