Honestly, The Unsung Hero didn't really sound like my thing, but I decided to give it a try anyway. It might surprise me. Sadly, I was bored through most of it, but there was a subromance which I really enjoyed and wished had been its own story. When it starts, Tom is struggling with the implications of his head injury. He's on 30 days of leave and is desperate to get better so he can stay a SEAL. However, he sees a terrorist that was presumed dead nearly a decade ago. Or, he thinks he sees him. He's not entirely sure and that terrifies him. But what terrifies him more is if he's right and does nothing.

The Unsung Hero focuses more on everything but the romance, which was a bummer. Tom and Kelly knew each other as kids and teens, she had a crush on him, he liked her but thought she was too young. He joined the Navy and that was that. Now he's staying at her father's house while he's on leave, and she's also back while she cares for her dying father. They're in the same place at the same time, and rekindle that flame. But they don't really spend all that much time together, which I wanted to see. I did like how Kelly was the aggressor, but I didn't really feel anything between them. We're just told that they're still in love after all of these years.

Then there's all of the scenes between Kelly's father, Charles, and his best friend of 60 years, Joe. I started skipping all of that because it was soooo boring and for me, it didn't add anything to the story. It felt completely separate and just extra pages. They spend most of the time arguing about something that happened during WWII, and how Joe is going to tell that story to a reporter at the upcoming veterans' celebration. There are a lot of flashbacks to what happened to them and I didn't bother reading them. I just didn't care.

What I did really like was the romance between geeky David and Tom's niece, Mallory. I would have loooooved this as a New Adult Romance! David is working on a graphic novel and needs a female model to help him draw his main character more realistically. Mallory doesn't have the best reputation because of her mother, so she's not exactly thrilled to have this loser approach her. However, David is so sweet and sincere, and all of their scenes together are just so freaking cute! I also thought it was clever how their story ended up tying into Tom's.

As for the Suspense part of The Unsung Hero, I never really got into that until the very end. I can understand Tom thinking he saw this terrorist that he had studied for months, and having to do something about it in case people get hurt. However, I found it weird how suddenly he goes from just seeing him, to knowing that he's building a bomb and is going to set it off at that previously mentioned celebration. That was too much of a stretch for me. I did like how it all wrapped up though. It's sad, and it was kind of a weak attempt to connect Charles' and Joe's thread, but I liked it.

In the end, The Unsung Hero just wasn't my thing. The romance between Tom and Kelly was almost an afterthought and it's more of a military thriller that spans across two time periods. I'm not into war fiction, so I simply didn't care about a third of the book. However, David and Mallory almost made up for it.

The Unsung Hero Troubleshooters Book 1 Suzanne Brockmann 9780345463395 Books Reviews

When a book brings tears to my eyes more than once...five stars.

I bought THE UNSUNG HERO yesterday after reading the speech Suzanne Brockmann gave last week when Romance Writers of America honored her with its Lifetime Achievement Award. That speech was so emotionally powerful and moving, I figured her books had to be good and I was right. I just didn't know how right I was.

Strangely enough, I'd never read any of Suzanne Brockmann's books in all the years she's been writing and after all the accolades she's received. No idea how that happened, but there it is. Which means...yowza! Binge reading on the horizon!

THE UNSUNG HERO is the perfect title for this book, because it applies to so many characters within this moving story. Tom, the hero. Joe and Charles and the things they did during World War II. And so many others who quietly do what they need to do to save lives.

This isn't an action/adventure, although there is some of that. It isn't a straight romantic suspense, either, although that's in here, too. Instead, it's a slice of life that draws you into its midst. Joys, sorrows, and all the messy bits life contains. But a thread of hope runs throughout the story, weaving its way into your heart. Which means THE UNSUNG HERO will stay with me for a long time to come. And that's the hallmark of a keeper shelf book, which this one definitely is.
Suzanne Brockmann is a such a gifted writer. I’d enjoyed her other Troubleshooter books and decided to go back and read the book that started off the series. There are essentially three romances happening at the same time, interwoven to come together for the climatic ending.

Navy SEAL Tom Paoletti returns to the small town where he grew up to recover from an accident that left him in a coma for weeks. He’s still battling dizziness, and when he thinks he sees a terrorist known as the Merchant, he isn’t sure if he is going crazy and seeing things or if he needs to stop a terrorist attack. While recovering at home, he finds an old flame, Kelly Ashton, who is now a divorced pediatrician who is at home to take care of her dying father, Charles. In high school when they flirted, she was underage and thus off limits to him. He resisted back then but broke her heart when he took off for the Navy—she didn’t understand that it was her age that kept him from making a move. Now that they’re adults, they keep things strictly sexual—she doesn’t want him to break her heart again, and, if he can’t heal in the thirty days the Navy has given him, he’ll be unemployed. Plus, if he is a little crazy, that doesn’t exactly make him prime boyfriend material. Brockmann creates sex scenes that are actually sexy and not sleazy—no easy feat.

The other romance story line that I loved was between eighteen-year-old Mallory and a geeky college kid who draws comic books. Mallory had a rough childhood that gives her a tough attitude. Combined with her supersized bust, people assume things about her. David initially wanted to use her as a model for his superhero comic book, but over time, they get over their prejudices and fall for one another.

The other romance happened during WWII, when Charles and Joe Paoletti fought together and fell in love with the same woman. Charles and Joe are still friends, although they fight constantly. That story line was less interesting to me than the ones that unfolded over the course of the novel.

This book had less of the suspense than what I remembered from the other Troubleshooter books and much more romance. I missed the heavy suspense element, but this is still a fun book, and I definitely recommend the series. I’m looking forward to going through the books again, this time in order.
