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: 5 stars
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: 5 stars
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+.

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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great read
Review: I just loved this book, I had bought this book when it first came out in 1996 but I was into historicals and gave the book away! yikes, I finally got a hold of a copy and it is my favorite book of the series so far, the romance between Blue and Lucy just sizzles and there is mystery and mayhem thrown in, fans of the book will enjoy the rest of the series especially Get Lucky, because Lucy has a major part in that story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: forever blue
Review: I waited eagerly for the second book in the tall dark and dangrous series, after Prince Joe , and I was not dissapointed. It countinues the story of Seal Team Alpha Squad, another one of its elite members,Blue McCoy. It was everything I wanted in the hero the strong dangerous silent type and the heroine gutsy intelligent and she knows what she wants she is not afraid to care and love. Blue McCoy and Lucy Tait have unfinished business between them. One has a crush the other remembers how tough the other was .The same crush is now in the guise of friends , loyalty and trust is there when the chips are down and Blue is accused of murder and Lucy is there believing in his innocence even though when all the evidence points towards Blue .From there on every thing heats up between them and the chase to catch the real killer. For me this was a enjoyable book, Like I said I eagerly waited for the second book and was not dissapointed.and I am waiting for the next book by Suzanne Brockmann in the tall dark and dangerous series.

Wouldn't any girl "die" to have her high school crush show up good looking and ask her out! You've got that right! Sure they would! Of course, everyone is looking for the reaction the first time Blue comes in to the dinner hall and sees his old sweetheart. Everyone thought they would end up together. He did, too.

That's ok- Blue now has eyes for Lucy but they can't explore their feelings for one another for long- when Blue's brother comes up murdered and Blue is a suspect. Matters get more intense with Lucy is put on Blue's case as investigative officer. Everyone thinks Blue went for revenge on his step-brother but Lucy knows better. So now Blue's future in the Navy Seals is in jeopardy along with Lucy's heart. But if Blue didn't do it- who did? Great book! Great passion! Great suspense! Can't wait to get another Navy Seal story...

Summary: #2 and Counting Down to the Next
Review: Lucy Tait fantisized about Carter "Blue" McCoy, her hero, since her freshman year in high school. Blue, four years older than Lucy, left town to follow his dreams to become a Navy SEAL. Now Blue is back in town for his stepbrothers wedding to, none other, than Blue's high school sweetheart who broke Blue's heart when he realized she only used him to get close to his step brother.

Upon seeing Lucy again, Blue realizes there is more to his former hero worshiper than meets the eye. Lucy has grown up into a beautiful and independent woman and it's obvious she still has feelings for him. Blue is captivated at first sight. The sexual tension between the two characters couldn't be cut with a knife. Steamy doesn't even touch it. They are so drawn to each other--Blue wants to trust Lucy but his life has been full of disappointments and he has never been able to trust anyone except his fellow SEALS and he hasn't trusted anyone with his heart since high school.

Before the story is over you have murder, mystery, romance, passion, deceit and finally happiness all rolled up into a perfect romance/suspense novel.

This book was a really great read. I read Prince Joe about a month ago and thought it couldn't get much better, but this was as good or maybe a little better. I understand that there are quite a few in Brockman's TDD series. If they keep getting better as we go along--we may combust before we finish. I am new to Brockman, but so far she has captivated me with characters that are so well written and you feel such a part of the story you hate for it to end--Oh! and the suspense aint' bad either. This is a must read if you like well written stories and down to earth characters that tear at your heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Forever Blue - too good to be true,
Review: Suzanne Brockmann's sophomore re-issue with Mira after the hugely successful Prince Joe is foremost a crackling romance and a passionate salute to the Navy SEALs of America at its core like its predecessor. However this time round in Forever Blue, Ms. Brockmann notches up this saccharine romance with elements of small-town murder and mayhem when the hero, Blue McCoy is suspected of killing his stepbrother Gerry after his wedding reception. It reveals later to be a decoy to frame McCoy given his former attachments to Gerry's soon-to-be-wife Jenny Lee. Lucy Tait, who harbours a teenage crush on the SEAL is implicated when she is assigned to investigate. She takes him in when the community at Hatboro Creek repudiates him and accuses him of cold-blooded murder. Sexual tension arises with their closed proximity and as Blue comes to terms with his love for his ardent tenacious worshipper. Yet Lucy is reluctant to believe that this fairy-tale romance could ever come to fruition with the more beautiful Jenny Lee as a rival.

This wildly schmaltzy tale, coupled with a to-die-for brooding hero and a feisty rookie, is a top-notch dazzling romance. What with the frenetic pacing of action and twists to compliment the soaring romance, this book under Brockmann's glorious pen vows to enthrall and leave you swooning with passion.
