Opening Line: "Lieutenant Blue McCoy was the point man, leading the six other men of SEAL Team Ten's Alpha Squad across the marshlike ground."

Carter "Blue" McCoy is the 2nd of Brockmann's Navy Seals to have his story told in the Tall Dark and Dangerous series and I have to say I am loving these men. Feeling a little bit like dessert these well written romances are short, super addictive and each just different enough that the stories always feel fresh. With delicious alpha male heroes, fantastic...more

I deserve a medal for finishing this book. It pushed practically all of my rage buttons.

Let's start with the heroine. Lucy is an insult to all women who work hard to succeed in traditionally male-dominated careers. It's as if Suzanne Brockmann designed Lucy to prove that women are too weak, foolish, and emotional to be effective cops. Lucy makes one stupid decision after another, consistently defying protocol and common sense. Every decision she makes throughout the whole book is emotionally-dri...more

Who is Joe, when you can have Blue? Well, I liked Joe, but I have to admit Blue was more interesting to me even with the sandals on and the story didn't feel that anticliamtic as the first one.

When I read the first pages I thought I wouldn't like it, cos Blue and Lucy were getting it on and I'm really glad that it didn't come to that, cos I'm usually not very fond of books when the two main characters are get it on right from the start, because I want the suspense and the tension. And yes, I wa...more

"Für immer - Blue" ist der zweite Band der "Operation Heartbreaker"-Reihe. Nachdem ich vom ersten Band eher mäßig begeistert war, wollte ich die Reihe noch nicht aufgeben und dem zweiten Band eine Chance geben. Zum Glück habe ich dieses Buch gelesen, denn die Reihe wird tatsächlich besser.

Suzanne Brockmann bleibt sich ihrem Stil treu, denn die Geschichte wird nach dem gleichen Schema erzählt: Mann und Frau treffen sich, Mann arbeitet natürlich wieder fürs Militär und die Liebe entfacht ziemlich...more

Forever Blue is the story of Alpha Team Ten SEAL Carter "Blue" McCoy--a fitting second story in the series for the team's second in command. Most of the novel takes place back in Blue's hometown in South Carolina while he is on leave, so we hear more about the other team members' through their recounted past exploits than we actually see them in the novel. When first we saw Blue in Prince Joe, he was bemoaning the fact that his high school sweetheart was going to marry his stepbrother Gerry. As...more

Police officer Lucy Tait tries to ignore the attraction she has always felt for Navy Lieutenant Blue McCoy when he's suspected of murdering his step-brother. It soon becomes obvious that someone is determined to see Blue hang for the crime, no matter what it might take. Blue is a man who learned early to keep his own counsel. Not even his SEAL team members know everything about him, except for Joe Cat (Prince Joe). Lucy is the first woman who doesn't seem to want something from him.

I really don'...more

I read this one as part of a two-fer...I didn't realize when I checked out this Brockman novel that it was Tall Dark and Dangerous 1 AND 2. So, I got to read about Joe Cat and Blue back to back. This one had a lot of similarities to the first one...except Blue needed Lucy's help a lot more than Joe needed Veronica's. Blue was in a more extreme situation with the plot against him. Lucy's loyalty was really amazing...she basically took on the whole town to defend her man (who wasn't even her man y...more

Book #2 - Forever Blue

The more I read the more I am falling in love with these men!

Big Navy Seal back in his hometown accused of murder. The only one who believes in his innocence is a girl that has had a crush on him her entire life, pretty much. There are great chemistry between the two characters and just plain adorable. (can a Seal be adorable???)

Even though the rest of the Alpha Squad isn’t involved, it is still a wonderful read.

Suzanne Brockmann is a magnificent story teller. Her characte...more

I thought this book was absolutely wonderful! A good, strong hero -- a Navy SEAL, Blue McCoy -- and a good, strong heroine -- Lucy Tait, a rookie cop -- meet again after many years. When Blue is accused of murdering his stepbrother, Lucy is the only person who believes he is innocent of the crime. As they work together to discover the truth, the attraction between them grows.
Krista (One Love) (Critical)
So, the book was simple and pretty short, kind of a surface book, but I liked it a lot.

The characters were likable and had great chemistry. Lucy was a pretty typical heroine, snarky and proud and stubborn and bad-tempered. Blue was pretty original. I liked that he didn't talk much to anyone except Lucy. That was adorable. I really liked hearing about the relationships between Blue and the other Navy SEALS, and wish they all could have played a bigger role. The prologue seemed completely irrelev...more

The second in her Tall, Dark and Dangerous series was also a quick yet satisfying read. I loved Blue and I enjoyed Lucy's direct honesty. The murder plot was kind of unbelievable...the fact that supposedly none of the police knew that SEALS were trained killers in martial arts or that Blue wouldn't ask for help from the SEALS even after being charged was a struggle to accept. Even the way Lucy became a police officer was kind of unbelievable...but hey, it's an Harlequin Romance. I loved the chem...more

I really liked this book. It had both a great hero and heroine. I thought their relationship was realistically developed. I had only one issue, the heroine held on to one belief just a little too long for my liking. But it worked in the story and that being my only complaint - I am a happy reader this evening!

I did read this out of order. It wasn't dependent on the first book, but does have overlapping characters and follows a timeline. I am likely to go back to read the first and continue with...more

Navy SEAL Blue McCoy returns home to attend his stepbrother's wedding...he's marrying Blue's high school sweetheart. Blue meets Lucy Tait soon after he arrives and, unbeknownst to him, she's had a crush on him since she was 15. She agrees to attend the wedding with him, which signals the start of something new for both of them. Blue gets embroiled in trouble and relies on policewoman Lucy to help him out of a very tough situation.

You find yourself liking Lucy from the very start and root for her...more

I read this book right after Prince Joe. It is about Blue who is Joe Cat's best friend and Swim Buddy in the Navy SEALS. The setting is in a small town in SC, where Blue is accused of murder. The book has great romance, some well-written sex scenes, and action. I enjoyed this book, and will continue to read the series. If you enjoy military romance (not too much strategic warfare stuff) then you will enjoy this series. I like learning about the NAVY SEALS and the training they endure.
Kay
I can certainly agree with the rave reviews Ms. Brockmann has received for her Navy SEALs series. She is a magnificent story teller. Her characters come alive and the suspense and action keep you reading on and on. Add in a sizzling romance, and this is one of those books I know I'll be wanting to read again and again.

I am sort of surprised that I finished this one, there was so much that annoyed me. The whole conspiracy with the town was so very obvious and not very original. Lucy was slightly interesting, I did like how blunt she was. Blue was so blah, for a big tough guy on an elite SEAL team I found that surprising. I was annoyed with both of them fixating on Jenny Lee, but for different reasons. I was glad that this one was short.

Sukaaaa banget sama Blue McCoy dan Lucy Tait :)
Ceritanya juga aku suka. Meskipun aku penasaran sama nasib Jenny Lee Beaumont selanjutnya.

Ini quote favoritku :

"Kau bukan pengecut. Pengecut tidak terus
melakukan sesuatu yang membuatnya ketakutan
setengah mati. Pengecut pasti berhenti. Hanya orang yang sangat kuat dan sangat berani yang terus bertahan menghadapi ketakutan."
-Lucy Tait-

I had such high hopes with this book. I liked the characters in Forever Blue much more than the characters in Prince Joe, but there was that incident with the stepbrother and the slide into being unprofessional once again. I do not understand why the characters are unable to delay their need for gratification when they’ve worked so hard for their professional positions and for their reputations.

At first, I worried that Lucy and Blue were going to just jump into a relationship given the first chapter. Instead, there was a great suspense storyline when Blue's stepbrother was killed--and the police suspected Blue--and Lucy tried to prove him innocent. Great suspense storyline and a decent romance to back it up. A very quick read once the suspense kicks up a notch.
Michelle
This was a great book. It was a little dated since it was from mid-90s, but Blue was a fabulous hero - strong, sexy & capable. Lucy was a bit of an enigma.... I didn't quite buy her being a police officer, even a rookie. But I loved her steadfastness when it came to Blue. One of the more romantic Brockmann books!

พระเอกเป็น Navy SEAL ที่ออกจะสุดขั้วไปหน่อย แต่งเครื่องแบบติดเข็มเต็มยศไปงานแต่งงานพี่ชายแต่ดันใส่รองเท้าแตะเนี่ยรับไม่ไหว

นางเอกตกหลุมรักพระเอกตั้งแต่ตอนวัยรุ่นแล้วก็ไม่ได้เจอกันอีกเลย ผ่านมาหลายปีก็ยังรักอยู่

เนื้อเรื่องสนุกน่าติดตาม ฉากโรแมนซ์ก็ไม่ผิดหวัง แต่ก็ยังประทับใจ Prince Joe มากกว่า

Lo Adore! Blue eres un amor! llore cuando estuvieron en el estanque! ahhhahaha para mi fue demasiado romántico! hasta ahora uno de mis favoritos aunque el primero no se queda atrás creo que es un empate! xD lol.... es increíble lo vuelvo a decir AMO EL ROMANCE CONTEMPORÁNEO

I loved the story of the Yankee girl finally getting her Southern man. And, as a so-called Yankee, I gotta say, us girls from the North just know how to do things better.
(view spoiler)[ the plot about the corrupt police and business men is something that you find in everyday life, especially nowadays. It is definalty a relateable story. The main problem was the lack of twists in the book. Everything was pretty much cut and dried.... you could tell that the Tobacco King was in charge of the whol...more

I debated between rating this a 2 or a 3. It definitely was obvious that it is one of Suzanne Brockmann's earlier works. I liked the "whodunit" aspect of the book, but the rest of it was pretty corny.
Maryori
Se desarrolla a un ritmo bastante bueno, una historia bastante original, lucharon por lo que querían hasta que lo obtuvieron, tiene mucha personalidad y es lectura ligera, como para arrancarnos las preocupaciones universitarias *cof* *cof*
Deanna
I enjoyed this, easy read! Sweet story and interesting mystery. But the Epilogue left a little to be desired.... Sandals? Really? Will still look into any other books to see what happens to the rest of Blue's SEAL team, oh how the mighty fall LOL

Questo è il secondo libro della Brockmann che leggo .. e non ha assolutamente deluso le aspettative !! Autrice bravissima come sempre , storia molto coinvolgente , personaggi fantastici ... e libro magnifico !! ;)
Laura
I think the best part about this one is the point being made that while a SEAL seems totally like Superman, they are normal men. Beyond that, a standard romance novel in my opinion.
