Synopsis

From unrelenting action to intense emotion, from high-stakes drama to breakneck pacing, New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann is a novelist who does it all. Flashpoint is an exciting thriller about men and women operating where agents of the US government cannot, where America's most ruthless enemies thrive—and where every step you take just might be your last.Jimmy Nash has already lived two lives—and he can't talk about either of them. Formerly an operative of a top secret government agency, he has found a new job with a shadowy company called Troubleshooters Inc. Created by a former Navy SEAL, Troubleshooters Inc. helps anyone in desperate need—which provides a perfect cover for its other, more perilous objective: covert special operations.Now Nash and a quickly assembled team of expert operators have come to the earthquake-ravaged country of Kazbekistan in the guise of relief workers. There amid the dust and death, in a land of bloodred sunsets and ancient blood feuds, they must track down a missing laptop computer that may hold secrets vital to national security.To get it done, Nash does what he does best: break every rule in the book and manipulate those who can help him get what he needs. But this time Nash may have met his match in Tess Bailey, a Troubleshooters operative with all the right instincts—and zero field experience. The chemistry between them is immediate—and potentially explosive. Now these two professionals must play out their dangerous games in the world's most dangerous place, cut off from their own government, cutting deals with people they can't trust, and guarding forbidden passions that threaten to compromise their crucial mission.A full-throttle adventure teamed with heated emotion, Flashpoint proves that Suzanne Brockmann can spin suspense unlike any other author working today.

Lo cierto es que se me ha hecho algo pesado. Le falta mucha chispa para para ser una novela de acción romántica Los personajes no me han parecido nada atrayentes. en realidad la sensación que me ha dado es que él se enamora de ella porque tiene unos buenos senos y ella no tengo nada claro porqué se e......more

Quotes

“Powerhouse author Brockmann opens up a new chapter in the exploits of SEAL Team 16. Creating Troubleshooters Inc. opens the door to whole new vistas for her to explore.” RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)

“Veteran romantic-suspense novelist Brockmann serves up a heady mix of tension, romance, and international intrigue…Car bombs, shady American reporters, police interrogations, aftershocks, and hot sex complicate matters, but it’s a hotel ambush and Tess’ kidnapping that sends both men on the rescue effort of their lives. Their brisk success allows the romantic entanglement to resume center stage, where, as far as romance fans are concerned, it belongs.” Publishers Weekly

“Really, really good…Flashpoint is an impressive work. Brockmann gets points for continuing to explore new directions and doing so quite well.” Bookreporter

“It should come as no surprise to listeners that Brockmann began her career as a screenwriter. The dialogue in her romantic suspense novels is always plentiful and finely tuned, which is partly why her newest offering translates so well to audio. The rest of the credit belongs to Ewbank and Lawlor, who narrate alternate sections of the book, Ewbank taking on the chapters told from a female perspective and Lawlor handling those told from a male point of view…Both narrators…deliver the book’s spirited banter with gusto, making this an enjoyable beach listen.” Publishers Weekly audio review
