I liked this book, but I was a bit bored.
Bo was fine, and I liked Morgan, but not much happens.
Morgan has just left the hospital so he’s still weak, but I liked the scenes where Bo helps him, or when he’s trying to rebuild his strength.
There are some really short scenes with side characters.
I really liked Tricks as she had her own personality, which was clearly shown.
The plot was a bit boring as nothing happens until the last few chapters.

I'm always on the hunt for good romantic suspense novels and this one started out strong. But it moved really slow in the middle and left several holes in the ending. I liked the characters alright. They were pretty solid, but also a little boring. Tricks (the dog) was delightful! Not a bad story, but not a very memorable one either

Last November I read my first Linda Howard book, the second novel in the GO-Team series called ‘The Woman Left Behind’. I absolutely loved that book. So when I saw a great deal on Amazon for ‘Troublemaker’ the first book in the series. I just had to get it and started reading as fast as I could. ‘Troublemaker’ can be read as a standalone.
In ‘Troublemaker’ we meet Morgan Yancy. Morgan is a team leader of a GO team and has just arrived home after being away on a job for months. Shortly after arriving home he gets ambushed and almost dies when some stranger tries to kill him. To get his strength back and lay low for a little while, Morgan stays with the stepsister of one of his colleagues Bo Maran. Bo doesn’t really trust people easily. And Morgan is stubborn as hell, and seems to be having a lot of secrets. Bad news if you ask Bo. But soon Morgan and Bo get to know each other better. Unfortunately that’s when Morgan’s life starts catching up with him.
I had some high hopes for ‘Troublemaker’, and I must say I really enjoyed reading this book. This book starts really exciting and before I knew what was going on I was totally pulled into the world of Bo and Morgan and I couldn’t stop reading. Both main characters Bo and Morgan are really fun to get to know. Especially because they aren’t like your average main characters. For one they both aren’t very good in being social, and secondly they both have some baggage.
The romance between Morgan and Bo starts with a simmer, and ends all hot and heavy. And I loved that about this read. You really get excited reading about these two and I couldn’t get enough of them.
The suspense in this book wasn’t as exciting as I would have liked, but I definitely enjoyed it. It just started pretty good, and near the end I found the suspense ending a little to abrupt. It felt rushed and I really wanted to know what was going on.
Overall ‘Troublemaker’ was a fun read I’d definitely enjoyed.

A passable thriller-romance that's a bit light on the thrills. Once you read all the reviews about the number of pages devoted to the dog, you can't "unsee" that element of the book, LOL!
