You started posting about these books, and of course before you did, I'd never heard of Brockman. I used to read only historical romances. I kinda skimmed the entries, looking for something that interested me, but you kept posting about the damned SEALs. This weekend I finally took advantage of online-available ebooks from my library. There were Brockman titles. I downloaded one last night, Over The Edge - the one with the earliest publication date that wasn't "checked out".
I stayed up until five AM reading, and I'm about thirty pages from the end now. I AM HOOKED ON THIS SERIES.
You're lucky they're available at the library and I don't have to shell out a ton of cash to buy them all, or I'd be shaking my fist in your general direction and... saying thank you.
(OMG SO GOOD.)
OOOH! Stan! I love him! He is one of my favorite Brockmann heroes. If there is any way to go back and read the rest of them in order I would recommend it. You will see Sam and Alyssa's relationship slowly build. It is fabulous.
I am so glad you like these. Now, once you have read these you have to check out the Mercedes Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Urban Fantasy. It is my other favorite series :)
The first two are only available as audiobooks right now, and I don't really think I'd want to listen to these as audiobooks. heh
I will have to see if they're available in print in our library network. Meanwhile, I can't help myself and downloaded the next one already. Wildcard!
My heart bled for Sam just from reading the one book. ARGH! I was looking for the order of the series online, and there was one list that had them noted by character - I see that Sam and Alyssa don't get together until much, much later. NO FAIR!
It may take a while for Sam and Alyssa to get together, but the wait is worth it. Also, you get to read a little more about them in every book. So their story line lasts for a REALLY long time.
WHAT??? I missed this entire thing but it's wrong, WRONG I tell ya, to pit my boy Jules against that ded sexay Max.
I weep.
LB- DEEP BREATH!!! Max and Jules are not going head to head...yet. Look at the side bar. Max is against Jenk. Jules is up against Cosmo. No problems there, right?
Yeah, I noticed and really liked that other characters' stories were developed along with the main focus-couple of the book.
Breathing. Breathing.
OK I voted. DUR. Wonder who I voted for.
OMG this is so cool. I love Suze B with a full hearted girl kinda love.
I have a crazy fan-girl crush on Suz. Even more so now that I learned she is a major Joss Whedon fan. She got to eat dinner with him!!!
I went to her book signing and was a total dork. But I have that great picture....
OMG! So jealous! I don't think she ever comes to Chicago for signings. :(
Shannon. R u in chicago??? My BG is going to Columbia in the fall...music.major.
huh.
LB- I do live in Chicago. I love it here. Who is coming to school here? A fellow music person, huh? It is a great city to be in for music!
BG is my Big Girl. She's graduating in 2 weeks. I sorta can't even believe it.
