"Suz Brockmann does it yet again with Sam and Alyssa's long awaited story!!"

The long awaited story of Navy SEAL Lt. Sam Starrett and FBI Agent Alyssa Locke has finally arrived! Believe me, it was well worth the wait! I absolutely could not put this book down and read it in a matter of hours!

Sam decides after not being able to get in touch with Mary Lou for three weeks that he'll pay her a visit in Florida. He really wants to get this divorce behind him and start his life anew. He still wants to try to stay in his daughter Haley's life though so he feels if he can just talk to Mary Lou, maybe they can work something out.

When Sam arrives at Mary Lou's sister Janine's house, he can't understand why the windows are so dark until he figures out that those are flies covering the inside of the windows. He has a very bad feeling about this and rightly so. When he gets into the house, he finds a woman who has been murdered. He's sure the woman is Mary Lou. He calls Alyssa Locke to tell her what he's discovered. Alyssa wonders if Sam murdered his wife.

This is just the beginning of an intense race against time to find out who was behind the assassination plot to kill the President of the United States and how Sam and Mary Lou are even involved in this to begin with (See INTO THE NIGHT). Alyssa knows if she throws her lot in with Sam, she will more than likely kill any hope of a lifelong career in the FBI but she knows in her heart that Sam could never be guilty of what they are accusing him of but can she can prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt?

Talk about your action and adventure, this book has it in spades! Suzanne Brockmann has never failed to give a fabulous read which is why she is one of my automatic buy keeper authors! I eagerly await each and every one of her books!

In her sizzling, award-winning novels of suspense, bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann delves into the adrenaline-rushed world of counter terrorism--and taps into the real passions of its brave men and women. Now in her widely anticipated hardcover debut, she spins a story of action, intrigue, and romance, as a U.S. Navy SEAL and an FBI agent race to unravel a mystery--while confronting their own unresolved feelings for each other. . . .

Summary

In his career as one of America's elite warriors, Lt. Sam Starrett can do no wrong. In his private life, Sam--the king of one night stands--has done little right. Now, he's waiting for a divorce and determined to stay active in his young daughter's life. But when Sam shows up at the door of his ex-wife's home in Sarasota, Florida, he makes a grisly discovery. His daughter is gone and the body of a woman lies brutally murdered on the floor.

FBI agent Alyssa Locke's relationship with Sam has been overwhelmingly intense and nearly catastrophic, yet it refuses to end. The last time she saw Sam was six months earlier, when they worked together to stop terrorists from assassinating the U.S. President. Much to her dismay, Alyssa is assigned to lead the murder investigation and once again the two are face to face. When explosive information surfaces linking Sam to the still unsolved assassination plot, the stakes are raised. With her reputation hanging in the balance, and her loyalties in question, Alyssa is faced with an impossible dilemma:arrest a man she believes to be innocent, or risk her career.

While Alyssa tries to fight their intense attraction, Sam is determined to heat things up between them once again. And the complex case pushes them both to the wrong side of the law--and on the run to discover the truth. As more agents step into the chase, and with Sam's daughter still unaccounted for, neither Alyssa nor Sam can predict just how deadly hot this situation is about to become. . . .

A thrilling novel that ranges back into the days of World War II, into friendships, families, liaisons, betrayals, and the code of honor that binds the U.S. Navy SEALs, Gone Too Far is an electrifying experience in suspense--and a brilliant tale of lives lived on the edge.
