jmc_bksI was on the fence about reading Suzanne Brockmann’s Into the Storm. I bought her last book in hardback and was extremely disappointed by the abrupt character shifts in Max and Gina, the hero and heroine who finally got their HEA after a longish story arc. I don’t have anything invested in the latest SEAL hero, Mark Jenkins, but have enjoyed the series, generally speaking.
At the bookstore today, I picked up a copy of Breaking Point, the mmp of her last book. Didn’t buy it (why spend the $? I still have the hardback at home) but I wanted to see if an excerpt of the next book was included. Yup. I like the heroine so far. But the thing that makes me interested in reading the book? Jenk’s childhood nickname: Weebles. As in Weeble-Wobbles. Sing song voice: Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down! I had a Weeble-Wobble Haunted House – I think Mom still has some of the figures in the box of toys she keeps around for when people with small kids visit her. I adored that thing, especially the revolving bookcase in the library. ::sigh:: Anyway, I planned on waiting until Into the Night was out in mmp to read it, but I’ll put a copy on hold at the library now.
First I read Crazy Love just because there’s a character named Skeeter (like a childhood friend), now I’m going to read Brockmann’s latest because of a childhood toy. What’s next? A book titled Little Hugs because I loved those little barrel shaped, Kool-Aid-like drinks as a kid? Ah, nostalgia.
