Okay, I've been listening to Brockmann's All Through the Night on audiobook in the car.  I've long since read the book (pounced on it like a jonesin' junky the minute it was released).  Michael Holland does a fabulous job reading/performing the book, much better than the dual readers for Force of Nature IMO.

Pronunciation thing:  Sam's last name is pronounced STAIR-ett here, unlike the last audiobook in which it was star-RETT.  Interesting.

One little thing that caught my attention as I listened more than it did as I read:  Sam's reaction to Jules transferring to Boston.  He's very pissy in the beginning about Jules' choice to have a relationship with  Robin, since it will move him off the fast-track to team leader.  Uh okay.  Except that's Jules' choice.  And -wait a minute- didn't Sam make his own (disastrous) personal choices that changed his career path?   On one hand, I can see Sam's behavior as a warning (don't do what I did) but on the other hand, it seemed kind of patronizing.  Yes, he got over it when he saw how happy Jules was with Robin, but it felt like a Pot-Kettle moment to me.
