Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann knows exactly what makes hearts race and pulses pound: peril and passion. No one succeeds more brilliantly at blending these exhilarating elements in breathtaking novels of men and women forced to grapple with the deepest emotions and the highest risks. And there’s no better proof than her new novel of suspense: Hot Target aims to thrill on every level.
Like most men of action, Navy SEAL Chief Cosmo Richter never learned how to take a vacation. So when he finds himself facing a month’s leave, he offers his services to Troubleshooters Incorporated. Founded by a former SEAL, the private-sector security firm is a major player in the ongoing war against terrorism, known for carrying out covert missions too volatile for official U.S. military action. But the first case Richter takes on is anything but under the radar.
High-profile maverick movie producer Jane Mercedes Chadwick hasn’t quite completed her newest film, but she’s already courting controversy. The World War II epic frankly portrays the homosexuality of a real-life hero–and the storm of advance media buzz surrounding it has drawn the fury of extremist groups. But despite a relentless campaign of angry E-mails, phone calls, and smear tactics, Chadwick won’t be pressured into abandoning the project. Then the harassment turns to death threats.
While the FBI appears on the scene, nervous Hollywood associates call in Troubleshooters, and now Chadwick has an army of round-the-clock bodyguards, whether she likes it or not. And she definitely doesn’t. But her stubbornness doesn’t make FBI agent Jules Cassidy’s job any easier. The fiercely independent filmmaker presents yet another emotional obstacle that Cassidy doesn’t need–he’s already in the midst of a personal tug-of-war with his ex-lover, while fighting a growing attraction to Chadwick’s brother.
Determined to succeed–and survive–on her own terms, Chadwick will face off with enemies and allies alike. But she doesn’t count on the bond she forms with the quiet, capable Cosmo Richter. Yet even as their feelings bring them closer, the noose of deadly terror all around them draws tighter. And when all hell erupts, desire and desperate choices will collide on a killing ground that may trap them both in the crossfire.

 Jules Cassidy is my hero!, 2008-05-12
I absolutely loved the story between Jules & Robin. The other plots were good but the opening of the further adventures of the two men was exceptionally well written, sad and sweet. It left me wanting so much more!! Thank God Ms. Brockmann saw it that way, too.

Hits the target, 2007-09-19
There is not a bad part to this book. Jane and Cosmo are far and away one of the best couples in romance. The WWII story was great, the secondary love story was original and captivating. Highly recommended for anyone with an open mind.

 If I'd wanted a gay romance novel . . . . , 2007-09-18
. . . . . then I would have happily purchased and finished listening to this book. But the summary of the book is very misleading. And I'm sorry if this irritates the politically correct crowd, but I'm definitely NOT interested in gay romance stories.
If Brockmann had been upfront about her intentions with this book, then I think I'd feel differently, but the tactics that she used in order to "trick" potential readers of this book were underhanded and disgusting.
Despite really liking two of her other novels I'd already read, her covert agenda push in this book disappoints me to the extent that I stopped listening to the story when it was only about halfway finished, and I'm definitely considering not listening to/reading her remaining and future books.

Another Wonderful Brockmann Read, 2007-03-08
As usual, Suzanne Brockmann has created true-to-life characters and situations. As usual, I could not put it down until I finished it. She has a way of engrossing you in the story and character problems so that you can't wait to see how it all turns out. Her SEALs are all men to die for, yet have human flaws that make them real rather than plastic. Her heroines have the deep seated fears that many of us share. I would recommend any of her books highly.

Hot Target, 2007-02-16
I'm totally hooked on her books, I feel I know the people she's writing about. I have all her Navy Seal books.
