Lists with This Book. A wonderful book with a wonderful h. I just loved everything coming out of her mouth. But surprisingly they hit it off - as friends. She invites him to stay at her place because of some credit card snafu. I like how these two connect so quickly and believably - as friends. They talk and share things with each other which they have never done with anyone else. Then their attraction gets out of hand and they get down to brass tacks.

Soon complications start to pop out left, right and centre. Everything merges and the h comes face to face with the ow, who as it turns out is a nice person. As I said the h. The H is great too. The chemistry is great. What could be more special? I was so sure and was mentally tapping my foot and waiting for a resolution of the ow's future but then nothing, nada! And headed towards a customary mystery-romance ending. Or maybe because the first half is so special and outstanding that it could only seem this way.

But when you fall in love and know he loves someone else?

Or especially after you meet this paragon and even like her? View all 3 comments. Of course then theres the romance and Brockmann will get you every time especially when her tough guys cry, and they almost always do. One that included all the guys together and some reflection like say a wedding giving me a sort of closure. As it was she even introduced new characters and then it just well…ended like all the other books.

I was like now what? Wes Skelly is on leave in LA. Britt is different then any woman Wes has ever met and for some reason he finds himself opening up to her and relaxing. Still with all the baggage Wes is a very likable guy. I loved watching him open up and realize that he was worth much more then unrequited love. The inner dialogue is again very good as are the love scenes and I enjoyed the fact that these two became friends before the lust hit.

With a cute sub plot involving a spoiled TV starlet, a crazed stalker and a surprising death, this had just about everything I could ask for until I realized it was the last one. Thanks boys, stay safe! View all 14 comments. I loved Wes Skelly through the whole series. He is not tall dark and handsome but more average looking while still being tough. But mostly I like him because he is not perfect. He has a smoking problem and a drinking problem and loves an unavailable woman.

But he is a good man. He meets a new woman and falls in love with her and lets himself be happy after years of relationship pain. The way he cares for the heroine is very touching. The bad guy is creepy and the final climatic scene is very tense and well written. The heroine is good too.

A Conversation With Suzanne Brockmann

She is the sister of the heroine of another book in the series and didn't seem like a romantic lead at first but Brockmann pulls it off. View all 8 comments. Jun 04, CaliGirlRae rated it it was amazing Shelves: It was always Wes and Bobby but since Bobby is taken, Wes sort of felt like he was on his own and we couldn't have that.

Although this time around, I liked the character drama rather than the suspense. Wes is an unlikely hero. He's a recovering alcoholic, he's not very tall and huge, he has the mouth of a sailor and doesn't really like commitment but he still works as a hero and a yummy one at that.

I loved Brittany's character here because she was no nonsense and strong without being overbearing. They were perfect for each other and it was great to see Wes get those skeletons out of his closet with Brittany. As always, I'm loving the Brockmann sexual tension because it sneaks up on you! I need to get to know who they are as people before seeing them intimately like any other people. Brockmann does this well with her intros.

She is set up on a blind date with a friend of her brother-in-law. She isn't expecting much because she had been burned before. Her ex was a liar and cheater and she isn't thinking that there is another man for her. But she I enjoyed this 11 in the Tall Dark and Dangerous series. But she is willing to have a date to enjoy her night with someone, knowing that it won't be going anywhere.

Wes Skelly is a Navy Seal and a man biding his time, waiting for the woman that he loves to finally wake up and see that her husband is cheating on her. He has been in love with one of the other Seal's wife for years, but hasn't acted on his feelings. But he hasn't told her what is going on either. So, to help out a friend he is set up on a date with the sister of another Seal's wife. He has met her before, but there wasn't much to that first meeting, but what the heck, he'll give it a try and spend some time with a pretty woman. Wes finds that Brittany is a careing and supportive Mother.

That is something that he didn't get a lot of at home when he was her son's age. She is also funny and fun. They spend a nice evening together and he ends up spending the night at her apartment after a Credit Card problem. As he gets to know her more and gets to know her son he has a lot of respect for her. And as the story progress's she becomes more and more attractive to him. Wes is not what Brittany thought he would be. He is much shorter and smaller than she thought he would be.

But he is a lot of fun and they get along really well. She likes the way that he interacts with her son Andy, and Andy seems to like and trust him right away. As the progress's Britttany and Wes become close friends and find themselves growing more and more attracted to each other. When Andy goes off on a trip with his team they find they can't fight the attraction any longer and start a romantic fling. Both of them feel that the relationship will have to end eventually, but though they won't admit it to each other they are finding it harder and harder to not fall in love.

When Brittany is held by a crazed stalker Wes will do anything he needs to to save her and in the end admits his feelings to himself and to her. This is a sweet and fun story that is an easy read. I give this one 4 out of 5 stars. That was how Britt had started thinking of her. Lana-the-Bitch had a husband who was nicknamed Wizard. Lana-the-Bitch knew Wizard-the-Loser was unfaithful, but instead of dumping the chump, she instead boosted her self-esteem by telling another man—Wes—to jump through hoops for her. Apr 27, Lisa - Aussie Girl rated it really liked it Shelves: The last book in the earlier Suzanne Brockmann Alpha Team Ten series - a simpler, sweet story to finish off.

Pleasant contemporary romance with some suspense. I enjoyed the interesting characters. Brittany is divorced and a nurse. Six years ago she adopted thirteen-year-old Andy who is now attending college on a baseball scholarship.

Welcome to the World of R.L. Mathewson

They have a great, close relationship. Circumstances keep Wes and Brittany together for several days and they develop a really nice close friendship-relationship. Wes has been secretly in love wi Pleasant contemporary romance with some suspense. Wes has been secretly in love with Lana for years. Lana is married to another SEAL.

Lana asks Wes to help her sister Amber who is being stalked. This was a good way to see the relationship develop. That is a crutch when people speak, but writing can eliminate it. I loved one part about Wes going to college. Brittany suggested he live on campus in a dorm with other students. He said he spent his life living with others when he had no family. The characters were interesting and likeable. The suspense involved a stalker. It was a small part of the story, but it was good.

Most of the story is the romantic relationship. This is book 11 in the series. Other SEALs and their wives are brought into the story for small parts from time to time. I assume their stories were told in previous books. This book is shorter than a typical novel. The narrator Gayle Hendrix was very good.

Unabridged audiobook reading time: Number of sex scenes: Jan 18, Vintage rated it really liked it Shelves: I have read several of the Suzanne Brockmann series, and this may be one of her best that I've read so far. Wes is a nicely tortured hero within normal bounds. Like Goldilocks' porridge, he's not too tortured, not too Alpha.

He's struggling with something from his past that the heroine, Brittany, helps him work through.

Night Watch (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, #11) by Suzanne Brockmann

Brittany is a very realistic heroine, maybe in touch with her feelings a little more than is realistic, but she's a girl you want in your cor this one is a keeper. Brittany is a very realistic heroine, maybe in touch with her feelings a little more than is realistic, but she's a girl you want in your corner in any way. Her sister Melody is the star of Everyday, Average Jones , but is minimally in the story. Brittany is much more spunky heroine who manages to avoid some if not all of some of the stupid decisions romance heroines often make.

The allure of this story is it is a romance that grows from their physical attraction in a realistic way. Wes is an emotional heart-broken man in many respects, and heck if the love and sex of a feisty woman doesn't help heal him. OK, I actually teared up in one epiphany scene.

Toss in two subplots that don't get in the way too much and you have a nice afternoon of reading. Plenty of romance genres staples steamy love scenes, a few misunderstandings, snappy dialogue, a two separate sub-plots without falling too far down the cliche hole. Aug 06, Storm rated it really liked it. I did not like Wes until this book. In fact, I didn't know that this book was about Wes and that was the only reason I started it. In other books Wes is the character you just want to hit on the back of the head.

He smokes, he swears, he's not tall and he seems like he has a short-man complex. He was all that in this book but way more adorable. His novels still took place in Los Angeles.

In , another Bosch novel, Lost Light , was published. While writing he listens exclusively to instrumental jazz, though, because it does not have intrusive vocals, and because the improvisational playing inspires his writing. Michael Connelly's Los Angeles , in which film Connelly presents some of the places in Los Angeles that are frequently featured in his books.

The Closers , published in May , was the 11th Bosch novel. The book was made into a film in , starring Matthew McConaughey as Haller. After releasing Crime Beat , a non-fiction book about Connelly's experiences as a crime reporter, Connelly went back to Bosch with Echo Park After some editing, it was published as a novel in The Haller novel The Fifth Witness was published in The next Bosch novel was The Black Box Connelly's subsequent novel, a legal thriller, was a return to Haller: The Gods of Guilt When starting a book, the story is not always clear, but Connelly has a hunch where it is going.

Even events that might not be considered as world-changing are included in some of the books, because they are of personal interest to Connelly. For example, in City of Bones , Detective Bosch investigates the murder of an year-old boy. This was written during Connelly's early years as a father of a daughter, and it hit close to home. According to Connelly, he didn't mean to write about the biggest fear of his life; it just came out that way.

Detective Bosch's life usually changes in harmony with Connelly's own life. When Connelly moved 3, miles across the country from Florida , Bosch had some life-changing experiences that sent him in a new direction in the book written at that time, City of Bones. According to Connelly, his "real" job is to write about Bosch, [26] and his purpose in bringing McCaleb and Bosch together in A Darkness More Than Night was to use McCaleb as a tool to look at Bosch from another perspective and keep the character interesting.

Every character in the list below, with one exception, has appeared in a Harry Bosch book.
