Rating:  Summary: Blue is Red Hot! Review: Blue McCoy is a Navy Seal who is the typical quiet, introverted, but excellent soldier. He doesnt mess with anyone as long as they dont mess with him or anyone he cares fore. Lucy Tait was 14 when she first met Blue in High School. She was a freshman and he was a senior... and he saved her [life]! Ever since she saw him she has been infatuated with him, and despite all the time that has passed, when Blue returns to Hatboro Creek, where they are both from, Lucy feels the same butterflies dancing in her stomach. Blue has returned to his town because his brother Gerry is getting married to Blue's old sweetheart Jenny. And the minute Lucy and Blue lay eyes on each other the ... attraction is more than palpable. Unfurtunately for both of them things get complicated and nasty with the sudden [demise] of Blue's brother... and with the primary suspect, which happens to be Blue. Everything indicates that Blue has killed Gerry but Lucy knows better and Blue is convinced that someone is setting him up big time. There's so much ... tension in that little town that u could cut the air with a very old and not so sharp knife. The story is my favorite so far from the Navy Seal's series of S.Brockmann. It is tender, funny, and thrilling. I though it was a great read and I liked it better than Prince Joe. I think Blue is a very likable guy and I wish I had one just like him! Overall, Blue is Hot Red!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful blend of action and emotion! Review: Blue McCoy was the hero in Lucy Tait's teenaged fantasies. But she's no longer a teenager, and Blue's hero status comes under question when he becomes the prime suspect in his stepbrother's murder. Lucy doesn't believe the Navy SEAL is guilty and sets out to prove it, even if it means losing her job on the police dept. Even if it means losing her heart...or maybe even her life. Brockman weaves a wonderful blend of action and emotion in this rich story of a love that was always meant to be.

Rating:  Summary: I love men in uniform........ Review: Blue was the perfect navy SEAL......and a wonderfully sexy, handsome vulnerable "hero". Lucy was a caring, upfront gal who had a crush on Blue in high school and now finds she actually loves him. However Blue is accused of murdering his brother and Lucy is the cop assigned to investigate the case. The dialogue is great, the love scenes are "hot"....so why did I give it a 3?? Getting into the book was a bit slow, much too much languishing over high school memories by both parties. But I found it terribly unrealistic that a female rookie cop of 6 months working as the token female in an all male, hostile police force would be assigned the biggest case to hit this small town. Eventually you can work it around so that the "bad" guys wanted to frame Blue and didn't want anyone to "solve" the real case and so assigned the least likely investigator. But that assumption is mine and was never hinted at in the book. Even Lucy knew she was out of her depth. I also would have loved more cameos from the rest of the alpha team who virtually had only a brief part. The book had some wonderful moments and the bonds between these two were palpable from the beginning.....I'm glad I read it but not sure I'll keep it.
Rating:  Summary: Second in the TDD books! Review: Carter "Blue" McCoy comes back to his hometown to attend the wedding of his high school sweetheart to his own stepbrother. Lucy Tait has had a crush on Blue since she was a freshman in high school and he saved her from a bunch of jerks who were beating her because she'd made the boys' team. Now, police officer Lucy finds that her attraction to Blue has not diminished and he is equally attracted to her, but when his stepbrother is murdered and all the clues point to Blue, can Lucy keep her duty and her love for Blue separate enough to help clear his name? I really liked this book, Blue is such a nice guy and he keeps trying to convince Lucy that he no longer wants his old girlfriend, Jenny Lee, although Lucy can't believe he'd pass up a beauty queen like Jenny to be with her. Lucy's schoolgirl crush and later devotion to the hero-like Blue begins to diminish as she accepts the faults the real Blue has, and her love deepens as well. After Prince Joe, this is a great installment in the TDD books, I highly recommend it.

Rating:  Summary: 2nd in the TD&D series...my favorite! Review: Carter "Blue" McCoy is a member of an elite group of Navy SEALs. He travels home to Hatboro Creek to attend the wedding of his stepbrother to his childhood sweetheart. One of the first people he sees is Lucy Tait, police rookie and a girl he knew in high school. Lucy has had a crush on Blue for more than 10 years. Seeing him again jolts her. He is instantly attracted to her. They decide to engage in a brief affair. Brief becasue Blue will leave Hatboro Creek after the wedding; SEALs never stay in one place. But things get complicated when Blue's stepbrother turns up dead and Blue is the main suspect in his murder. I just read my synopsis and realized that I cannot accurately convey how good this book is. Blue is tough, quiet, strong, and stern. He's also kind and honorable and darn sexy. I remembered him as an intriguing character from the 1st book in this series, PRINCE JOE. He makes an absolutely wonderful hero in FOREVER BLUE. Lucy is tough, direct, courageous, and (gasp!) not a virgin. (Regular romance readers will know what I mean by that last one.) I really, really liked Lucy. Blue and Lucy together are very hot, sweet, and sometimes even funny. I usually dislike suspense or mystery in romances, but Brockmann knows how to incorporate these elements without taking away from the romance. I liked FOREVER BLUE even better than PRINCE JOE, which I would grade an A. I guess that means FOREVER BLUE is an A+.
Rating:  Summary: I love men in uniform........ Review: Everyone in sleepy Hatboro Creek, SC is anticipating the wedding of Gerry McCoy and Jenny Lee Beaumont. They're all eagerly awaiting the return of Gerry's stepbrother US Navy SEAL Carter "Blue" McCoy. Everyone expects fireworks since Blue and Jenny Lee had been high school sweethearts until Jenny dumped Blue for Gerry. Lucy Tait is also anticipating Blue's return but for reasons of her own. She had a serious crush on Blue in high school and she's still infatuated after all these years. He's her hero and because of him, she's learned all she can about Navy SEALs. When he returns to town, she discovers that her feelings for him have resurfaced full force. The teenaged loner has become a handsome, powerful, confident, but still largely solitary man. But Lucy is not the scrawny, Yankee kid that Blue remembers rescuing from more than one scrape in high school. She's now a lovely, self-possessed woman - and a cop! When Blue invites Lucy to the rehearsal dinner after-party she is stunned and thrilled. Blue McCoy asked her out on a date!! Unfortunately the evening turns into a fiasco when Gerry and Blue wind up in a fight. Blue leaves the party planning to leave on the first bus out of town. So much for Lucy's big date with Blue McCoy. But when Gerry turns up dead and Blue is the prime suspect, Lucy finds herself in charge of the investigation - her, a rookie cop! And Blue has no one to turn to to prove his innocence except Lucy since the whole town seems to already believe he's guilty. Was he set up (and why?) or was Blue really jealous of Gerry and still in love Jenny Lee? Can Lucy be fair and impartial when it comes to a man she's adored for years or will she be seduced by his charm and her long suppressed feelings? Oh, it's another yummy Brockmann TDD read and I enjoyed it immensely! Blue is the strong, silent sexy type and Lucy was a great heroine who knew her own heart and had the strength of her own convictions. She's probably one of Brockmann's more developed, fully dimensional heroines. My only complaint was with her obsession with Blue and his feelings for Jenny Lee - get over it! And, maybe a first for the author, I found myself wanting to know more about the hero. Usually it is the heroines that Brockmann short-changes, but here I wanted to know Blue better and felt I never got the full picture. But still a highly recommended!
