Finished The Unsung Hero by Suzanne Brockmann. It’s the first book in her popular “Troubleshooter” series about U.S. Seals. I got a booklet on the series at the RWA conference this year, so I thought I would check it out.

It’s about Tom Paoletti, a Navy SEAL lieutenant who goes back to his hometown to rest after a severe head injury. Naturally, Dr. Kelly Ashton, the girl he’s always loved, just happens to be in town at the same time …

Overall, a good read. I knew how it was going to end the second I learned that one of the characters had terminal cancer. But Brockmann still made me sniffle a little in the end. My only quibble is that she saved most of the action for the last 10 pages of the book. I would have liked a little more focus on the current military/terrorist hunt and a little less on the war memories of two older characters.

But, if you like a pretty even mix of romance and military action, then you’d probably like this book.
