Reseñas de la Crítica

“Thanks to Suzanne Brockmann’s glorious pen, we all get to revel in heartstopping adventure and blistering romance.” ( Romantic Times)

A great story

this is my favorite book that Suzanne Brockman has written, it held my interest throughout.

Blue’s story

Ok, but not my fave storyline in the series. I really like how supportive Blue was in Prince Joe, and I appreciate hearing his backstory. It’s just the trying to frame him for his stepbrother’s death wasn’t working for me. I also like Lucy as a character; and I’m happy they get their own HEA.
Adlon was ok as narrator.

True Blue

Great story but hated what he had to go thru. Lucy stayed in it with him making her worthy

Really Enjoyed the Story

It was an easy listen and I enjoyed the story as well as the characters. Suzanne does a lot to bring the story to life and adds the emotional content that makes it a good read. The voice doing the reading is exceptionally good. Enjoy!!!

Good for an older Brockmann SEAL story

I read this a few years ago, but when it showed up in Audible Escape I decided to give the audiobook a try. It's so hard to rate these older Suzanne Brockmann works. Compared to the level of writing in her Troubleshooters series as well as the production/narration quality of those audiobooks, it leaves many of these Tall Dark & Dangerous books feeling slightly bereft. This book is also not one of my favorites of the TD&D series. Still clocks in at 3.5 stars.

Carter "Blue" McCoy is back in his tiny hometown to attend the wedding of his brother and former sweetheart. Blue doesn't have feelings for Jenny Lee anymore ~ but it doesn't stop the gossip mill from turning.

Lucy Tait is a rookie in the local Sheriff's office and is still harboring feelings for her high school crush. When Blue's brother is murdered and Blue becomes the prime suspect, Lucy is assigned to be lead investigator.

Here's where things get a little tricky for me as a reader/listener. This is a small town, so I'm willing to give leeway in what is protocol or how people would/should/might act. There's a lot of unprofessionalism and "seriously, would anyone get away with that?" going on that's somewhat distracting in it's totality.

Also, one of the things I *love* about Brockmann is her ability to write strong female characters. Even if vulnerable, they're usually no dummies. Lucy is one of her weaker characters in terms of incompetence as an officer and her determination to think that, despite repeated statements to the contrary, Blue is still in love with Jenny Lee. It gets old by the end.

The mystery/suspense part is fairly solid, but as the stage is “small town” the action is fairly benign for a Military Romance. Blue & Lucy get their HEA, but it’s abrupt. The epilogue is cute.

While I prefer dual narration on books with alternating POVs, this narrator was still good. She did have the tendency to sound like she had something in her mouth at times, but overall it was a good recording. Honestly, I think I’d rather read it next time.

great!

As always I love eveything written by Suzanne Brockmann! Funny, loving, and can't wait to get the next book!

always loved this series

I remember reading these when they were first released in paperback, it's fun to listen to them again and see how the author has developed over the years.

Somewhat predictable.

The unconventional woman with a torch for the older guy who was her HS hero and the local boy who left and proved himself get together. It was a little hard to believe the local police chief. The framing job would never have stood up in court, but without last minute rescue Blue wouldn't have made it to court. Good series to learn about the SEALS.

Deep breathe before going under.

Another Navy Seal series and it’s a hit. This book like Prince Joe was simple and easy to listen to. It lacked the amount of the two main characters “knowing” what the other thought, and being wrong of the first book. I plan to read the remaining books in the series. Suzanne Brockmann defiantly improves her writing skills the more she is published.

Better than the first one...

I got into this book a lot more quickly and easily than the first of the series. I was doubtful after that one about continuing to read, but decided to give it a try because this one was on sale. The author really stepped it up, so I'm looking forward to getting the next one.

Having grown up in a small town in the south, I can empathize with the main characters and the things that they deal with. The 'who dun it' thing was good too since I was able to tell somewhat who was involved, but couldn't guess exactly who and why.

If I had a complaint it would be the narrator's inconsistency in voices and accents. But, that wasn't so distracting that it took away from the story.
