J.D. Robb discussion

In this original short story, available exclusively as an eBook, Brockmann returns with two of her most beloved characters from the Troubleshooters world: operative Jules Cassidy and his husband, Robin.

After years of playing the tormented actor Joe Laughlin on the hit television show Shadowland, Hollywood star Robin Chadwick Cassidy is ready for a change. Joe’s character embodies the real demons of Robin’s past—his struggle with his sexuality, his battle with alcoholism—and portraying the part has taken a heavy toll on his personal life. Robin’s husband, FBI agent Jules Cassidy, has noticed the strain and will do whatever he can to make Robin happy. And what Robin has in mind will forever transform his career, his marriage, and his family.

I've read this one and really enjoyed Jules & Robin, as always! :)

I read this one and enjoyed it but just wish it was longer.

Way toooo short. I wanted more Jules and robin.

I think I'll pass on this one. From reading a few reviews, I think I have the gist of it.

I didn't realize I never read this story! Glad I was able to read something new in the series.

Did you see the parallels between the Shadowland character, Joe Loughlin, and Robin's from a few years ago?

The character of Joe Loughlin is very much like Robin was not too long ago. I can see how playing that character day in and day out could bother a recovering alcoholic.

And, staying in the closet while being in relationship with men who weren't. Wasn't that a big issue between him and Jules?

That's right. Jules wanted someone who was out and Robin hadn't even admitted that he was gay.
