Rating:  Summary: A wonderful book by an extremely talented author! Review: I don't see anything posted as to what this book is about, so here is the info from the back cover: Navy SEAL Mitchell Shaw woke one morning with no clue as to who he was. And the items hidden in his possession were no help--an address, along with a .22 caliber side arm. The address led him to the Lazy 8 Ranch--and its beautiful manager, Becca Keyes, who made him believe he might have a future, even if he wasn't sure about his past.The gun was another story altogether.... Since I first discovered her work, it has been my pleasure to read every book that Suzanne Brockmann has written. I have many favorites by this wonderful writer, but I have to say that I have particularly enjoyed Identity: Unknown. As an extremely jaded romance reader who has been reading love stories 35 years and romance since its inception in the early 70s, in my opinion, this book totally fulfills the highest purpose of romance, to make the reader feel, and feel intensely. The emotional and passionate impact of this story is tremendous! I believe there are multiple reasons for this achievement. First, characterization. Since romance, more than any other form of fiction, is utterly character driven, the most essential requirement for excellence is wonderful characters. Ms. Brockmann has totally succeeded at this goal in Identity: Unknown. These characters are not just sympathetic, they leap from the page. Second, conflict and motivation. This book is brimming with believably motivated and very gripping external, internal, and most important of all, relationship conflict between the lovers. It is essential in a romance that the lovers be together constantly, be absolutely "made for each other," and yet something compelling and believable keep them apart, elements which are there "in spades" in this book. An additional vital component of excellent fiction, including romance, is great plotting. It is very evident in this book in Ms. Brockmann's fascinating use of a continuing Navy SEAL theme. When Mitch, the hero, receives an injury while on undercover assignment that leads to temporary amnesia, this fascinating plotting device works beautifully with a well-motivated internal conflict centering around the honor and integrity of the hero. This in turn seamlessly leads to the exciting external and internal complications which race the story along and keep the reader rapidly turning pages. Along with all of the above vital components of good popular fiction, in a romance, there is the additional requirement of a love relationship of such an intensity that the reader is moved to tears, quivers and sighs. In this, Ms. Brockmann thrillingly exceeds our expectations. The tenderness, poignancy, trust, compassion, caring--and blazing sensuality--between Mitch and Becca are astounding. Mitch is one of my all-time favorite heroes, and, which is all-important for me as a reader, the heroine is worthy of him in her ability to love, her bravery, initiative, independence, and ethics. Do yourself a favor and read this book, one of the best the romance genre has to offer! And after you do, pass it on to all your friends and relations who have ever scoffed at romance.
Rating:  Summary: SEALs are soooo sexy! Review: I loved this book, as well as every other book in the series. I think navy SEALs, as romance characters, are so sexy. I especially loved the return of all the previous characters. The only problem I had was that there wasn't enough of Joe and Victoria Catalonotto, but other than that, it's a must read.

Rating:  Summary: Romantic Times Review Review: It's a month of rockin' sockin' adventure for Intimate Moments beginning with IDENTITY: UNKNOWN (4.5), the latest splendid entry in Suzanne Brockmann's fabulous S.E.A.L. series. Amnesia plays havoc with a Navy S.E.A.L.'s deep cover assignment when he regains consciousness in a homeless shelter with no memory of how he got there. Fortunately, a job apparently awaits him on a guest ranch run by a feisty woman who insists on believing the best about him. Ms. Brockmann once again wields her pen with compelling mastery as she blends characterization and suspense into a seamless whole for your reading pleasure.
Rating:  Summary: Mitch - vow! Review: This is an amnesia story where the reader knows all the time who the hero is (good). In this book Mitch has to fight with his own demons and nightmares and trust a woman at same time. It has lines to other TDD- books. Lucky is one of the main side characters, because Mrs. Brockmann was clearly writing his story (get Lucky) in her mind allready. I liked the swimming parts and horseriding. It shows that SEALs learn to adapt under the situation if has to. As a person this Mission Man was my kind of a hero. The cover was excellent and the guy inside had his rough moments but he made it clear and chose the woman he loved. This book was like an old western where a lonely rider finally finds his goal and stays behind. As of these Star Wars lines (yes, Obi-Wan) when the other guys were wondering if Mitch has gone to the Dark side of the Force... I loved it.
Rating:  Summary: The Unknown SEAL Review: US Navy Seal Mitchell Shaw can't remember anything, but a couple of clues lead him to work in a ranch for Becca Keyes. As Mitch works to unravel the mystery of his identity, he begins to fall in love with Becca, and the feeling is mutual. Not the very best SEAL book, but I liked it a lot.
