Opening Line: “Navy Seal Chief Bobby Taylor was in trouble.”This is my favourite book from the whole series… Hmmm haven’t I said that before? (The Admirals Bride, Prince Joe, Frisco, Hawken) Anyways this one was super good. You really can’t go wrong with any of the books from Suzanne Brockmann’s Tall Dark and Dangerous series though. They’re all well written, with to-die-for Navy SEAL heroes (who usually shed a tear in the name of love) and just the right amount of action, suspense and sweet, sw...
I usually enjoy Brockmann's books a lot, but she can be uneven and has written a handful of stinkers. Unfortunately, this was one of them. It had the single least convincing romantic obstacle I've encountered in romance so far, and that's including Brockmann's own "Because I'm your boss... in this civilian temp job that you don't even need."Navy SEAL Bobby Taylor, on leave after being wounded on a mission, is dispatched by his teammate and best buddy Wes to convince Wes's civilian little sister
Hero fabulous, heroine very irritatingI am a huge fan of SB. I've read all her books. 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...
4.5 stars.
This is Bobby Taylor time to shine and get his girl. She happens to be the sister of his best friend and SEAL partner West which brings out all sort of guilt, embarrasment and fear. Fear of losing his best friend, fear of not being good enough, fear of hurting the one person he really doesn't want to hurt. Ever. Bobby despite his huge physique and Brockmann does describe the man in length comes across as a man very conscious of his impact on others. Brockmann writes one of the most interesting c...
(Probably more of a 3 1/2 stars....) Taylor's story was pretty good; the falling in love with best friend's sister storyline is always good for angst. It's just that both Taylor and Colleen seemed to be a bit too clueless for too long about too many things (Colleen about why Taylor was hesitating--seriously, best friend's little sister? You don't have to be Einstein to figure that one out--both of them about their true motivations and feelings, etc.) but overall it was a quick, enjoyable read. N...
still re-reading old favourites. love Ms Brockmann's work and love Seal Team Ten. great audio versions. well worth listening to. the basic plots are a bit repetitive but they are well executed with enough variation to keep each story interesting.
SEXY SEALS!!!!
The phone sex was AMAZING!!!
The book had a good plot, and was not that bad, but something was missing.
Brockmann's Tall, Dark & Dangerous series is addictive fluff.
Still working my way through the TDD series by Brockmann.In this story, we get the earlier rendition of the Troubleshooter's Gina Vitagliano (sp?). Only this version is very Irish, not very Italian. She still has scads of brothers, is very much about her 'causes' (women's shelters, AIDs centers, war-torn countries with orphaned children, etc.), and she's still absolutely smitten with a man who's much older than her who wants her but doesn't want her. It's Gina, only Colleen Skelly - the Irish Gi...
Unable to talk sense into his sister, Wes Skelly begs his best friend and SEAL partner, Bobby Taylor, to go to Boston and talk to Colleen in person. She is planning to join a relief mission to Tulgeria, a country overrun with terrorists. Bobby has been attracted to Colleen for years, yet refuses to act on it, considering it a betrayal of his friendship with Wes. Colleen, equally attracted, considers that crap. A brutal attack on one of Colleen's clients has Bobby worried that she could be next,
Bobby Taylor is a Navy SEAL. He's best friends with Wes, whose little sister has always intrigued Bobby. And she's had a secret crush on him since her teens. But when Bobby is asked by Wes to pay a visit to Colleen Skelly, he doesn't realize he's in deep doo-doo when she crooks her little finger and lets him know in myriad ways that she'd love him to climb into her bed--with her! What's Bobby to do? He knows Wes will kill him if he touches Colleen, but her charms are difficult--really impossible...
I’ve never understood the trope where a best friend’s sister is off-limits. I can see avoiding it if all you want is sex, but if you love the woman, wouldn’t your friend want a good man, someone they know well and respect, for their sister? I liked both of these characters but I’m having a hard time tolerating the brother, Wes. Bobby has been written as someone with a bit of class, but Wes has been written as fairly disrespectful towards women. It’s very unattractive.
i LOVE THIS SERIE, AND i JUST ADORED BOBBY AND COLLEEN AND HER BROTHER WES; i LOVED HER STRONG CHARACTER AND MIND?BUT ALSO HER INCERTANITIES? HER FIERNESS IN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. SUZANNE BROCKMANN IS ABLE TO BRING TEARS OF JOY AND LAUGH AND EMOTION WITHIN SOME PAGES; MY FAV IS TILL FRISCO' KID BUT I DID REALLY ENJOY THE WHOLE SERIE
This book was not near as good as Get Lucky. The whole book is basically about Colleen wanting Bobby and Bobby being afraid to give in b/c of his friendship with her brother Wes. But they secretly love each other. I liked the characters — just not much plot.
Review of Kindle Edition, reissue of 2001 short contemporary romanceBobby Taylor is a mammoth man, six-foot-six and built like a wrestler. He is handsome, with Native American ancestry, and a long, sexy braid. Though he is a fierce Navy SEAL, he is gentle and protective toward all women, but especially Colleen Skelly. Though she is a grown woman of 23, currently in law school and extremely strong and independent, Colleen's brother Wes, who is a fellow SEAL, the same age as Bobby, and Bobby's bes...
What do you do when you find you are in love with your best friend's sister?
Selling for credit .. not one that i like. Colleen is my problem here. Horrible cover too.
Was ok, I didn't really like that heroine was the pursuer but makes sense with who the hero is and how resistant he was (she was just so blatant and over the top with it). Np
Fit into 2018 ATY #26. text only cover.

Ok, Just to be clear I read this book at Suzanne Brockmann's Tall, Dark and Deadly series it's just that I read the first book over a year ago and I am between books so decided to read book 2 of this 3 book set. Now why did I do that. This shit fell off a cliff, exploded, was charred so badly as to be unrecognizable from her other books. This book features Nave SEAL Bobby Taylor and Colleen Skelly as the central characters. Bobby is best friends with Wes Skelly and they have been basically joine...
Books about Navy SEALs are popular. So much so, that I wouldn’t be surprised if there were way more fictional SEALs that real ones. I don’t really get it, but then, I don’t enjoy romantic suspense much and these SEAL books are all romantic suspense. This book gets a pass on my normal worries (that romance built in times of intensity is at least partially based on those intense times and I need EXTRA proof that what the characters are building is going to last. And no, a happy epilogue is not pro...
Bobby Taylor is a Navy SEAL who has had a crush on his best friend's sister for years. The sister, Coleen, has also had a crush on Bobby for just as long. Of course, neither knew how the other felt. Coleen tries to seduce Bobby but he rejects her because his friend has threatened to kill him if he touches his sister. Coleen is planning on going with a group of volunteers to a small war torn country. Her brother, Wes, has sent Bobby to talk Coleen out of this trip. When she won't be swayed from h...
Colleen was entirely too pushy - I started hating her about halfway through the book, and felt sorry for Bobby.
I have the Silhouette Intimate Moments version w/the purple spineLOVE this book - probably my favorite in this particular series, although I've nevr been disappointed by any of her books. I'm a Navy brat (dad & grandpa) and love SEAL heroes in books. Watch military channel w/my son every chance I get!Suzanne Brockmann does male dialogue well, and what's not to love about patriotic heroes? Bobby Taylor's in a bad spot. After getting wounded in LOD saving his best friend's life, said best friend c...
Taylor's Temptation by Suzanne BrockmannTDD #10Bobby Taylor & Colleen SkellyNavy Chiefs Bobby Taylor and Wes Skelly are best friends who practically read each others' minds--they are closer than brothers. Their teamwork is legendary. Wes is called OCONUS for an op right after hearing that his little sister has volunteered to visit an orphanage in war-torn and terrorist-ridden Tulgeria in just a few days. He begs Bobby to travel to Massachusetts to talk her out of going on the trip. Bobby's had a...
5 Stars! ~ Bobby Taylor has been attracted to his best friend's baby sister for awhile now. Wes has always told him that there'd be hell to pay if any of the SEALs ever went near Colleen. Bobby took a bullet in the shoulder for Wes during the last op. When Wes is called to duty, he asks Bobby to stop his sister from going on a Humanitary Aid mission in a soon to be war zone. Colleen's thrilled to finally have Bobby around without Wes. She's had a huge crush on him since she was 15 and now she's
