Something Worth Fighting For

As Christmastime settled quietly over the countryside, Navy SEAL William "Crash" Hawken was faced with a deadly conspiracy. And he had only one person to turn to-- the caring passionate Nell Burns. For though Crash had long ago accepted the fact that there was no place in his dangerous world for the simple pleasures of home and family, Nell had been the only woman who had ever tempted him to dream of another kind of life...

Now, as he needed Nell more than ever before, he was beginning to see all that they could have together. What the future might be. If only he could be assured that they had one...

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great SEAL book, July 31, 2000

By 

pontmarie (SF Bay Area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, Book 6) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite in the TD&D series...so far, March 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, Book 6) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brockmann is one of the *very* best romance writers today!, April 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, Book 6) (Paperback)

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. :)
