I love SZ also. She hooked me with ‘Prince Joe’ and I have been a fan ever since although the last few books have been a bit dissapointing.

Suzanne Brockmann is a genius! I started out on the first of the Tall Dark and Dangerous series last week, expecting a light romance, and boy was I surprised. In fact–I was quickly hooked and now I have finished TDD and have just begun the first of the Troubleshooters.
I spent the vast majority of ‘It Came Upon A Midnight Clear’ in tears, because the way she described the tragedy is in many ways simplistic but poignant. And when she finally brought that story arc to completion in the ‘Admiral’s Bride’ I was both surprised and thrilled. I literally danced around my house in celebration.
These books contain a perfect combination of action and romance. She never goes overboard on the angst and she manages to keep a pace that is both realistic and engaging.
I am not a major fan, and this review is spot on with analyzing her writing.

Wow,and I thought I was a serious reader. Just found the Dear Author site when I was searching for Brockmann’s release date for the next TS book. I have read most of the TS books at least twice, a few of them I’ve read several times. She developes characters unlike any author I’ve read and she can’t write fast enough for me!! I bought a JR Ward book just because Suz endorsed it and I totally agree with her accessment– Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series is “to die for.” I’d love to know who else she reads.

One last thing I want to say is that I love her stand on gay rights. I love Jules and Robin as much as I love Sam and Alyssa or any of her other couples. As a reader I couldn’t wait to see them together. Her characters are so REAL– and Jules is at the top of my list of favorite personalities. I’ve heard Suz has received hate mail because of her open-minded, beautifully written love story of two men. All I can say is that anyone who has actually read the books and still doesn’t get it– I mean how can you be so ignorant???

I truly believe that Suz is about the best. I have read Lindsay McKenna, but one of her books (where Morgan’s wife and child were grabbed and drugged by baddies) seriously turned me off. I have been jotting down the various recommendations, some of whom I already have read and loved. My personal favorites are strong on characterization, so Suzanne is right in there, as are the Eve Dallas books by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts), Jayne Ann Krentz, Lois McMaster Bujold, Stephanie Laurens, and a new member of my Must Read series, W.E.B. Griffin. If you haven’t tried Griffin, start with his Presidential Agent series, the first being BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT. Lots of humor and a great cast of characters, most military.

I think Suzanne Brockmann is one of the VERY best authors I have read. I started in the middle of the Troubleshooters series…and quickly found a list IN ORDER of all books she has written and read every one. I can’t get enough. I just started her 3 months ago…and have now read every one of this series…and am up to the new one. I am now going to read the other series Tall Dark and Dangerous. Yousah!!!!!

Brenda, Suz has said that her next book but one will be a Sam and Alyssa story that’s more explicitly mystery, rather than romance, because, after all, they’ve got their HEA, don’t they! So your wish will be granted within the next 18 months, or there abouts.

I would like for suzanne Brockman to continue the story of Sam and Alyssa. Their story was the greatest love story in the series. I have read their book Gone to Far at least three times. I went back and read each of their encounters to solidify their relationship in their own book. Please don’t leave your writers hanging waiting for more of this vivacious couple.
