Summary: My First Read By This Author And It Won't Be The Last!!!!
Review: I've never read a book by this author but after many reccomendations by not only Amazon.com but by friends as well, I decided to pick up her newest. Even though I had not read the 2 prior book in this series (I have since ordered them!) I was still blown away by the fast paced story. The characters were not "perfect" and it was great to read about how these two terribly different people related to each other and eventually fell in love.

Alan Francisco was a Navy SEAL injured during a mission five years earlier. The book opens with him being a a VA hospital getting ready to be released with the unfortunate reality that his knee was never going to improve past what it already had, and that he would be physically challenged for the rest of his life. On top of this his sister leaves her daughter Natasha with Frisco when she goes off to rehab, so not only does Frisco have to deal with his personal tragedy, now he has to take care of a five year old and he's clueless as to what this little person needs and is positive that he isn't it. He's not a whole man now. Or so he thinks.

Mia is a high school teacher and is Frisco's next door neighbor. She finds herself drawn to this physically, and emotionally injured man. She sees the good in him even if he doesn't and finds herself falling in love with him over the course of events.

The end result is a story full of emotion both happy and sad. Natasha, and Mia open doors for Frisco and slowly he realizes that his life isn't over it's just changed a little. Blue and Joe as well as the rest of Frisco's team show their faces and play a roll in the story, so you get to see old friends (well, new for me) as well as making new ones. If you like military romances this is a great addition to your summer reading!

Summary: Suzanne Brockmann continues to wow readers!!!!
Review: Suzanne Brockmann has once again wowed this reader with an intimate story of a man who is about ready to give up on life and a woman who happens to come along to make him see what there is to live for.
Frisco is a Navy Seal injured in a covert operation(Prince Joe book).
After 5 years of trying to get his knee back in shape he is told enough is enough.
Feeling the Navy gave up on him he returns to civilian life and his sister drops a bombshell on him(Her name is Natasha age 5 and his niece).
His next door neighbor(Mia a high school teacher) can't help but see his potential as a person and tries to encourage him.
At first he fights her efforts, but gradually turns to her when in need(of many things).
You'll also meet Thomas King whom Natash claims she'll marry someday.
You'll see him mentioned in Get Lucky(pay attention) and
Taylor's Temptation.
Suzanne Brockmann interweaves characters through out this series.
Once you read one you get hooked!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A glorious triumph
Review: This fractured romance is perhaps Suzanne Brockmann's most stunningly poignant in her Tall, Dark and Dangerous Series. It is her darkest effort yet when she pens heated resentment in Navy SEAL Lt. Alan Francisco whose future is irrevocably marred by an injury that cripples him. His expulsion from the rehab center lands him in an apartment in San Felipe, California neighboring to teacher Mia Summerton. Mia and ex-student Thomas King insinuates themselves into his life, assisting him in taking care of his obsteperous niece Natasha despite his rejections that stems from humiliation. Alan finds himself denying his attraction for the beauty, believing his disability had destroyed his future and love. He is haunted by the demons of his alcoholic father and threatened by his sister's ex Dwayne who intends to recover the money his sister owes him. Mia's love and belief motivates him as a healing power. Ms. Brockmann's agonizingly heartbreaking tale is a glorious triumph in depicting love overcoming odds - and even more for the nuanced emotional range.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Emotionally Compelling
Review: This is one of my favorite books by Suzanne Brockmann. The story of "Frisco" Francisco's struggle to re-create a life that has taken a drastic and irreversible turn from what he had wanted and planned contains Brockmann's strongest and most emotionally compelling writing to date.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wished I'd saved my money
Review: This was one of the worst books I've ever read. I did make it through to the end it took about a week.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS RATES MUCH MORE THAN 5 STARS
Review: WOW! Nobody does it better than Brockmann. Once again Suz has written a story that draws you in completely. I know this is a reprint--but its my first time to read. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. It is a definite keeper. Frisco is so wonderful--it just takes time and the love an equally wonderful woman to make him realize it.

There are a few authors that I read without question, Suzanne Brockmann is at the top of that list. If you've never read a Suzanne Brockmann book I highly recommend that you do and any one of her books will do just fine. I've read everything available and haven't been disappointed yet. In the TDD series read Prince Joe first and follow the order. I didn't think it could get better than Prince Joe, but Forever Blue blew me away and Frisco's Kid pushed the mark up even further.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: #3 IN A GREAT SERIES!
Review: You are going to wish you had the whole series -- don't miss out on some very great stories.
Once started this series is very addictive! Go for it!
Meet Frisco and Mia and his friends from the SEALS -- back up and get started with "Prince Joe". and catch up with Blue McCoy from "Forever Blue".
A recommended addition to your personal library -M
