Breaking the Rules

Starred review from February 28, 2011
In the powerful 16th Troubleshooter title, Brockman (Infamous) masterfully weaves the stories of the four Gillman siblings into a single narrative that reaffirms the importance of family. Ben, the youngest, asks Danny and Eden to come to Las Vegas and rescue him from their stepfather. Ben befriends Neesha, a teen running away from years of imprisonment in a brothel, as Eden struggles to prove she's not as messed up as Danny thinks she is. Eden is also dodging her estranged husband, Izzy, who served in the Navy with Danny; he and Danny's fabulous girlfriend, Jennilyn, are rare voices of sanity as the Gillmans try to forget the past and learn to get along while saving Ben and Neesha from their pursuers. The slowly rekindled attraction between Izzy and Eden is steamy, and Jennilyn is a rock for Danny, giving romance fans two delightful relationships for the price of one.

Navy SEAL Izzy Zanella and wife Eden Gillman are estranged and barely civil, but they agree to reconcile so that they can obtain custody of Eden's little brother. Two-time RITA Award winner Brockmann has nearly six million books in print, lots of New York Times best sellers, and two more books under contract with Ballantine. Can't miss; consider multiples.
