Not my favorite of the Troubleshooter series but interesting in that there are no real happy endings here except that the two kidnapped women are rescued in the end.
Troubleshooters are summoned to the East Coast to help protect a woman, running for Senate, who has been receiving death threats. There is also included a cop with an attitude and Danny Gillman hooking up with "the ugly friend." I do like that Brockmann has unconventional romances and in this book she concentrates on a type of woman who isn't usually the heroine in romance novels. A little overweight, she's not at all beautiful and Gillman picks her because she'll be easy to get into bed and she won't be upset when he leaves, because she'll be expecting it. Not a sympathetic character, is Gillman, but true to life. I liked Jenny and, while Danny isn't a very nice person, we do get to see some of why he is the way he is.
