Wish I was so lucky!

The Seals find their reputation in jeopardy when a rapist brands his victims with something only a Seal could own. I found this to be a great mystery thread that held up. Navy Seal Lucky, or Navy Ken as journalist Sydney calls him, is assigned to find the violent rapist. Sydney is a strong character with goals in life. At the beginning, Navy Ken, who prefers Barbie like girlfriends, disappointed me, but with Sydney's influence hope may be near. Suzanne Brockmann is a great writer. Her characters are full of depth and she doesn't mind making them sound human, or taking risks with them; most of all she gives them hope and a chance to turn things around for the better.It was a smooth, attentive read all the way. I really enjoyed it.

Atrocious Cover/ Wonderful Story

This book should be the poster child for Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover. Does anyone else think the guy looks like a blond Lt. Bud Roberts from JAG?I read the Admiral's Bride, Identity: Unknown and this book all in one week-end, and am now trying to find the others. The entire series is wonderful, and according to her website, one more is due to be released early next year, and the possibility of others.The scene in the kitchen was wonderful. The characters are developed... I can't recommend it enough. I just wish the epilogue had continued to just past the I do's. Of course, since each book updates us a bit on the other characters...Can't imagine anyone not liking this book! Adventure, romance, real love, humor. It has it all!Check out Suzanne's website. She is trying to encourage a reprinting of the earlier books. There is an address to add your support to this campaign. Especially since it is so difficult to find them!

Do yourself a favor and "get lucky"...

I've loved the TDD series since Prince Joe, the first book and I have to admit, Joe is my favorite, but Lucky runs a pretty close second.It's great to finally see Lucky grow up and find love just as most of the other SEALS have. The storyline with the serial rapist on the loose (and the possibility that one of Alpha squad is involved) was great and the interplay between the SEALS and their wives and friends is wonderful.Sydney is definitely a worthy heroine and her habit of referring to the incredibly handsome Lucky as "Navy Ken" is hysterical. Ignore the cover photo and picture Lucky as he was meant to be - the most incredible of all the incredible men of Alpha Squad.For those of us who would mourn leaving these guys, word is that Bobby and Wes will be getting their own books and with the introduction of 3 younger" SEALS, this series could keep on going indefinitely.PLEASE say that's so, Suze; I, for one, would sure hate to say goodbye to these TDD men! Thanks for a great set of books and please keep them coming.

Lucky has finally found his match!

Suzanne Brockmann once again brings us back to visit those Tall, Dark and Dangerous Navy Seals of hers. This time the story is about gorgeous Navy Seal Luke O'Donlan. Let me just say that if you can get past the horrible, awful, Good Humor cover then you will love this book.After a night out at the movies, journalist Sydney Jameson comes home to find a man running down the stiars, her neighbors apartment door ajar and crying from inside. Going in to investigate, Sydney finds her neighbor has just been brutally raped. Luke O'Donlan is angry when he find out that some journalist is pointing the finger at Navy Seals and urging women to stay away. He is determined to find the rapist and clear the Navy's name. When he is assigned the investigation he is dismayed to find that he has to work with mousy sharp-tounged Sydney.Two people could not be such opposites. Lucky is handsome in the extreme, Sydney is marginally pretty and unsure of herself. But when Sydney and Lucky meet firecrackers ignite.After several weeks without a lead and another brutal rape Lucky and Sydney are at their wits end. Finally they come up with the idea that Sydney will pose as Luke's girlfriend to try to draw the rapist out and after her. Luke and Sydney are continually drawn to eachother, but could the handsomist man in the Navy Seals (if not possibly all of California) be attracted to Sydney. The answer is YES!If you enjoyed all the other Navy Seals books, Get Lucky is sure to please.

Going out with a BANG!

For those of you who have faithfully kept up with Suz's Tall, Dark and Dangerous series, this one will not disappoint. I have to admit that I wasn't a complete fan of the last two in the series (I liked them, but not LOVED them) and was worried about how the last one would turn out. Lucky has finally grown up and what a "man" he turned into. Blue is still my favorite but after a second reading I may be a little fickle :-). The characters are completely real and the plot is strong and keeps you wanting more. I read it in one sitting. Make sure you get a copy (and ingore the horrendous cover), Suz, you have my condolences on the not so attractive "Lucky" on the cover. If you are new to the series, don't hesitate to get the rest of them. They are ALL keepers, as are all of Suzanne Brockmann's stories. Thanks, Suz, for a great SEAL series!
