My take in brief: I did like it, but it felt a bit slow, and I felt the juggling of three romances detracted from all of them. However, I think I just tried the wrong one by this author, and I have already bought another Brockmann.
Series: Yes. Published in 2000, it is the first of Brockmann’s phenomenally successful Toubleshooters Series, the 13th of which was released this year.
Heroine and Hero: Pediatrician Dr. Kelly Ashton, divorced, commuting from work in Boston to the Baldwin’s Bridge to take care of her dying father, Charles Ashton, wealthy patrician WWII vet. Navy SEAL Tom Paoletti, recuperating from a head injury at his uncle Joe Paoletti’s house, next door to the Ashton residence. Uncle Joe, a landscaper, served with Charles in WWII and they have been friends ever since.
