Book Review: All Through the Night by Suzanne Brockmann

All Through the Night
by Suzanne Brockmann

Ignore the fact that this is Book #12 in the 20+ books in the Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann. All of her books end happily so it’s not a spoiler that the couples you’ll meet in this book are together. This was a New York Times best-selling hardcover book and is known as “the wedding” book in this series.

The Troubleshooters series started out as SEAL teams, and we follow them throughout the books as they go on their missions and conduct their personal lives. We also meet the FBI agents who frequently work alongside them on special missions. Some of the SEALs retire and form their own security organization (The Troubleshooters), yet are so highly regarded that they frequently work with the current SEALs and FBI agents on sensitive government missions. Pretty handy so we get to continue following some of our favorite characters. Each book showcases one or more of the couples as they meet and work through their relationship while we’re dealing with the current mystery or villain.

If you are looking for a romance series of alpha men who rescue damsels in distress, this is not the series for you (instead try another military romance series the KGI series by Maya Banks, first book “The Darkest Hour”). The characters in the Troubleshooter series are white, people of color, straight, gay, men, and women who are working as capable, funny, smart people in our military and government.

This particular book, “All Through the Night,” is one of my favorites of this series and tells of the engagement and wedding of FBI agent Jules Cassidy to action-movie hero Robin Chadwick. The whole gang appears in this book, plus a new side-story arc of another couple. Plus a stalker. Plus Jules gets called away unexpectedly on a mission and might not return. You’ll get a feel for the series in general and the family these characters have created among themselves.

This was the first book I read in this series and I got a tad confused with all the characters and how they are related. But I was so impressed with the storyline, Brockmann’s humor, and the people she’d created that I went back and began at Book #01 (“The Unsung Hero”) and read them all in order.

I highly recommend this well-written, humorous, contemporary romance story of two characters you’ll like immensely.
