The Unsung Hero

Troubleshooters, Book 1

By: Suzanne Brockmann

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank

Suzanne Brockmann's wildly popular Troubleshooters series showcases this master storyteller's rare gift for blending intense adventure with sensuous romance. And it all begins with The Unsung Hero, a heart-pounding tale of love that reveals hidden truths and brings two solitary people together against all odds.

After a near-fatal head injury, Navy SEAL lieutenant Tom Paoletti catches a glimpse of an international terrorist in his New England hometown. When he calls for help, the Navy dismisses the sighting as injury-induced imaginings. In a last-ditch effort to prevent disaster, Tom creates his own makeshift counterterrorism team, assembling his most loyal officers, two elderly war veterans, a couple of misfit teenagers, and Dr. Kelly Ashton. As the town's infamous bad boy, Tom was always in love with Kelly, a sweet "girl next door" who has grown into a remarkable woman. Now he has one final chance for happiness, one last chance to win her heart, and one desperate chance to save the day.

The book was great. Audiobook, not so much.

The male narrator ruined the audio book. He does not have the voice of a SEAL. Just No. I won't be purchasing any of this series of books with that narrator.

Rockin' narrator's!

I love listening to these narrator's and this series!, wish I had them all! I love finding a good voice to read my books, I wish these guys read them all! Great Job! !

3 interconnected stories in 1 book.

I read this series a long time ago and listening to it this time around was just as good, although I couldn’t remember if the book was written before or after 9/11. Which it was written before, just barely, so it gives a very small amount of perspective to the military life before 9/11 happened. Things have changed a lot since this book was written, but not so much that you can’t still enjoy the story. More than one story in this book, my favorite part is with the father’s flashbacks in France. I have read all of the Troubleshooter books, and they only get better as the story progresses, unfortunately she drops the flashback storylines about book 6. Narrators are decent, but not great.

I gave this a three because I just dont know for s

What did you like best about The Unsung Hero? What did you like least?

How are you going to have a male and female narrator and have the woman do girl and boy voices? The man also does both girl and boy voices. This was poorly executed. I abandoned this book in the early stages due to the confusion. Please don't ever do that again, audible.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I don't know. Couldn't get through it due to annoying narrator confusion.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank ?

Their voices were fine, but a little arrangement management will solve the glaring problem of continuity.

Male reader is much better.

The female narrator takes odd pauses and doesn't seem to add much to the story. I truly enjoyed listening to the male narrator, even when he was reading female parts of the story.

love!

Stop reading this...buy this book and the entire series...you're welcome. Buy everything from this author!!!

troubleshooter

if you love romance and action this is the book for you. little bit of History and suspense.

1st book read by Suzanne Brockmann

I don't usually want to or like to read romance novels. I was more interested in the military & suspense of it for most of the story. How ever, once the main characters got involved in the plot of the story, I was sucked in and what can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart.

Love the Troubleshooter series!

Love all the adventure & romance. Keeps you on your the edge of your seat in anticipation of what will happen next.

Why did they change the narration on me after purchasing?

When the books in the series had to use an accent, they had different narrators. Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank do not do accents well. The audio books I purchased had different narrators. How can they change them after I already bought them? I revisited the series and I can’t get through the first 2 books. The series itself is wonderfully written. Such a shame.
