Summary: Another great SEAL book
Review: A year earlier, William "Crash" Hawken and Nell Burns were thrown together when his boss and surrogate father, Admiral Jake Robinson, and her boss, Daisy Owen, needed them. Daisy was dying of cancer and Jake's last request was that she marry him. As Crash deals with his grief, Nell goes about making arrangements for the wedding, and does everything she can to entice Crash. jake and Daisy think they'd be good together, but a lifetime of distancing himself from people makes Crash do his damnedest to avoid Nell, although he wants her more than life itself.When Daisy dies, Crash and Nell, alone in their grief, turn to each other and share a night together, but Crash makes sure that Nell understands there can be nothing more between them. A devastated Nell leaves, and it's only a year later, when Crash is wanted for killing Jake, that she sees him again. She helps him escape and as much as he tries to resist her help, this is not something he can deal with alone. This is another exciting book in Suzanne Brockmann's Navy SEAL series, and it didn't disappoint. I was saddened by Daisy's death, and happy when everything was revealed at the end. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Brockmann is one of the *very* best romance writers today!
Review: I have read almost all of Brockmann's books, and to me this is the very best of her many outstanding books. I strongly regret that I just read the book now, in March, 1999, too late to nominate it for the Romance Writer's of America's Favorite Book of the Year award. I do hope it wins the RWA published author award, the RITA. It surely deserves it!! This author just keeps getting better. The emotional intensity in this book was unbelievable. And the teamwork of the SEALS A-Team really added a whallop to her fantastic, action-packed climax. I really like this continuing series and am trying to find all the previous books I missed before I knew how great Brockmann is. By the way, in response to the remark of the other critiquer, it wasn't until you mentioned it that I realized this was packaged as a Christmas book. I didn't think about that at all. I was just so stunned by the book and Brockmann's genius. :)

Summary: Really like Brockmann, but this is NOT a Christmas book
Review: I really like Brockmann and she is the only series author I buy - and I read alot. I have been working my way through her purlished list and especially like her SEALS books. So, when this one came up on Amazon.com as soon-to-be-released, I ordered it. And liked it. My complaint? It is packaged as a Christmas book, but has nothing to do with the season. The action, which takes place over two Christmas holidays a year apart, could have just as easily taken place at Valentine's a year apart or during the Fouth of July a year apart. Except to change the decorations for the big wedding held for secondary charaters to hearts or US flags, the season that the story took place in has nothing to do with the plot, charactor development or much of anything. In fact, it was depressing as a Christmas story. A really great adventure romance, but a bad Christmas story. I believe that Brockmann is releasing her first big format romance this spring (1999), so maybe she was rushed to get out a completed book for this Christmas, but packaging this book this way does a truly good story a diservice.

Summary: Romantic Times Review
Review: What a wonderful Christmas gift-a new Navy S.E.A.L. book from Suzanne Brockmann! The reserve of a Navy S.E.A.L. specializing in covert ops is finally shattered when he meets his dying cousins beautiful assistant, even though he doesnt admit it to himself until he gets framed for murder. IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR (4.5G) is another sensational blend of heart-touching romance and explosive adventure. Another gem indeed!

Summary: My favorite in the TD&D series...so far
Review: While I enjoyed the other first five books in this series, (Prince Joe, Forever Blue, Frisco's Kid, Everyday Average Jones, and Harvard's Education) this one in my opinion is the best of the six. Billy 'Crash' is arrested for the murder of his admiral and other agents. He's innocent and hunts down those that framed him. Backing up... Nell, personal assistant to Daisy, the Admiral's significant other appears at Crash's door to tell him that he is needed by the Admiral...Daisy is dying. I'm not giving anything away here. This is how it starts and it gets better. Nell, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that Crash could never have killed his Admiral sets out to help him prove his innocence. I loved it! I know you will too.
