DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: She's
the one woman who won't play his game…

Navy SEAL Luke “Lucky”
O'Donlon is used to women swooning at his feet. So how could it be that feisty journalist
Sydney seems immune to his charms? And since they're working a dangerous case together,
Lucky is determined to turn her frosty attitude around—and make her fall head over heels
for him. ( )

So totally laughing at myself right now. I thought this was the first book in the series. So, take it from me folks, you don't have to read these in order!

This series was recommended to me by a friend when I said--help! I just watched Generation Kill and just simply need to be immersed in very hot military men... who don't just rescue some admiral's daughter who is randomly kidnapped, hijacked, etc. (I'm looking at you Seal whatever book!). This was great. Lucky was just awesome. Syd was charming. The rest of the guys were great.

This book had a bunch of things I usually don't go for in it, but for some reason it all worked for me here. They're in love too fast. Magcially he falls for the total opposite of his type (and yet, Syd didn't act like a Special Snowflake). A rescue and he saves the day. Brockman did a great job of making these characters feel real to me--especially Lucky. You understand why he's a man whore, really understand why family is important and thus his military buddies.

It was just yummy. And the chemistry and the hesitation all led to really good things when they finally got naked! Hooray for this series. Now I'll go back and try it from the real beginning! ( )

Typical SEALs book from Brockmann. While the Tall, Dark, & Dangerous books are definitely formula books, the characters kinda suck you in. ( )

Luke "Lucky" O'Donlon & Sydney Jameson

Sydney Jameson, chief witness to identifying a serial rapist, is paired up with a Navy SEAL team trying to locate the guy before he hurts anyone else. The rapist is leaving specific marks on the victim's bodies which makes everyone believe he is a SEAL, which is why the Navy is working with the police to track him down. Syd's main detractor in being included in this team is the egocentric Lt. Luke "Lucky" O'Donlon, whom she dubs "Navy Ken" because of his physical perfection and propensity to date vapid, plastic Barbie look-a-likes. Lucky is good at his job and is obviously charming but difficult to like at first because of his childish mentality at times. At one point he thinks he can gain control of Sydney (who is working as an investigative journalist regarding the case) by turning on the charm and seducing her. Not attractive. She, of course, caught on right away and turned the tables on him, making him feel insecure for the first time in his life, poor baby. They do end up working well together and then find themselves in some dangerous situations which bring the two of them closer together. ( )

In this Silhouette series focusing on Navy SEALs, Lucky finally falls in love (he's always been a ladies man), but the reporter he loves has no patience for him, as she's intent on the trail of a serial rapist thought to be a Navy SEAL.

HIDEOUS cover aside (Lucky is supposed to be gorgeous and on the cover he looks awful!), this was good and sexy. This one is short, and Brockmann gets much better in later books, but the Brockmann-magic is here as well! ( )
