Hot Target: A Novel Audiobook

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 Hot Target—which will 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 and known for carrying out covert missions too volatile for official US military action. But Richter's first case 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 emails, phone calls, and smear tactics, Chadwick won't be pressured into abandoning the project. Then the death threats come.

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. 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 middle of a personal tug-of-war with his ex-lover, and 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'll form 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.

"I absolutely loved this book!! I've read only one other Trouble Shooters book and it was All Through the Night. The love story between Jane and Cosmo was so good, and the beginnings of the love story between Jules and Robin was great too! When Robin starts to realize he could be gay, it just floors him. He really had no clue that he was gay? Everyone else seemed to get the vibe, but Robin was clueless. I couldn't put this book down on Friday and read it for hours and actually made myself sick. I tend sometimes to read too long and strain my eyes and I start to get Vertigo. I still wasn't finished with it but managed to finish it this morning. I still don't feel well and have reading to do for some classes I take so I'm kinda screwed I think! lol! I have the next book that Jules & Robin are in Force of Nature and it's killing me to not pick it up and start reading it, which I probably will do before the day is over. I liked finding out more about Adam. What a shallow character but then he would do something like help to save Robin from the shooter and he would redeem himself a little. I would love it if the author would let him find true love and heartbreak in a relationship so he would know how it feels. He hurt Jules so much, he finally needs to realize what "real love" is about. I would totally love to read that story! Cosmo and Jane just fit together so perfectly in this story. I just loved them. All in all this was just a great read and you really can read it as a stand-a-lone but I do understand how after reading this book, it would make you want to read all of them!!"
