Book Description

Publication Date: June 2003

LUCKY...IN LOVE?

An unlikely state of affairs. For Navy SEAL Lucky O'Donlon was the original love-'em-and-leave-'em guy. Used to women swooning at his feet. So how could it be that the frustratingly attractive journalist Sydney Jameson had nothing to offer him but one very cold shoulder?

Well, two could play at this game. But first things first--he and Sydney had a job to do. They had to get their man.

Then there would be time enough for him to get his woman....

5.0 out of 5 stars Do yourself a favor and "get lucky"..., March 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Get Lucky (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, Book 9) (Paperback)

I've loved the TDD series since Prince Joe, the first book and I have to admit, Joe is my favorite, but Lucky runs a pretty close second.

It's great to finally see Lucky grow up and find love just as most of the other SEALS have. The storyline with the serial rapist on the loose (and the possibility that one of Alpha squad is involved) was great and the interplay between the SEALS and their wives and friends is wonderful.

Sydney is definitely a worthy heroine and her habit of referring to the incredibly handsome Lucky as "Navy Ken" is hysterical. Ignore the cover photo and picture Lucky as he was meant to be - the most incredible of all the incredible men of Alpha Squad.

For those of us who would mourn leaving these guys, word is that Bobby and Wes will be getting their own books and with the introduction of 3 younger" SEALS, this series could keep on going indefinitely.

PLEASE say that's so, Suze; I, for one, would sure hate to say goodbye to these TDD men! Thanks for a great set of books and please keep them coming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Atrocious Cover/ Wonderful Story, June 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Get Lucky (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, Book 9) (Paperback)

This book should be the poster child for Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover. Does anyone else think the guy looks like a blond Lt. Bud Roberts from JAG?

I read the Admiral's Bride, Identity: Unknown and this book all in one week-end, and am now trying to find the others. The entire series is wonderful, and according to her website, one more is due to be released early next year, and the possibility of others.

The scene in the kitchen was wonderful. The characters are developed... I can't recommend it enough. I just wish the epilogue had continued to just past the I do's. Of course, since each book updates us a bit on the other characters...

Can't imagine anyone not liking this book! Adventure, romance, real love, humor. It has it all!

Check out Suzanne's website. She is trying to encourage a reprinting of the earlier books. There is an address to add your support to this campaign. Especially since it is so difficult to find them!

This review is from: Get Lucky (Tall, Dark & Dangerous, Book 9) (Paperback)

For those of you who have faithfully kept up with Suz's Tall, Dark and Dangerous series, this one will not disappoint. I have to admit that I wasn't a complete fan of the last two in the series (I liked them, but not LOVED them) and was worried about how the last one would turn out. Lucky has finally grown up and what a "man" he turned into. Blue is still my favorite but after a second reading I may be a little fickle :-). The characters are completely real and the plot is strong and keeps you wanting more. I read it in one sitting. Make sure you get a copy (and ingore the horrendous cover), Suz, you have my condolences on the not so attractive "Lucky" on the cover. If you are new to the series, don't hesitate to get the rest of them. They are ALL keepers, as are all of Suzanne Brockmann's stories. Thanks, Suz, for a great SEAL series!
