Dark of Night - Suzanne Brockmann



I am such a fan of Suzanne Brockmann and I couldn't wait until this Troubleshooters book 14 came out. I had to get the e-book and read it at work since I couldn't wait until I got home to download. I have to say that I love, love, love Dave Malcolff. He guy is just adorable so utterly and pitifully in love with Sophia. One think I like about SB is that she ties in so many other characters in each chapter bit by bit that it helps the story flow. Nothing is worse then finishing two chapters, going off to another arch and then back again. I get too lost. There are so many fantastic personalities and so much going on that my head spins in a good way trying to read faster just to soak up all the drama.
Ok, so first off so many fan I know were wished for Decker and Sophia to hook up. You could just tell from all of Brockmann's books that there was too much damage there for that. Too much history and guilt and way too much room for Dave and Sophie and since Into the Fire, Deck and Tracy. Although I do have to admit I didn't see the set up until the phone convo between the two at the end. Then my blood was boiling with excitement at the prospect.
I do like how SB hooked up Sophie and Dave, but all in all they did have thier own emotional issues to deal with, Dave's constant reminder that Soph wanted Decker and he is only 2nd best. Poor guy, he took it and ran with it knowing that he would always be 2nd best in her eyes. He loved her that much. But push come to shove Sophie fell in love with him. And who couldn't, Dave is a doll and her own James Bond. I have to admit that I fell apart when I read the letter he left for Decker and Sophie, it broke my heart.
As for Tracy and Decker I like that SB didn't make her a complete idiot but in fact she was a pretty smart cookie. Even if she wan't an agent the girl had moxie and brains. Who cares if she is just a receptionist, doesn't mean she is a dope too! I adore how she broke him so to speak. With every comment, every question she wedged her way into his heart and into his concious. And I adore how Decker discribed her to Jimmy at the end. He is most definitly his shinning light.
Also Sam, still one of my favs, plus it was so good to see Robin and Jules as well. This book I have to say was one of the best ones. It had the romanace, the drama and just enough mystery to keep me turning the pages.

I am a working mom with an addiction to coffee, chocolate, and books.. I read an average 3 to 4 books a week to escape reality. I have setup this site to organize my own thoughts and help others when choosing what to read. Since I can be a dimwit at times I decided to keep a record of the books I read. This record turned into reviews so I would remember if I liked the book I forgot I had read. I am not particularily funny and my grammer sucks so please don’t expect much. Basically I don’t know jack about many things, but I do know what I like in a novel and what makes me want to spend my money on an author.
