Frisco's Kid

Summary: Keep em coming
Review: 'Frisco's kid' was the first one of Suzanne Brockmann's 'Tall Dark and Dangerous' series I read and after this I was hooked. One of the best things about this book (and all Suzanne's books that i have read) was that it had two stories, the love story between Frisco and Mia and Frisco's attempts to come to terms with the life he is forced to lead. This book has everything you could possibly want in a Romance - passion, humour and the ability to make you cry. The only reason it hasn't got 5 stars is that I have read some other books of the series that are even better (if that's possible). To all readers go and find Suzanne's Tall, Dark and Dangerous series cos they are keepers and the characters never completely disappear after their book.I have all but one of this series and I loved each and every one. So to Suzanne you have to be my best romance writer and believe me the competition is tough. Keep em coming. To readers go and get it - It's definitely worth it. P.S.- If anyone has 'Everyday, Average Jones' by Suzanne Brockmann, please e-mail me at: [e-mail]

Summary: Another hit by Brockmann....
Review: Alan 'Frisco' Francisco is on a downhill spiral to nowhere. After a mission with Alpha Team Ten that busted his knee, Frisco has lost his self confidence as well as self respect. After five years in a naval hospital, Frisco proved to the doctors that he would walk again, and he is determined to prove that he will be whole so he can rejoin the SEAL team that is his life. When the doctors as well as his CO, Joe Cat, tells him that the time has come to leave the hospital, deep down, Frisco knows that he won't be joining Team Ten as an active SEAL.

Mia was attracted to her new neighbor the first time she saw him. What he saw as a disability, she saw as a strength. She saw someone that walked when he was told that he would never walk. She saw someone that was important, when all he saw was failure.

Frisco and Mia's story will break your heart, as it goes into extensive detail about Frisco's childhood and the importance being a SEAL is to him. Brockmann brings Frisco Natasha, his niece, who needs him. Frisco has to put aside his self-pity and think about an innocent five year old girl. He has to forget about thinking what he can't do and start thinking about what he can do. Frisco's Kid is an awesome addition to the TDD series, and I was very impressed.

Don't miss it!

Summary: His story is a little different from the rest...
Review: Alan (Frisco) Francisco's story is a little different from the other's in the Navy SEALS. Frisco had serious knee injury during his last mission. He has spent the last 5 years in the Naval hospital having numerous surgeries and rehab trying hard to get his knee back into shape so he can rejoin the SEALS. And hs has just been told that it's as good as it's going to get. He is released from the hospital and retired from the Navy (unless he is willing to take that instructor's position that they are holding open for him). He heads to a condo he purchased years ago- the only place he has to call "home" if that's what you want to call it. An apartment with a bed, table and couch- dirty clothes from his last visit over 5 years ago still in the corner, and a 6 pack of beer in the frig. Boy, is he down in the dumps. What is in his future? Well, all he knows is that he doesn't need anyone's help (he thinks).

The apartment that has been empty for the past 5 years, next to Mia Summerton, has a light on in it all of a sudden. And Mia is curious. She's a teacher at the local high school and single - and did I mention a "knock-out" to look at with black hair down to her thighs. She gets up the nerve to knock on the door of the apartment only to have a 6'tall, muscular man using a cane in the worst of moods answer it. His charms are definitely not coming through right now. In fact, I think it was lost in the whiskey bottle laying on the floor. The wrong type of sparks fly between Frisco and Mia, Mia trying to be friendly and Frisco thinking he is none of her business.

Then Frisco's sister shows up on crutches herself only to leave her 5 year old daughter on his door steps while she admits herself into a detox center. Now Frisco who can't even hardly take care of himself has a 5 year old to take care of. Things get complicated - but fortunately Mia is there to see that help is needed during the impossible times and is still willing to offer a helping hand. Times like just getting the groceries up the stairs to the apartment. Frisco can bearly get himself up the stairs much less carrying groceries with him. Well the story is a good one. It really deals with Frisco's difficulty in accepting that he is going to have to move on... active Navy SEAL is no longer an option and Life is NOT over yet! Unless he wants to end it in a whiskey bottle like his family have done. And Mia sure doesn't need to get involved with someone who has the problems psychological like Frisco has - the physical can be overcome... But she is too good-hearted to just sit and let him suffer and watch his niece suffer too, because she has been uprooted and is unsure of life now. The story is very moving- don't you know that has happened to a lot of veterans that have had to return home with injuries. It is sweet story- one of pride and understanding. Then there is always an underlying story, too. A guy named Dwayne comes looking for Frisco's sister that claims she owes him BIG BUCKS. And he wants his money back now with interest. He roughs Frisco up and claims he'll be back. Now what is the story about Dwayne? Frisco has to recover from knee injuries as well as find out that his niece, Mia, and he are in danger if they don't deal with Dwayne and his hit men. It is something that Frisco can't handle himself in the end and he request his SEAL Buddies to assist him. That's fun seeing all of the guys get back together. Anyway...

It's a great story and one worth reading as well as sharing with others.

Summary: Frisco's Kid is fantastic, awesome, wonderful!!
Review: Five years ago, Navy SEAL Alan Francisco was injured during a military op, and because of the severe damage to his knee, the thing he desires most in life is taken away from him. Discharged from his prolonged stay in a VA hospital, Frisco is now in the civilian world. Back living in his San Felipe apartment, he is emotionally disheartened with his life and turns to booze. Then he meets his neighbor Mia Summerton and is instantly attracted to her sexy, exotic looks.

With Mia's first glance at her new neighbor, she is also attracted....from Frisco's tattoos, to his masculine physique, she is awestruck. But it does not take long for her to realize this man is wounded, in more ways than one. Mia tries to distance herself from him but keeps getting drawn into his life, especially when he unexpectedly becomes the caretaker of his niece. Between this man and this child, Mia quickly loses her heart!

I just read "FRISCO'S KID" for the very first time and it was so wonderful. I can not believe I have not read it until now. I was so emotionally touched as this hero was being released from the SEAL team he so dearly loved...I admit I cried. And as he struggled through his emotions resulting from his military discharge, then the bonding with his niece, it was heart wrenching.

However, the romance between Alan and Mia, was wonderful. Sure, they struggled, for Frisco's pride is strong, and he did not want to "burden" her with less than a whole man. But Mia is a fantastic heroine....she is a woman in love. She proves to Alan Francisco just how much a man he is, making him concentrate on the things he can do, not the things he can not. What more can I say but...Wow!! What a fantastic, awesome, wonderful book!!
