Review: Troubleshooters Series #9: Breaking Point

Ever since Suzanne Brockmann's third book of the series Over the Edge, I've been waiting and hoping for this book.

Synopsis:
Max Bhagat, FBI commander, pushes himself to the limit and puts nothing ahead of his work, including his feelings for Gina Vitagliano. Having met Gina many years ago when Max served as negotiator as Gina was held hostage on a plane, Max has buried his attraction to her. Not to mention he's about 20 years her senior. But when Max receives the shocking news of Gina's death, there's no question that he will investigate her death himself. As he arrives to the scene of Gina's death, Max discovers that Gina is still alive and proceeds to do everything in his power to find her.

Gina is in Southeast Asia with Molly Anderson, who we met in Out of Control, Book 4. She's with Molly in the same little village working as a relief worker. Gina and Molly soon both find themselves being used as bait in a deadly trap against Grady Morant, a.k.a "Jones", whom Molly loves.

Max and Jones find each other and team up, with FBI agent Jules Cassidy as their only backup, in an attempt to make a deal with the devil and get Gina and Molly back.

My Response:
Wow, I liked this book. There's something about Max that I've always loved. He's always on top of his game, never looking ruffled and never breaking a sweat. It was great to see Max become a little more human and finally confront rather than run from his feelings. Gina is a strong young woman who has always known what and who she's wanted.

And again, we have more Jules helping to save the day. He's a great character!
