Product Description
Ellie Stuart's life ended the day her children were stolen from her. Driving on a Virginia backroad, Ellie was ambushed by two men who violently pulled her from her car and drove off with her three sons inside. Devastated, Ellie begs the police to bring her babies home. But the authorities wonder if this stressed-out single mom may not be telling the whole truth about what happened that day...
Navy SEAL Sean Harlan agrees to help Ellie find her children, but vows to keep their relationship professional. He's got no room in his life for a woman and her kids--no matter how beautiful she is, or how desperate their situation. But when a sinister organization begins pulling strings behind the scenes, the investigation suddenly targets Sean. Can he and Ellie rescue her children and save themselves? Or are they already...

 Too Far Gone by Marliss Melton-A Joyfully Recommended Title! November 27, 2008

Since her worthless husband walked out on her and their children, Ellie Stuart's life has been slowly but surely getting better. Even though she's attracted to her landlord, Navy SEAL Sean Harlan, she knows that he's the wrong type of man for her.
Sean has been watching Ellie since he met her but knows that he's not the kind of guy for a single mother no matter how great he thinks her boys are. But when her sons are forcibly kidnapped from her, Sean is there to help her fight the mysterious organization behind the kidnapping. Circumstances allow the passion between Sean and Ellie to explode but can they find a way to make it last forever and become a family?
Too Far Gone goes from zero to 60 in about 3 chapters and never slows down after that! Marliss Melton has it all! Passion, action and emotional intensity are all seamlessly woven together in a story that literally kept me up all night unable to stop reading. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

'Too Far Gone'... November 24, 2008

Is it too much to ask for a little bit of peace and quiet?
For Ellie Stuart who is a single mom, finding the time and energy to keep up with her busy life and still tend to her three young and energetic boys, the answer is a definite yes!
Goodness knows her life is complicated enough without having a man in her life.
When Navy Seal and landlord Sean Harlan stops by to do repairs on his rental property and Ellie's home, she can't help but notice how darn sexy he is. Not that she'd ever let herself get mixed up with him. But Sean's easy manner with the boys and the extra little things he does to make her rented house more of a home for them, can't help but warm her carefully guarded heart.
Though Sean is off-limits, neither of them can fully ignore the sexual tension that flairs between them.
One night, as Ellie is driving down a dark back-road, she is viciously attacked by two burly strangers who are intent upon taking her boys. When the kidnappers forcefully remove Ellie from her car, they speed off into the night with her terrified little children still inside.
Scared, confused and fearful for her three defenceless little boys, Ellie goes right...

 Race to rescue kidnapped children November 23, 2008

'Too Far Gone' is part of a series about Navy SEALs and the hero of this book, Sean Harlan, is portrayed as one might imagine a SEAL - muscular, a ladies' man, good at slinking about in the dark and sorting out problems. And Sean finds himself involved in the problems of his tenant, Ellie Stuart, after her three children are kidnapped. Sean has been finding Ellie rather attractive for some time but knows there's no point in getting involved with a single mother; however, when Ellie needs his help to try to search for the kids, he finds himself eager to assist.
The book follows Sean and Ellie as they follow up the slim leads they can find in order to locate the children. What Sean and Ellie don't initially know, however, is that a shadowy group known as The Centurions is involved and that group has tentacles in many different layers of government and law enforcement and can fabricate evidence to implicate Sean. Can Sean and Ellie find her children? Can they get to the bottom of who has kidnapped the kids? Is there any future for them?
This was a well-paced book with plenty of action (although less direct SEAL action than I expected). The romance is believable, the plot credible most of the time and the side-plot with an FBI agent and a rich young woman was a bonus. Overall, however, I felt that the book didn't stand out in any particular way but it was certainly a decent enough read for an afternoon's entertainment.

Excellent...
Too Far Gone is an excellent read for anyone who loves action and mystery with a little romance and just the right amount of sizzle. This book will keep you turning the pages and burning the midnight oil.
Marliss Melton's characters are real, and the story flows to its final conclusion without the reader becoming frustrated with the direction or any side stories becoming too overwhelming. The story was well thought out and well written. It entertained from the opening chapters to the finishing line. I would recommend this as a must-read.
Another fantastic SEAL story! November 18, 2008
Tracy Vest (Northern California)
A teen pregnancy and marriage to her high school sweetheart turns out to be a horrible mistake for Ellie Stuart. Broke and divorced, she relocates to Virginia and tries to make a new life with her three sons. But a dark and sinister civic organization known as the Centurions has other ideas and kidnaps the boys only for the authorities to think that Ellie simply had enough and killed them. SEAL sniper Sean Harlan knows she wouldn't harm them; he's her landlord and is attracted to her but considers her hands off since he doesn't date women with children. He takes some leave to help her find her kids only to be embroiled in the investigation since the Centurions need a fall guy. The closer they get to the truth, the guiltier Sean looks to the Feds thanks to the Centurions' planted evidence.
Melton's latest SEAL story has all the action-packed romance readers come to expect from her. She also manages to weave characters from her other novels in the series into the storyline without it seeming forced, as well as introducing new characters with interesting sub-plots without taking away from the central theme of the novel. This is the sixth in the series and she has had me hooked since day one!
