Summary: I wasn't dissapointed!
Review: The long awaited story of Sam and Alyssa held me spellbound. I have read the reviews where a few readers were dissapointed and I can understand why, I just don't agree. I do agree that the sexual tension that was there in the previous books that S&A were in was absent, but that's all they did in the other books...have sex. In GTF, Sam and Alyssa actually got to know each other and the reader finally found out what made each person who they are today. I loved the prologue, as it was so Sam. I also loved the friendship that developed between Noah and Sam, for it had to have been hard for Sam when his father was such a racist redneck. Alyssa on the other hand was dealing with her own heartaches. I felt that Suz packed a lot of information into the book, but it wasn't overdone to me. Kelly and Tom finally got married in what I felt was a very fitting way. ML sure made a 180 with her feelings of anyone 'non-white'. The only thing that endeared her to me was her love for Haley. And we finally got Max's POV. I think he will be a very interesting character, for the facade he shows to the world is just that. Overall, I was very impressed and satisfied with the end of the book. Sure I would have loved for it to go on and on, but books end right!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I felt the plot was not good and it kept going back and forth. It was hard to follow. I probalby will not read one of hers again. I also did not like the language in it. I don't know why writers feel they have to use bad language to make a book. I was offended.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I've thoroughly enjoyed all of Brockmann's previous books, but this novel was a disappointment. Several elements of the novel are unbelievable, particularly Sam's worry over his missing daughter. He seems much more concerned about reviving his relationship with Alyssa than about finding his ex-wife and baby girl. I had trouble feeling sympathy for Sam because he spends more time thinking about having sex with Alyssa than he does thinking about what could be happening to his baby girl. In fact, Alyssa, who has never even seen the child, seems more concerned about Haley than Sam does.
When Mary Lou is finally found, she has found a job that is really far-fetched. Who hires a woman with no references to be an au pair to a teenage girl who just happens to be a crack shot?
The conclusion of the novel felt rushed. After following their story through two novels, I really wanted some closure for Sam and Mary Lou. Except for a brief exchange during the climax, they never have a significant conversation. Frankly, Brockmann juggles too many storylines.
Finally, if you've never read a Brockmann novel before, don't start with this one.

Summary: Brockmann is Back!
Review: I am not going to bore you with a synopsis of the book. Instead I am going to tell you why you have to own this title. I have been a Suz Brockmann fan from WAY back in the 'Loveswept' days and own almost everything ever published (darn Loveswept for making Ladies Man a subscriber exclusive). The last two books by Suz have been just sorta 'ok' and honestly, I was ready for her to make a change from the SEAL line, but this book has brought me back hoping for more stories from the guys of Team 16 and the 'new business' (you have to read the book to know what I am talking about). Typically Suz's full length novels are a little overcrowded with simultaneous story lines and frankly, the WWII stories had dragged most of the other books in this series down for me. But this novel has it all: a great Hero and Heroine, fast pacing, excellently interwoven sub-plots and a touching WWII story that fits nicely with the rest of the book. Now, I will say that if you are sensitive to cursing this might not be the book for you, because there is A LOT of cursing. You can't help but root for Sam and Alyssa and their journey is not an easy one. Mary Lou fans will be pleased as well. The story had me laughing and even crying a little. You won't be able to put it down and it is worth the hardcover rate. Don't pay attention to the Kirkus Review. Obviously they only skimmed the story because some of what they said is not close to the mark. I checked out their website and it seems sarcastic reviews are their stock and trade. Way to go, Suz! Please write faster!!!!

Summary: A Clever and Fun Read
Review: This was my first Suzanne Brockmann novel and it was a good one. I like how she gave you the backround story of Alyssa and Sam. Even with his language you felt for the guy and laughed at his thoughts and actions. I thought the end came about rather quickly with everything wrapping up in a neat bow. However, it was a very good book

Summary: Absolutely Worth the Wait!
Review: I have enjoyed the Sam and Alyssa storyline although I was not quite at the level of fan intensity that I've seen around the 'net--particularly after Into the Night, where Sam came off looking SO bad, I wondered how he could be redeemed. I was very pleased with the resolution of the whole storyline in GONE TOO FAR. Moreover the suspense aspect had me literally unable to put this book down til I finished it. One warning, if you are NOT a fan of the extended-over-several-books-relationship-buildup, another arc begins in this book that will be going for several, so if Sam & Alyssa had you in despair, there's more of the same coming. But I'll be there!

Summary: Not what was expected! But, still a must read story!!
Review: As an answer to the reviewer who did not get what she expected, I share some of her thoughts. The usual suspense, drama and sparks really are not in this book. It almost does not qualify as a romance. But, for Suzanne Brockmann fans and fans of this series, this is a must read book. It does put an end to a lot of story lines. Also, it was very interesting looking in to Sam's background and reading the story of his up bringing.
As far as romances goes, it was sort of dull (except for Max and Gina). This book is well worth the money.

Summary: 5 ++ stars
Review: I would give this book more than 5 stars if possible. I have been a devoted fan of this series and actually started reading Gone Too Far with a lot of unease...knowing this was probably the last since it was Sam and Alyssa's book. True to form I was glued from cover to cover biting my nails the entire way. As one that actually did not dislike Mary Lou (yes, she had a lot of problems...but then didn't Sam??!), I was glad to see her return and find out what happened to Ihbraham. Lots of loose ends were tied neatly up from Into the Night (not the best in the series but necessary to fully LOVE Gone Too Far).
Again...5++ stars from a devoted Suz fan!

Summary: A great book but a little bit of a let down
Review: I'm not sure if it's because I was waiting so anxiously for this book that I felt let down or if it was because it just wasn't as good as the other books in this series. I have been waiting for Sam and Alyssa to get back together and I was so ready for this book! Don't get me wrong, it's another great story by Suzanne Brockmann but I felt like Sam should have had to work for Alyssa a bit more after how badly he had hurt her in the previous books.Plus Mary Lou could have stood on her head and sang the Star Spangle Banner and I'd still hate her. But all in all this book is another great story in Ms. Brockmann's Seal Series and well worth the $$.

Summary: After a long wait...disappointed
Review: I have been waiting for the story of Sam and Alyssa for 2 years! The glimpses of their relationship have been some of the best parts of SB's other books and finally, she wrote their story. I was so disappointed. Sam's character suddenly turned so sensitive that he wasn't recognizable and the "Ringo" storyline was boring. I would have been happy to wait longer for this book to be published, in return for a solid story. Every loose end was so conveniently tied up, it became tedious! Right down to Mary Lou gushing "I'm getting married too!". I am a big Suzanne Brockmann fan. My favorites are Over The Edge and Into the Night - probably because of the foreplay to Sam and Alyssa's relationship! I wish that SB had taken more time to write this book - it had the potential to be fantastic.
