Flashpoint, I finished listening to a little while ago, and just remembered that I hadn't written the review, so I thought that I should do that while I still remember impressions that I had on this one. Flashpoint is a bit different as in none of the main characters are SEAL team members. Will Jimmy and Tess having both worked for a black op division for the government, they are more alive than either of them realize. Tess is a whiz with hacking and anything electrical and computerized, and is more than ecstatic at this mission, however despite her deep feelings for Jimmy, she knows having to pose as his wife will be more challenging than she ever would realize, for she is in love with a man that has a but load of secrets, that could never share them with her. So now they they are both put in the Terrorist Hot Spot they come to realize how much they truly care for each other. Flashpoint, is a intense and thrilling read, full of romance and passion with all the danger and suspense that Brockmann puts in her exciting novels. Definitely one you don't want to miss out on, and this author definitely delivers with Flashpoint!!!

I know this wasn't supposed to be a romance between Nash and Decker, but like, whoa. "Bromance" isn't my favorite word, but they spent each spent a *lot* of time thinking about how wonderful the other one is.

Aside from that: an enjoyable read, and it's interesting to see the beginnings of TS Inc coming together (since I'm reading the series out of order, mostly). This introduces a whole slew of new characters who'll get stories later on, which is always fun, and I love that the world is built out enough that even though the SEALs have only the briefest of cameos, and almost none of their names are said, it's so clearly Mike, Stan, and Jay (plus a couple of others) on the helicopter at the end.
