"Finally - Sam and Alyssa have their story!"

Finally, the long-awaited story of FBI agent Alyssa Locke and hot SEAL Sam Starrett. This book is a "sew up the loose ends" masterpiece. You'll find out about Sam's soon-to-be ex-wife, Mary Lou, and what's happening in her new life, and if her love interest, Ihbraham, is for real. You'll find out if Alyssa and Sam can finally learn to pull together instead of attempting to destroy each other.

Honestly, I began this book with a prejudice against Sam and somewhat against Alyssa. I didn't like Sam from the previous books, and I found Alyssa to be unsympathetic. However, Brockmann brought her considerable writing talent to bear and, as I began to get a deeper understanding of Sam, I began to like him. Being inside Alyssa's head more often also helped me to feel more compassion for her.

This is a must-read for those who've been enthralled by Brockmann's Navy SEAL series. Sam's story, with the horrors of his childhood unleashed, will break your heart. But the salvation of loyalty and love will restore your belief in people just as quickly. And you'll certainly wish for someone with the integrity, caring and love that Sam's adopted father, Walter Gaines, gave to Sam.

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.
