Bellissimo e avvincente, più storie intriganti e appassionanti intrecciate tra loro, sia nel presente che nel passato, molto ben costruite con personaggi ben delineati che conquistano.
Tom Paoletti è un SEAL, Kelly una pediatra, si conoscono da sempre e da sempre si amano pur senza esserselo mai detto.
Accanto alla loro viene raccontata la bellissima storia dell'amicizia nata in Francia, durante l’ultima guerra, tra lo zio di Tom, Joe, e il padre di Kelly, Charles, entrambi innamorati della stessa donna, Cybele.
L’altra vicenda che si intreccia con la principale è quella di Mallory, la ribelle nipote di Tom, con David, disegnatore di fumetti.
Un libro che mi è piaciuto moltissimo, per me un imperdibile. ( )

Not quite a 4, more than 3.5. I enjoyed the story but there were too many sub-plots and p.o.v.s for me and it distracted from the main story. The flashbacks were pretty clunky too. And for all that the suspense bit was a major plotline, it seemed to be resolved too neatly. And it turned into a bit of a farce. I'll be reading the next couple of books, but I am not sure I'm going to make it to the end of the series. ( )

This is a great book if you're looking for 40 pages of adventure embedded within 350 pages of romantic relationships that develop at a snail's pace. ( )

Most of Brockmann's romances have these common details: Navy SEALs, kidnappings, an important grandmother, a terrorist or two, great looking people with hard bodies, and let's not forget roiling sexual turmoil. Unsung Hero is no different. Tom Paoletti and Kelly Ashton's conundrum is that they have history dating back to high school: Kelly was too young for next door neighbor Tom so he ran away to join the military a month early. Sweet and innocent Kelly was left with unrequited teenager lust never to be forgotten. But now, sixteen years later, Kelly is all grown up and just happens to be visiting her father. Tom is also back in town trying to convalesce after getting caught in a bomb blast. Kelly never lost the burn for Tom, so much so that even though her father is dying of terminal cancer, all she can think about is getting the doomed man back in bed. She needs to return to her fantasy about Tom and his um...hard body as soon as possible. Even though Tom is damaged goods, his one track mind is no better. He too carries the long burning torch of lust. He eyeballs Kelly's perfect ass as they blithely discuss her father's terminal cancer. Insert eye roll here. So sex aside, while Tom is home he catches a glimpse of a terrorist long thought dead. His superiors think the bomb has altered his reality and refuse to take him seriously, leaving Tom no choice but to cobble together his own counterterrorist team to take the man down. ( )
