Summary: Oh its finally here
Review: It seems like a lifetime ago that we met Sam and Alyssa. Through several books we watched their ups and downs. Now in Gone Too Far they get their story. Its is well worth the wait. Sam Starrett is on his way to see his soon to be ex-wife and young daughter. What he finds at her house is horrific. It sets off a chain of events that rocks Team 16. Alyssa Locke gets dragged back into Sam's world. She realizes that she is his only hope to clearing his name and finding his daughter.

The resolution of Sam and Alyssa's story has everything you want in a book. I can't recommend it enough, hurry and get this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good if you have read some of the other in series
Review: This was an excellent book but I could see it being very confusing for people that have never read any of the other SEAL 16 books. Brockmann's way of writing is to intertwine a few story lines and jump around. I enjoy that kind of writing but some find it confusing. All of her stories cover all the bases of tears, laughter and emotion. The characters are interesting and you really love them. That said, I would not recommend this book to anyone that hasn't read the whole series or at least following books:
1. The Unsung Hero
2. Over the Edge
3. Into the Night
If you have read these books, the story is much more easy to follow and well worth the wait. I personally loved "The Unsung Hero" and Over the Edge but "Into the Night" was a little slow but it is definitely a part one to "Gone to Far". I just found Suzanne Brockmann's books and really love how she works a story. Hope you do too!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: real men cry, yeah, we get it
Review: I enjoy Brockman's stories, and I'll continue to follow this series, but I'm not sure this was the best book for her jump to hardcover. A more self-contained relationship might have been a better choice, rather than the culmination of the Sam and Alyssa story arc, which has stretched over all the previous books. The WWII romance was definitely toned down in this one, in deference to all the backstory needed to make Sam/Alyssa and Max/Gina make sense to new readers.

I have two fairly minor beefs - first, is it just me or did all this background stuff about Sam and his dad and his aunt and uncle and Noah and whatnot spring from absolutely nowhere? Were there hints of this stuff in previous books that I just missed?

Second, I really didn't think anyone could cry more than Wildcard did in Out of Control, but Sam managed it. Heck, even MAX cried a time or two. Now, I'll admit my little heart melts at the thought of a big, strong, SEAL-type moved to tears, but it's getting kind of overworked.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gone Too Far
Review: I loved it. The two main characters were the main reason,plus the surprise twist about his ex-wife. I looked forward to the book and was not disappointed in the cost or the book. My husband also liked it, so two thumbs up from us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally
Review: This was the book we have waited for long time, finally Sam and Alisa reunited again. Thanks.
The only problem I had, we do understand a lot about him, and his past, very little finally about her. But the series are not finished, I hope.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is about time!
Review: I have been a devote follower of the Suzanne Brockmann Team 16 series since "The Unsung Hero" and I just have to say FINALLY Sam and Alyssa's story. I picked this up and within 5 hours had read the whole book. I laughed, and yes, I cried. I don't know if I would say that this is my favorite book, that would probably be "Out of Control" but it was definitely good. I am so happy that Sam and Alyssa finally worked everything out and anticipation does make it better! I did miss the normal action and steamy love scenes of her past books, but I still definitely enjoyed this one. The WWII storyline was so brief that the book would have been fine without it. Are Max and Gina going to get a book? That would be cool. I haven't heard anything about any future books within this series, and honestly don't know who they would contain unless it was Max and Gina. Anyways, definitely a wonderful book, I love Suzanne Brockmann and LOVE Navy Seals!!!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too drawn out
Review: I was very very disappointed in this book, after eagerly awaiting it. It was too long, with too many story lines. It could have been made into a 200 page book. No sizzle and spark like the other books in this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good as the others!!!!
Review: I could not wait for this book so when I read it I wanted to read it as slow as possible so I could savor it and for the first few days I managed too. But of course it didn't last long. I got hooked and didn't want to stop reading it. Although the Sam and Alyssa story wasn't my favorite. I thought the book as a whole was incredible. Suzanne Brockmann is an incredible writer. I would not have changed one thing about the story and now must wait for the next one, which I hope will be Max and Gina. Until then I must dream of Max instead of read about him.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I am a huge fan of Suzanne Brockmann, but this book was not her usual suspense, drama and romance. I agree with readers from Watkinsville and Medina. In the beginning Sam was more worried about getting Alyssa back than his daughter. Also, Sam's character was so super sensitive and so unlike the Sam in the other books that his character wasn't Sam at all, but Ringo. There was very little suspense with Sam and Alyssa in this book, no shockers at all. There wasn't much SEAL action either. The only real action was at the end, which as one reviewer mentioned was tied up as neat as a bow. I have never been able to put any of Brockmann's books down until completely read. However, I had to make myself finish this book because it was so boring. I gave it two stars only because of Max and Gina.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Brockmann can do better
Review: After anticipating the conclusion to the Sam and Alyssa story for the last five Seal Team 16 books, I was sorely disappointed in this book. There were too many story lines introduced that interfered with the flow of the main story. Only about 40 percent of the book were devoted to the main characters, very little of which is spent on romance or even true character building. Ms. Brockmann seems to have been more concerned with setting up her newest story line (a civilian, covert agency) than giving her readers what they have been expecting. The ending or HEA for these two characters was very rushed and not supported by the action in this book. After her dismal efforts in Into the Night, this is a second strike for Brockmann.
