There's a strong pattern of dullness and repetition with Stone B0rrington. This read requires a complete waste of your time. 0 of 10 stars

Holly Barker wins the Presidential election, and decides to hide out with Stone Barrington along with a skeletal Secret Service staff before she is inaugurated. There is a determined right-wing fanatic, who wants to prevent her from assuming office. Several attempts are made on her life, which are thwarted due to mostly luck and circumstances, but also because there are moles in the Colonel's camp. I liked the part where Holly (and readers) meet her double and everyone is figuring out how to avoid getting her killed as a lure for the Colonel's assassin. If you enjoy this cast of characters, this one is survivable, partially because the books are easy to read, even if they do rot your brain.
P.S. It's high time for Stuart Woods to surprise readers again with a good story.

I am a fan of the Stone Barrington series. I’m willing to suspend disbelief and enjoy the adventures, however unlikely. During this time of Covid, this was a great read to take my mind off the problems. This was just a fun romp with characters that are old friends.
Some of these books are better than others and this was a good Barrington read. With his girlfriend, Holly Barker as president elect, the predictable mayhem follows. Though the plot line can be expected, it takes the reader through the machinations of an ultra- right wing group, which doesn’t sound as far fetched as it might have years ago.
So, enjoy and relax with Stone and his Possee.

I suspected a DNF fate for this ridiculous book after five chapters. The same old, boring plot as previous books in this series. Product placement, food, liquor, security systems, houses, planes, sex and mind numbing chase senarios are the only props the author seems to know for a plot. When the first woman POTUS had an appointment with Ralph Lauren to pick out a new decor for the White House and a new wardrobe, I had reached my DNF threshold. This author is among the most prolific of fiction writers because of the poor quality of his novels. Why in the world does the publisher keep accepting this author‘s awful books? Don’t their reputation as a publisher mean anything to them?

Holy crap! This book was not the best Stuart Woods novel I ever read! I usually enjoy reading Stone Barrington novels, but this one was boring! I didn't even read the end I was so bored. I hope I don't have to stop reading S.B. I really do like the character, but this one did not have enough pizzaz to keep me reading to the end. Disappointing.

Ha HAAA! Stone Barrington's plot keeps getting more ridiculous as the series progress. In this one Stone's long time fling became President-elect. While waiting for her inauguration ceremony she escaped multiple assassination attempts. Lucky for her Stone has tremendous resources to keep her safe! There are new characters, wonder if they will be new recurring cast?

Gone are the days of Stone Barrington's extremely clever plots and devious actions which kept us readers in suspense. Currently, his greatest plot seems to be how many Knob Creek drinks and how much sex can he have on any given day. I think they should reclassify the Barrington series genre from thriller to romance. (And a bad one at that). I recommend passing on this book and any future books in this series.

First of all the cover of this book that has a boat in the middle of a storm has nothing to do with this book.
There is barely a story. The most interesting thing happens in the first 5 pages of this book. And you don't have to be a genius to realize that the leak is from the inside. And then nothing happens for the entire book until the end. But by the time you get to the end (if you get there) one is so bored that one doesn't care what happens.

Amazingly, Barrington only slept with one woman through the entire book!
It’s stretches the imagination that the United Secret Service would take direction from Stone Barrington. That he would suggest ways to protect the President-elect and the USSS has never had that thought before? It just stretches all imagination. It was nice to have the storyline focus on other characters than SB, though.

I always start by saying that I have been from the beginning a big Stone Barrington fan but many of the most recent books have been horrible. It’s probably time for the author to hang it up on this series. Like I mentioned before, Stone Barrington has to be in his 70s by now. I know I have to relax a little bit because it is not a serious book but it has become a very bad soap opera type. And this one, it started out real bad but I do have to say since I have nothing else to do today the middle to the end I was into it like you get into an upper be rated movie. I think this was summit all up from the first couple of chapters when they were in Maine and the next day after all those Secret Service people were murdered, Stone Barrington mentioned to Dino and others that he was feeling bad because he believes that Holly seems to be depressed about the murdered Secret Service. I just have to say “duh“!!! That is how dumb this series is becoming. I mention on the last book, I wish they would’ve kept Holly Barker in her own series along with Kate and Will Lee.

US President-elect Holly Barker is targeted by a right wing white supremacist group of ex-military people. But she has Stone Barrington's acumen and huge network at her disposal to evade the threats. The FBI also has a mole in the group. And it seems that there's another double agent inserted into the group... Who is that and will Stone be able to prevent any further attacks on the President-elect?

Haven't read a Stone Barrington book in years. Will definitely have to change that. Enjoyed this one, and lots of stuff has changed.

Although this Stone Barrington offering may really deserve the faint praise of 1-1/2 stars, I gave it 2, because it was so much better than the last - again very faint praise.
August 14, 2020
A lot of new characters in this book. The more I read, the more I thought a new series was in the offing.
August 13, 2020
When I first started this book, I was worried they were going to somehow, put the whole book on a small boat in the ocean. I wasn't looking forward to that at all.
Instead, it's a roller coaster ride, picking up with Holly just winning the election and her time as the President-Elect. There's a plot against her, of course, and she and Stone have to rely on a team to keep her alive across several attacks.
If you've read the other books in the series, then you'll want to read this one. It's a pretty good addition to the series. I was pleased, and I hope the next one comes as soon as possible.
I have the week off from work, so I read this all in one sitting.

Stuart Woods never fails me. No matter how depressing the world is, e manages to tell me a crime fantasy with beautiful women, excellent food and adventure that doesn't stop to catch a breath. I wish there was a new one every week. Those of you who think these books are from a formula miss the point. Great food comes from a great recipe and great ingredients combined with skill and taste That's Stuart Woods to a "T."
The fact the democratic president elect is a single woman is just a little frosting on the cake. Oh and the antagonists are right wingnuts. Just a fun read.

DNF. I'm just too bored to continue with this.
September 22, 2020
Well mr woods proved once again he is a one note author: somebody is out to kill either Stone or one of his cronies. At least this volume had a bit of substance and Stone was not so prominent in the story. Yahoo for that...I’m tired of his lounge lizard personality!
December 6, 2020
I enjoyed this Stone Barrington/Holly Barker book more than other recent ones, perhaps because Holly is now President-elect of the US. The story was straightforward and not overly prolonged.
September 6, 2020
As some others did, I rate this 0 of 10, only can't show it on the stars rating.
I read about half way through and gave up, as Woods didn't engage this reader with enough character development or motivation.
It gets tiresome to hear an author promote one party or one side of the USA political argument. But if you're going to do that, at least give characters on both sides enough development we understand why they are doing what they are doing.
Here, aside from the usual talk about spending lots of money on vehicles, clothes, security, food, there are pasteboard bad guys and rote good guys.
Too boring to finish.

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but this book was so bad I had to make an exception. I have read every Stewart Woods book and have been a fan for years. By default, I order every new release. No more! His writing, plot development, and entertainment level has been decreasing for 2-3 years. I keep thinking that maybe the next book will get better and resume the old magic. Nope. He is now spiraling down to just bad stories and bad books. Very disappointed that what used to be such a great author can no longer be tolerated.
August 25, 2020
Excellent!
This was the best Stone Barrington book! There was action, suspense and tension throughout the entire book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes those things. I hope the next book is just as exciting!

This is another fantastic Stone Barrington book, by Stuart Woods. There is plenty of action and suspense. The books can’t come out fast enough for me. Enjoy!
August 19, 2020
One of Woods’ better Stone Barrington books. More action and sex with only Holly. One of those “hard to put down books”.

Stone Barrington and president-elect Holly Barker try to enjoy themselves on an island getaway, but an attempt on Holly's life leaves the pair struggling to keep one step ahead of a conspiracy by a group of white supremacists.

I'm going to start off this review by saying I had no idea this was a series until I went to add it on Goodreads. By then I was a good four or five chapters in. I was still able to easily follow the story and the characters are such that they require little elaboration. Still, I'm sure I've missed things and this has likely colored my opinion of the book, be it for better or worse (I notice a lot of the reviewers who are long-time fans of the series seem disappointed by this one, but see, I don't know any different.)
I know one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I'll admit to feeling deeply misled by the whole package here, from the blurb on the back of the book to the title to the cover, which clearly features a boat amid stormy weather. This book has nothing to do with high seas adventure, nor does much of it take place on an island. Not even a quarter of it.
I'm actually surprised how much I have to say about this book. I conclude I must have enjoyed it because I read it in about 3 days . The writing style is simple, straight-forward, and easy to read. The chapters are short to begin with (most not more than 5 pages, some a great deal less) and most are sub-divided even further down within the chapter, with some sections being as short as a single paragraph. This makes for quick, easy reading, and (to Woods credit) there were only a few times (mainly in the middle) where I felt my attention waning heavily. Luckily, due to the style, if you're bored with a section, you don't really have to wait long for something better to come along.
I found this book to be a rather even mix of tropes I really liked and tropes I really disliked.
~ ~ SPOILERS AHEAD ~ ~
Stone and Holly both seem like fun characters, but even as a new member of the audience, I can tell I've joined them rather past their heyday. They have very little to do and spend almost all of their scenes having breakfast together and fucking. Which... good for them, I guess.
The secondary cast fares a little better. My favorite character was probably Elizabeth/Bess, an undercover agent who is stationed amongst the baddies, trying to earn the trust of their leader. But I have to dock her a few points for using lesbianism as a cover on her undercover mission into a White Supremacist group. The author could have just made her an actual lesbian, of course, but instead, he chose to use it as her cover story which... Doesn't even make sense? It's a pretty bad cover for infiltrating a radical right-wing organization cuz... well, do I even have to explain it? C'mon.
The antagonist is a White Surpremacist named Sykes, who might as well be made of straw but who at least puts up a fair challenge for the heroes of the piece. He does get more menacing the longer the story goes on.
There's about 50 pages near the middle-end of the book, which are just characters all repeating the same information over and over to one another in an endless line. I understand the trials of a large cast and obviously, all the characters need to know what's going on, but I think this section could have been condensed to half the length and nothing would have been lost.
The last 50 pages or so seem to showcase what Woods is actually capable of and do make me interested in perhaps checking out some of his other stories. With that being said, I felt the climax itself fell a little flat and there's practically nothing after the final action scene.
All in all, this is a middle-of-the-road read with a few solid scenes and concepts and enough of a lure to keep you reading, good for passing time on a lunch break or with your morning coffee. I'd recommend it for people who (like me) are suckers for these undercover cop stories or who are fans of the author.

SUBJECTIVE READER REVIEW WITH PLOT SPOILERS FOLLOWS:
'Choppy Water' was a slight step up from brain candy we've gotten so used to in Woods'4-a-year contract with Putnam. Holly Barker's won the presidential election, but her transition period as President-Elect goes anything but smooth. Instead of making targeted public appearances, two attempts to assassinate her within two days remands her 'transition' to hiding out until hopefully the assassin can be found and eliminated. Kinda different storyline for Woods, but one thing remains constant: Holly will collude with Stone Barrington for any hidden moments for impassioned sex. I like that about Stuart Woods, and is probably why I buy every book he publishes.
Apparently the fact that the President-Elect is a woman is only part of the reason retired US Army Colonel Wade Sykes wants her dead; he's already had to suffer through eight years of Democrat Kate Lee's Presidency, and back-to-back Democrat females is too much for the right wing militant dinosaur. I personally don't see what Sykes' problem is; hell, if we could find ONE level-headed patriotic woman for the White House she'd be the best Democratic President since FDR!
Key to the favorable outcome of 'Choppy Water' is the undercover work of Elizabeth Potter, who has infiltrated Sykes' kill team as Bess Potts. Potter's feedback to Holly's Head of Presidential Security Detail at least gives Holly a chance to make it to Inauguration Day. In a major break from Woods' modus operandi is that Elizabeth and Stone don't end up in bed in a heavy breathing contest.
I think 'Choppy Water' is better than most recent Woods' novels is because the case is broken by other than Stone or Dino Bachetti. The US Secret Service and FBI do an acceptable job, since the brightest and best of the Secret Service agents are assigned to President Kate Lee's detail. And six of Holly's Detail get killed on Dark Harbor during the first attempt to hide her out at Stone's Maine hideaway. Since the worst of the killings occur on Dark Harbor, I was kinda surprised that Stone's intermittent savior and Dark Harbor neighbor Ed Rawls didn't make an appearance.
Okay, now you know the lay of the land enough to decide if you wanna go there. I would, as I gave 'Choppy Waters' four stars. Get the book, read it and enjoy it; it's a lead pipe cinch you're gonna like it too!

This was a big letdown. The theme of the white supremacists group going after the president-elect seemed like it had potential, but it quickly became evident that it was a wasted opportunity. Considering that the bad guys were kind of a dumbass collection while the government suspected them but held off until they had hard evidence, plus allowing the president to be at risk not one, not two, not three times, but four times was just too hard to believe. I was looking for a quick and easy read, so this was my fault. The good things about the book were 1) I got it for free and 2) the chapters were short. Judging by how often the author had the characters drinking bourbon made me wonder if he was getting paid by Knob Creek.
August 30, 2020
This book was mildly disappointing in that it was more predictable than expected even for a Stone Barrington novel. Holly is now the president elect, Stone is still jetting around his many homes and the bad guy is a white supremicist with a senator in his pocket. Some of the main characters of a Stone novel made cameo appearances and it was disappointing not to have them as integral to this plot. But as usual, the good guys win out in the end and the bad guys are gone. The real disappointment? Stone is supposed to be a lawyer in a big NY firm and yet his sole role again was working with the CIA and the FBI. Sigh, disappointing and a role not suitable for Stone Barrington.

Wow!...Everything has become political...After reading Time Magazine's Molly Ball's article bragging about the election, and the Democrats, Mainstream Media, cultural elites like Woods & secret a cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites, "Fortifying" the DEFEAT of Trump & his brand of "Populism," I've gained some respect for those labeled as "Conspiracy Nuts...Especially, after observing the efforts, of this same cabal, to censor and deplatform conservative voices following the January 6th Capitol riots by labeling everyone, not in favor of a Leftist agenda, as "White Supremacists...Woods, in "Choppy Water," seems to be doing his part, to paint Conservatives, with this same broad brush!...Just Wow!!!

Another action-packed, Stone Barrington novel. This is a newer one and I think it was one of the best. The President to be is being targeted by a White Supremacist group. Stone and the FBI have a plan but will it work or will they have to go back to the drawing board. Full of suspense. There was a character (not a recurring character) that I worried about the whole time. Had me on the edge of my seat.
