Some Kind of Hero

By: Suzanne Brockmann

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin, Patrick Lawlor

The Troubleshooters return in the latest thriller from New York Times best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann! Some Kind of Hero showcases Brockmann's signature white-knuckle suspense, romantic twists, and sexy Navy SEALs.

Navy men don't come tougher than Lieutenant Peter Greene. Every day he whips hotshot SEAL wannabes into elite fighters. So why can't he handle one 15-year-old girl? His ex's death left him a single dad overnight and very unprepared. Though he can't relate to an angsty teen, he can at least keep Maddie safe - until the day she disappears. Though Pete's lacking in fatherly intuition, his instinct for detecting danger is razor sharp. Maddie's in trouble. Now he needs the Troubleshooters team at his back, along with an unconventional ally.

Romance writer Shayla Whitman never expected to be drawn into a real-world thriller - or to meet a hero who makes her pulse pound. Action on the page is one thing. Actually living it is another story. Shay's not as bold as her heroines, but she's a mother. She sees the panic in her new neighbor's usually fearless blue eyes - and knows there's no greater terror for a parent than having a child at risk. It's an ordeal Shay won't let Pete face alone. She's no highly trained operative, but she's smart and resourceful and knows what makes teenagers tick.

Still, working alongside Pete has its own perils - like letting the heat between them rise out of control. Intimate emotions could mean dangerous, even deadly consequences for their mission. No matter what, they must be on top of their game and playing for keeps...or else Pete's daughter may be gone for good.

Enjoyable listen

I've read or listened to just about all of Suzanne Brockmann's books (multiple times), and I've been looking forward to this one for a long time. While I missed Melanie Ewbank's narration, Bahni Turpin did a great job. Patrick Lawlor was fabulous, as usual. I actually listened to the entire thing today, not getting much else done. This book has everything I love about SB's books. The new characters are a solid addition to the 'family'. I'm ready for the next book! :-)

Brockmann Delivers - Again

Signature Brockmann: wit, wisdom, humor, suspense, romance, engagingly imperfect characters, believable storylines, consistency in world-building from book to book... How about I just say Brockmann delivers it all? Workable as a stand-alone book, but so much richer if you've read the connected books, starting with The Unsung Hero. Lucky me when I picked up that first paperback years ago- they just keep getting better. Lawlor is THE male voice for Brockmann's novels and, while I miss Melanie Ewbank, Turpin is the voice of Shayla. You can totally visualize her. Highly recommend all Brockmann, even the early romances being rereleased. One caveat: if you have anything against military men or Navy Seals, then her books are not for you.

great read

this was an amazing book. the switching back and forth from male to female voices enhanced experience.

Suzanne Brockmann Delivers again.

In a story of adventure and romance. Brockmann take us thru the lives of a Navy seal his runaway daughter, the talented and sexy neighbor and a ruthless drug dealer.
The story is riveting,. A father who doesn't know his daughter. A daughter who dosent want to be known. Her supposed friend who frames her with a dealer, and a boy trying to help her. Enjoy!

Loved it!

Loved Shay and Pete’s story. I usually hate it when hero and heroine fall in love in a very short time span, but here it worked! I would have preferred if « team-up » with daughter happened ( I was figuring this was where it would go, so I had to adjust and let go), but still very good fun. It’s about time there is as more diversity in romance novels! Yay! Little neg:
Mr.Lawlor’s gravelly voice was good, but it is so unique he cannot easily transform it to fit each character. I had to go back and re-listen a few times because I didn’t know who was speaking anymore. (Although this was exacerbated because I always like to listen while doing something else, and was not so bad that it would make me stop the book.)
