Any other topics you’d like to discuss? This essentially is the last story in the series (a really short novella follows). Your overall opinion of the story and the series?


Robin (robinmy) | 1214 comments I liked this series. I thought it was a little better than Gerard's previous series (The Bodyguards). She did a great job with the stories. They weren't repetitive. I liked that they were set in some countries that we usually don't get to read about.


Robin (robinmy) | 1214 comments Many of us belong to the same groups and have been reading the same series this year. I have finished three romantic suspense group reads: The Troubleshooters, Black Ops, and the Bullet Catchers. Has everyone read all of these series? How do you think they compared to each other? Which did you like best?

Troubleshooters is my absolute favorite by far. The writing is exceptional, the plots intricate and the character development excellent. Black Ops, Inc. is a close second, especially the later books in the series. I liked Bullet Catchers, didn’t love it, most notably because I came to disrespect Lucy.

Troubleshooters and Black Ops, Inc. compare very well. They’re similar in story structure and level of suspense. Bullet Catchers was very different with more emphasis on romance, IMO.


Robin (robinmy) | 1214 comments I rate the three series the same as you. Troubleshooters was my favorite too. Brockmann's characters just jump off of the page. The later books are not just a re-hash of the older ones. She always has unique story for each couple. I'm glad she's writing that series again.

Black Ops, Inc. was a good series. I liked that many of the team members showed up in each book, not just their own book and then disappear. The stories were consistently good and the romance was interesting.

Bullet Catchers was my least favorite of the three. It seemed like there wasn't much interaction between the team members except for meetings at Lucy's office. Lucy was what tied the group together, and I didn't like her. (I don't think many readers did.) The stories did get better and better as the series went on. Too bad the author didn't get rid of Lucy or improve her in some way.

Lucy started off as a pretty good character, strong and decisive with great instincts. St. Claire developed her weirdly as the series progressed, portraying her as someone with terrible instincts and no loyalty to her team members when things hit the ditch.

Screwing up Lucy broke the foundation for the whole series.

Agree with you totally about Troubleshooters and Black Ops.


Anita (anitanodiva) | 849 comments 1. Troubleshooters (one of the best series I've ever read)

2. Black Ops (right up there too)

3. Bullet Catchers (loved the guys, hated Lucy)
