Summary: By far the best book yet
Review: I can truly say that Over the Edge brought out every emotion that I have and some that I didn't even know that I had. Stan and Terri will make you laugh and Sam and Lys will break your heart. I recommend that you purchase this book and the other's before it if you haven't already.

Summary: Romantic suspense at its finest
Review: Lieutenant Teri Howe is a Naval rescue pilot who loves what she does but freezes whenever a man comes on to her. Stan Wolchonok is the senior chief of the SEAL Team known as Team Sixteen Troubleshooters Squad. Stan notices her immediately and though he vehemently denies it to himself, he cares for Teri a great deal. When he sees her unable to defend herself when accosted by a former lover and unable to defend himself, he subtly breaks up the battle of the sexes and takes her under his wing. He arranges, with Teri's consent, for her to be assigned to his team for an exercise in the Azores. However their flight is diverted when hijackers force a landing in Kazbekistan, holding over a hundred men, women and children hostage. Teri surprises herself by becoming emotionally involved with Stan and under wartime conditions, the pair finds a love that is strong, real and beautiful. Now, all they have to do is free the hostages without getting killed. Suzanne Brockmann has written one of the best books of her career, a novel that has action, adventure, intrigue and most of all, romance. It is the story of two lonely people who come together in the middle of a war zone and out of the ugliness comes something almost too beautiful to behold. This is a tale of finding the strength and courage to fight when common sense says flee. OVER THE EDGE takes the audience to the edge and back again. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Another Great Book
Review: This review may sound like 90% of all the other positive reviews, but stick with me, please. Suzanne has written another great SEAL Team 16 romance, with multi-couple relationships & a real-world mission plot to frame the story. (Perhaps a little too real-world, considering the attacks of September 11 & the current operations in Afghanistan.) As with "The Unsung Hero" and "The Defiant Hero," Suzanne writes a bittersweet WWII romance in memory of Holocaust survivors. Her main couple, Stan & Teri, do get to go down the happily everafter route. However, I would like to note my dismay about her choice of sexual harrassment in the military as one of Teri's problems. As a female service member myself, I get REALLY tired of people thinking that the only story for females in the military is sexual harrassment. But I digress. Suzanne's 3rd couple, Sam & Alyssa, have obviously generated the most comment, so I will follow suit. Sam & Alyssa's unhappily everafter ending in "Over the Edge" has got nearly everyone up in arms. I would like to point out that their relationship is taking time & effort to build, and the course doesn't always run smooth, sort of like real life. I appreciate seeing fictional characters struggle with problems even as they have hot sex and sensational dialog. Be warned though, this book didn't have anything as steamy as the chocolate scene from "the Defiant Hero." My gripe with Sam's decision to marry Miss Pregnant Mega-Mammaries, is that it is so old-fashioned that it sounds like he stepped straight off the pages of a Regency romance novel. Come on, we all know a marriage between Sam and Miss P M-M is not going to work while he's lusting after/loving Alyssa. In real life, we're talking divorce in 2 years, tops. Let's hope Suzanne "gets real" with this dilemma in book 4, like financial support & a parenting plan that allows Sam to participate in his child's life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to give that story another 5 star rating. A final note, a 4th relationship was forming between Max & the college student. I would prefer to see that develop in a stand alone book. Please keep the Hero series focused on the SEALs.

Summary: No lightweight
Review: Don't let this one disappointed reviewer fool you - this is another great book by Suzanne Brockmann (and by the way, I believe that we will meet Sam and Lys again in the next installment). Anyway, "Over the Edge" kept me up long after my usual bedtime and I simply could not read it fast enough. Perversely, I was also sorry to see it end. The typical dilemma one faces when reading a really thrilling and at the same time multi-layered book. It amazes me, how Ms. Brockmann managed to interlace so many different characters and story lines into one nearly perfect whole once again. Over the Edge is not a fluffy book - it covers many topics some may feel uncomfortable with. But it manages to do this in a way, that allows the reader to wholly sympathize with the characters. In the end, one simply has to cheer them for their staying power. I am definitely looking forward to the next installment of her ongoing SEAL's tale (and Ms.Brockmann, if you should read this, I would not mind meeting Max and Gina again ;-) )

Summary: Not a romance fan...
Review: I picked up Brockmann's "Into the Night" mostly judging by the first few sentences on the back cover. If I'd known it was a romance, I probably wouldn't have read it. The cover is not the traditional bodice ripping illustration, and that tends to make the book look like it's not in that genere. After I started reading the book, I was drawn in to the world Brockmann created and began to read the rest of the series from the first book. So far, "Over the Edge" stands out as the best book in the series. Although Brockmann's plots exist secondarily, in place only as background for two characters to get together, this story of the hijacked airliner really kept me turning the page to see what would happen next. The character of Max Bhagat really shines in this one. I'd like to read more about him. In many ways he is more intriguing than any of the Navy SEALS who make up the crux of this series. I could do without the World War Two stuff though. I've gotten to the point where I skim it rather than actually read that part. Brockmann's strength is in her dialogue. Dialogue is difficult to make real, and some authors never manage to get it right. In this case, the words the characters say are what make me keep coming back for more. I'm not a romance fan, and I could care less about reading love scenes, but some of the things these guys say to each other have me laughing out loud and smiling to myself whenever I think about it later. I'll keep reading Brockmann's work on the strength of her conversations between characters.

Summary: The Troubleshooters
Review: Brockmann has created a wonderful series about Navy SEALs and mangaged to add little bits of WWII history -- which also has a romantic thread. I've seen some reviews complaining about the "end" of Sam and Alyssa's story. This is *not* the end! The next book will be about Wildcard, but the book after that will be Sam and Alyssa's story, from what I've been told. I think what Brockmann is aiming for is a continuing series in the true sense of the word. Each book will stand alone, yet each one builds on the previous ones with characters and situations. Sam and Alyssa's story is a thread in a greater tapestry. Once Sam and Alyssa's story is "complete" I think there will be another story that will be a continuing thread -- hopefully for Max and Gina. Their story was introduced in Over the Edge and has a lot going against it, their age difference will be the least of their problem. This is no ordinary romance either. Lots of heavy topics are dealt with; from a hostage situation, to the Danish people protecting their Jews in WWII and a brilliant older woman's realization that her mind is going. I've been enjoying Brockmann's books for years now, and this is no exception.

Summary: Word of Warning!
Review: This is the book that got me totally addicted to all of Brockmann's SEAL team 16 books. If you have not discovered them yet you may want to consider hiring a housekeeper, babysitter, taking leave from your job etc. before reading them because you won't be able to do anything but turn pages for awhile! They are that good. Brockmann's books are in a class by themselves. The only problem is she can't write them fast enough for me! I fell in love with the character of Senior Chief Stan Wolchonok in this story.

Summary: Suzanne Brockmann's Navy Seal Team Sixteen Series
Review: I've read all of Ms. Brockmann's Navy Seal Series and they are absolutely wonderful! Her books usually have two or three different threads going in each book and the way she ties them all together is great. These Navy Seal books also give great insight as to how the Navy Seal teams work and will leave you in suspense from beginning to end. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series (hopefully more will be forthcoming)!
