As Wes ships out on an assignment, he asks Bobby to go to Boston to look out for his younger sister, Colleen, who is doing stuff that has big brother in overprotective mode. Bobby goes, but is full of reservations because his feelings for Colleen Skelly are far from brotherly. As this is a serial romance novel, you can probably guess where the plot goes from there. The dialogue is snappy and characters are very well drawn. The conversations between Wes and Bobby, as well as the brief appearances of other SEALs from earlier books work very well. My only knock would be that we never learn much about Bobby's background and history. Normally I wouldn't notice this, but in all of the other Team Ten Books the heroes had a history that was explained, so its absense was noted here. There is a good segue to the next book in the series (expected to be Wes' story) at the end. All of the Suz Brockmann fans who have been waiting impatiently for the next installment of her Team Ten books will be pleased with this effort.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Taylors Temptation Review: Excellent story. Would recommend this book and all the other Tall Dark and Dangerous series to my friends. This one has been my favorite to date. The characters are so alive you could almost fall in love with Bobby and feel for Colleen as she struggles to get Bobby to see her as more than his best friend Wes's little sister. Also Bobby's struggle to hide his feeling for Colleen because he knows Wes wouldn't approve and his fear of losing his best friend.

And I do like the Navy SEAL series, though I notice the thing keeping the hero and heroine apart pretty much always is the same: The hero is a busy SEAL who is gone on missions all the time, and he just can't imagine any woman putting up with that for long, so he avoids serious commitment. Thankfully, SB does add another wrinkle to this book to keep it from being totally predictable: Bobby, the hero, who figures he can only offer a fling to the heroine, Colleen, since he is never home, feels too guilty to do that because it would betray the trust of the heroine's brother, Wes. Wes is Bobby's best friend and warned Bobby that he better never go to bed with his "little" sister. OK, this brings me to the heroine. I put in my header that I think she's irritating, and here's why: SB, through this heroine, brings up the well-known fact that in the big, bad city, women often feel unsafe. Colleen hates being leered at and her body commented on by men. She is a "stacked" 23-year-old, the kind of woman that gets lots of whistles and catcalls. So what does she do about that sort of thing? Mainly just resent and ignore it. She chooses to live and work in a very bad part of town, and she takes no precautions at all for her safety or the safety of any other women she knows and works with. Not only does she have no knowledge of self-defense (which you'd think her overprotective SEAL brother would have insisted she get years ago), but she has no basic common sense either. Her only "weapons" are charm and refusing to back down even when faced with a threatening group of men. (When that second technique worked, it was only because, unknown to her, Bobby was standing behind her giving his mean face to this fearful gang--and even this obvious proof that her "technique" didn't work didn't wake her up.) More insanity: Colleen actually sleeps with the windows wide open in her apartment, with a fire escape right beneath one of them. And when Bobby is mad about her death wish, she just laughs at him, as if personal safety is a joke. Also, even though a woman she works with was put in a coma from being beat up by mutual enemies, the heroine refuses to take any precautions because she won't take the threat seriously. On top of that, she plans to go into a war-torn Middle-eastern country filled with genocidal terrorists to help neglected, mixed-race orphans--which, OK, sounds noble on the face of it. But...the idiot is dragging along 11 other civilians as dumb as her about safety. AND, to make it worse, she refuses to even consider that Bobby, who insists on going along and has gotten a SEAL team to protect them, might know more about safety than she, and that she should defer to him to save her butt. No way. Her independence is all, even at the cost of her life and that of others. What a jerk! I think that it is great that romance heroines are getting stronger all the time, but this woman is suicidally cocky. How does this presentation of a "strong" woman help women? The answer is, it doesn't. I believe SB needs to read Gavin DeBecker's Gift of Fear and Beauty Bites Beast before she writes her next book and get real about what strong women really look like. Maybe then she can give us a heroine who exists for more in a story (other than sex scenes with the hero) than to stupidly put herself and others in danger so the big, bad SEAL hero can save her from herself.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Waited patiently for this book...a bit disappointing. Review: I can sum up my thoughts in one word: Average. I have given high marks to most of Ms. Brockmann's books but this one fell a little flat for me. The main problem I had with this book was the plot. Was there one? Faux and dangerous third world country....bland characters that we didn't really get to know. The whole premise of this book centered around Taylor not wanting to sleep with Wes's sister....and then? Nothing! Well, Taylor does get his girl, unfortunately you may have to do alot of reading between the lines in this one. The book is peppered with phrases like this, "he uttered an expletive", or "he uttered Wes's favorite adjective". Hello? What expletive? What adjective? Why must we play guessing games? Even when the hero/heroine finally get together, something is uttered but unfortunately only the author is privy to this utterance. I am assuming that the Silhouette/Harlequin powers that be are afraid that our simple minds can't take four letter words. This habit of not saying what you mean, especially in a book about Navy Seals is very distracting. Note to Harlequin: words like ticked-off, dirt-wad, dang ect.... are silly. Ms. Brockmann is a prolific writer and even with the annoying lack of substance, this book, because of her writing still is worth a look.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Very entertaining Review: I enjoyed this book very much. I have enjoyed the entire series and while this wasn't my absolute favorite, it was still very good. I especially like how the author give updates about the characters from her other books. Can't wait for the next one.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Another great TDD book!!! Review: I have read all of Suzanne Brockmann's TDD books and can't really chose a favorite one! Taylor's Temptation lives up to the TDD name!! Other reviewers have wrote storyline information so I won't do that but just say that this book is a welcome addition to my TDD books on the shelf!!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: ONE OF THE BEST OF the TALL, DARK, And DANGEROUS Review: I have recently read alot of Suzanne Brockmann, and I have to say that this book of her Tall, Dark and Dangerous series is the best that I have read so far. Bobby Taylor is a great character and being a redhead myself, Colleen Skelly is whom every women should strive to be. Talk about a backbone and daring. She goes after what she wants. I love Suzanne Brockmann and eagerly await any of her new novels. READ THIS BOOK!!!!
