Navy SEAL Frank O’Leary’s ill-fated holiday reunion with his older brother takes a turn for the better—when a chance encounter on a rainy New Orleans street gives Frank a reason to be thankful after all.

Looking for the best kind of trouble? You’ve found it!
Ok, this definitely shouldn’t be read as a standalone but I thought what the hell -I’d wanted to read this series so decided to start with a collection of stories set in the world of the Troubleshooters. And I have to say that I’m really glad I did, although I’m pretty sure my bank balance isn’t!
I really enjoyed the insights in to the characters lives, and although I had no basis on which to understand how they came together or what had happened to them in the past, I felt like I could connect to them and for me to get so emotionally involved in their stories in such a short space of time just proves to me that the characters within the series as a whole must be very well written – I cried! I’m not an overly emotional person (well at least I like to think I’m not) and yet a story that I had no prior knowledge about made me cry. That was probably the point I realised I had a lot of reading in my future starting with The Unsung Hero that was already sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me.
I did find the character interviews a bit confusing but I am sure had I have read the previous books in the series I would have known who everyone was and understood their interactions better.
Overall this was an extremely well written anthology that has encouraged me to start the series from scratch as I want to know more about the Troubleshooters.
