They'd had a long-distance on-again, off-again sort of relationship, very unhealthy and high-maintenance, but Kenny thought he genuinely loved her. As the book starts, Kenny is still a bit bruised after his girlfriend of over a decade left him. He's the off-the-wall, think-outside-the-box guy without a filter who's part of SEAL Team 6. The main one is the romance between Savannah von Hopf and Ken 'Wildcard' Karmody, a character readers of the series would have already known well. OOC does that typical Brockmann thing from that time of having lots of simultaneous storylines and moving between them constantly. OOC has stuck in my mind enough that I was sure I'd reread it recently, but the first one in the series I have a review of is Into the Night, read in December 2002. I remembered that so clearly that I was surprised to realise I haven't reviewed this one. I wanted something that would engage me, and I remembered exactly just how much these early books in the Troubleshooters series had done that.

I decided to reread Out of Control after a run of a few books I had to push myself to continue reading.

As time is running out, they scramble to escape, risking their lives to stop a nightmare from spinning even further out of control. When her plan goes horribly wrong, they are trapped in the forsaken jungle of a hostile country, stalked by a lethal enemy. But Savannah is bound for Indonesia with or without his protection, and he can’t just walk away. But when he discovers Savannah’s hidden agenda, he is determined to end the affair. WildCard has always had a soft spot for beautiful women. What she doesn’t expect is to end up in WildCard’s arms before she can even ask for his help. She must convince him to help her deliver a cache of ransom money into the hands of terrorists halfway around the world. To save her uncle’s life, she goes in search of Ken “WildCard” Karmody, a guy she barely knew in college who is now a military operative. SERIES: 4th in the Troubleshooters series
