5 stars – Romantic Suspense
This features one of my top favorite romantic heroes and all-time favorite romantic duos, Sam Starrett (aka Hot Cowboy Dad) and Alyssa Locke) from Gone Too Far, as one of the story's two main profile couples, which made me all kinds of tickled pink! Sam and Alyssa are now happily married with an active 10-month-old bundle of joy, son Ashton, and are trying to juggle and balance the 'married with a kid' life with the demands of their stressful, dangerous careers as agents with security firm Troubleshooters, Inc.
This time around, a seemingly routine security briefing op for a New York assemblywoman turns into a search for a maniacal killer known as "The Dentist" (very Karen Rose style creepy!), who's possibly targeting Alyssa for his ultimate victim.
There's also a hot secondary romance between SEAL Danny Gillman (who I haven't really cared for that much in previous books since I tend to be Team Izzy in the Gillman vs Zanella feud) and the assemblywoman's office/campaign manager, Jenn LeMay, whom he's been assigned protective detail for. Brockmann leaves some character relationships unresolved that she's assured will be addressed in the next TS book, TBT #16, which will finally give us Zanella's story (YAY!) when it comes out in Feb'2011.
Hot Pursuit is another thrilling installment in the amazing Troubleshooters series that is truly one of the very best in romantic suspense. 5 stars!
Here's a touching scene that demonstrates why I love Sam and Alyssa so much as a romantic couple.
"Ah, God, Lys" he breathed, and she opened her eyes to look up at him. She was the love of his heart, his true partner in both work and life, and the idea of losing her to the violence of the world they lived in scared the living shit out of him.
But her smile lit her eyes, her face, and he pushed the darkness away and let himself grin back at her like the damn fool that he was. This moment-now-was perfect, and he wasn't going to let his fears interfere.
Especially since it was only 2100. This perfect night was still ridiculously young.

What did you think of Gillman and Jenn?
Auntee wrote: "What did you think of Gillman and Jenn?"Well, I was skeptical 'cause I'm not a Gillman fan, and I didn't like his underhanded reasons/plan for starting a fling with Jenn. But I liked her a lot, thought she was good for him, and liked them together. I just wish there had been a bit more time devoted to their romance (and a resolution), but SB mentioned in her author's note that there's more ahead for them.
I can't wait for Izzy's story. He's hilarious and such a totally sweet, sentimental, caring f*up!
Very true about Gillman and Jenn--there needs to be a little bit more in their relationship. I didn't like how it started either, but I think Jenn is good for him, and I do think he appreciates her and loves her. He needs to grovel just a bit though.:)At first (several books back) Izzy really annoyed me, but the last few books I've fallen for him! I wonder if he's still going to be matched with Eden (is that her name?) I hope so, and can't wait for his book either!
Great review. The next in the series should be great! I too am looking forward to Izzy's story as well as the continuation of Danny and Jenn's story. Something about Izzy I just love. I hope he doesn't end up with Eden, but if he does I just hope Brockmann convinces me that Eden is worthy of such a fine man. (Because so far, Eden has some work to do.) I just wish we didn't have to wait until 2/11!!
Thanks, KarLynP!I agree ladies.
Dan's got some groveling to do with Jenn, and I hope there's a good deal more in store for their relationship in the next book. We also need to find out what's up with his black-outs.
I've always liked Izzy (he just flat-out cracks me up), but I've really fallen hard for him too over the last few books as his tenderhearted, loyal, nurturing nature has been revealed. I'm not sure if I want him to end up with Eden or the assemblywoman Maria, but either way SB goes with it, I just hope it's clear that they deserve him!
I really liked how it worked out with Sophia and Dave and Decker and Tracy ending up together after it initially appeared that it might be Decker and Sophia. I've got faith that SB will work it out and give Izzy his much deserved HEA, especially since he's such a fan favorite.
