Navy SEAL, Lieutenant Junior Grade, John Nilsson had not seen linguist expert Meg Moore in three years. He was involved in a training operation when the call came from Washington, DC demanding that he help negotiate a hostage situation at the Kazbekistan Embassy.  It seems Meg was holding the Ambassador at gunpoint. The woman John remembered would never do such a thing.  To his knowledge Meg Moore had no experience with weapons and just the thought of her holding someone at gunpoint seemed all wrong.

Held up in the men’s room of the Kazbekistan Embassy with a gun aimed at  Osman Razeen and three of his staff members, Meg is scared to death.  Earlier that evening, Meg was approached by one of the K-stani extremist demanding that she deliver the Kazbekistan Ambassador to them or her ten year old daughter and grandmother would be killed. Knowing the United States policy of not negotiating with terrorists, Meg knew she  had to do as the terrorist asked. Inexperienced at this kind of thing, once Meg secured the men’s room she then demanded that the US Government contact Navy SEAL John Nilsson of SEAL Team Sixteen as soon as possible.

Once again Suzanne Brockmann takes readers into the world of danger, intrigue and romance via the SEAL Team we met in THE UNSUNG HERO under the command of Lieutenant Tom Paoletti.  The DEFIANT HERO gives readers a more in-depth look at SEAL Team Sixteen and provides us a wonderful older woman, younger man romance. As a bonus there is a sexually charged secondary relationship between FBI sharp shooter Alyssa Locke and Ensign Sam Starrett.

Meg Moore and John Nilsson are wonderful characters,  a couple that walked away from a budding romantic relationship only to realize that love lies dormant until fired by passion.  THE DEFIANT HERO is an enthralling page turner that ends temporarily with Meg and John’s story.  However, with THE DEFIANT HERO Ms Brockmann has positioned readers into a mode of pause until the next SEAL assault.
