This is the 6th installment to the Troubleshooter team 16, and I'm re-reading this book with my friend Angela. I've delay posting the review for this book (and the rest of the installments) because I've been reading other books at same time as well. And just haven't gotten around to post reviews than. I brought this one when it was first released in hardcover. And it was also the first book that was personalize autographed by Suzanne too. I knew I couldn't wait for it to release in paperback, so I brought it even though I was bit upset that it was releasing in hardcover. Since than I started to buy all Suzanne latest books in hardcover because I thought it worth it :)

This book is one of my favorite, because we finally get the story that center on the longest time greatest lover, Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke. We watch both suffer through emotional heartbreak, pain, jealousy and loves through out the whole series from the beginning. Finally, we get to see their story and learn more about Sam past, his family and history background.

You'll see more installment relationship between FBI agent Max Bhagat and Gina Vitagliano. They have kept in touch, even after that one nightmare incident when the plan was hijacked. He have tried to fight his feeling for Gina ever since, but she want more from him and won't give up. And so they met again.

We will also see another favorite character again, FBI agent Jules Cassidy who is there to listen to everyone problem. And we also met some of the previous SEALs again. Also we first met cop Ric Alvarado, who story is in the latest book #11 Force of Nature.

Gone Too Far is lot of intense emotion that is compelling and passionate between Sam and Alyssa. It very refreshing on reading story about interracial relationship and finding love. The characters all blend in together making interesting story. This is less adventures but a small action at the end. It focus more on Sam background and history and relationship between his relationship with Alyssa. Also it focus on previous characters relationship too.

This is one of my favorite book, cause all my favorite characters are seen in this book. We watch them grow as they find loves. And it the final HEA for Sam and Alyssa. Great book!
