When navy SEAL lieutenant Alan Francisco's leg is hit by a bullet, it seems his career is shot to pieces, as well. He has every intention of wallowing in self-pity, but there are two reasons he can't: his five-year-old niece, whose sudden presence adds the word "daddy" to his resume, and his attractive next-door neighbor, who is determined to help him heal his leg and his...more

Suzanne Brockmann’s Tall, Dark and dangerous series is in the process of being re-released as 2-for-1’s with fancy new (and quite sexy) covers. And I have to tell you I am now all about the SEALs and can’t put this series down. These well written quickie romances are each just different enough that they all feel fresh and unique while still connected as a whole, with delicious alpha male heroes and just the right amount of suspense action and melodrama to keep you coming back for more.

Alan “Frisco” Francisco is the 3rd SEAL to have his story told and he hit my soft spot as he’s the tortured hero we’ve been hearing about since he was injured during a mission in book 1 Prince Joe. Five years have passed since then and Frisco has undergone numerous operations and extensive rehab trying to repair his shattered knee, Told that he would never get out of his wheelchair, Frisco’s had it all along in his mind that one day he would return to active duty. After all if he can’t perform as a member of the SEAL team then what good is he to anybody?

When we begin Frisco has just been let go from rehab, being told that he’s as fixed as he’s ever going to get. He refuses to accept this news or the job he was just offered teaching upcoming SEALs. Frustrated, angry and in constant pain Frisco retreats to his seldom used 2nd floor condo in San Felipe and hit’s the bottle. What the hell is he going to do with the rest of his life now? Before long we are introduced to Frisco’s well meaning and of course beautiful neighbour Mia Appleton, she’s a teacher and wants very little to do with her rude and often drunk neighbour. Cringing as she watches him struggle up the stairs, leaning heavily on his cane unwilling to accept her or anyone’s help.

When Frisco’s wayward sister shows up on her way to detox and leaves her 5 year old daughter Natasha in his care he feels helpless. What does he know about kids and how on earth is he going to look after this neglected little girl. Now I’m not one for children in my romances but this situation worked for me as Frisco never baby talked her and their interactions were often comical. ‘Tasha’ draws Mia and another neighbour Thomas (who I hope to see more of) into the fold, filling Frisco’s life with obligations and meaning.

When Mia sees how he is with Tasha she re-evaluates her opinion of him and a friendship soon develops. However as the two grow closer and it appears that Mia might have genuine feelings for him Frisco begins to panic, what could he possibly offer this beautiful woman? He’s disabled, a shell of the man he used to be and with some very dark demons to work thorough. She deserves so much more; she deserves a man that’s whole. (Or possibly me!)

As Frisco pushes Mia away trouble comes calling, in the form of his sisters nasty ex boyfriend who’s looking for the money she stole. Kidnapping, gunplay, car chases, love scenes and hand to hand fighting ensues and (thankfully) Frisco finally learns to ask for help so the rest of Alpha team shows up as well. And here Brockmann cleverly gives us tidbits of information on our former heroes while enticing us with new ones whose stories are yet to come.

This was a fantastic read that I can see myself coming back to again and I definitely recommend this series.

An oldie but a goodie! Great story about a former SEAL dealing with a life changing knee injury, and a kind-hearted neighbor lady who helps him become whole again. Add in a cute 5 year old girl, a likable and smart mouthed teen, plus a bad guy and a few SEALs buddies and you have a great Brockmann romance story with lots of sizzle. It was a quick read (240 pages), but it packed a lot of heat and heart. I can see why Frisco is considered one of Brockmann's favorite heros.

I can't believe I actually cried reading this book. Brockmann writes flawed heroes so well, flawed and hurting in a very realistic, heart-tugging way.

Frisco's journey to acceptance of his career-changing injury and learning that sometimes the toughest thing one can do is to decide to live sucked me in from the beginning. He is drawn so realistically that I can actually feel his pain. He has a great heroine that is just the right touch of softness and sternness. Threw in a bad guy, some Navy Seal...more

I'd sit down and read her books, chart graphs of her story arcs and note how she keeps the reader involved. I'd want to copy her characterisations, where every single character, no matter how marginal is important. I'd need to try and get the rapport between men of a certain age (mid thirties), of a certain mindset (Navy, US Seals), with a major dollop of pop culture references both past and present that prevents the situations from getting too 'heavy', and wonder if I too could borrow shades of Louis L'amour for that curt, tension filled writing when the action scenes are needed.

Because I don't want to be a writer when I grow up, I can only glory in the fact that Brockmann writes for women like me, and I spent money on her books because I know that I'm going to enjoy them.

So, here's the plot.

After five years of intensive therapy on a bum knee, Alan 'Frisco' Francisco has been given his walking papers to leave the Navy. See yah, wouldn't want to be yah. Of course, Frisco takes the news hard, and retreats to his condo in California, and is torn between accepting his fate, and getting stinking drunk.

But before he can do that, Sharon, his sister gives her daughter (Natasha) to Frisco for safe keeping, because she has to serve a DUI (if it weren't for bad luck, eh Frisco?). Mia, his winsome next door neighbour is a peacenik (and all that implies) and the thought of sharing her complex with a soldier (she doesn't really understand what a Navy SEAL is, bless), but her heart goes out to his niece and she tries to help Frisco to adjust to his situation in the best way that she can.

Of course, because Ms Brockmann seems to like her action, there's a subplot of money laundering, alcoholism, a local hood making trouble and the SEALS lending a helping hand that really works.

Although this book was written over a decade ago, it's still fresh, almost crisp. You can see Ms Brockmann straining to be away from the limitations of the romance genre into gen fic.

Not many writers can make that transition, so y'all wanna be romance writers better read, and make note.

For us who actually like men in uniform (not lust, but really like 'em), Brockmann is tops.

Highly recommended. (less)

The books were fun - I love Brockmann's writing and story-telling, and generally have enjoyed all the books she's written. This one is no different, and I think it got a great treatment with narrator Lauren Fortgang.

In this story, former Navy SEAL Allen Francisco, AKA Frisco, is still trying to get his knee back in shape so he can be on active duty again - he can't accept that the accident 5 years ago destroyed his knee and he's lucky to even be walking. He feels he's only half a man if he is no longer a SEAL, and considers following in his father's footsteps by drinking himself into oblivion. But his sister Sharon has already beat him to it - to avoid jail, she has to enter a rehab program, leaving her 5-year-old daughter in Frisco's care for several weeks.

Enter two important people - the cute next-door neighbor Mia, and his sister Sharon's ex-boyfriend. It seems Sharon swindled the thug out of $50,000 and he'll do anything - beat up a cripple and kidnap a kid if necessary - to make it clear he wants his money. So - we have Frisco, feeling unworthy and impotent (uh, wrong choice of words) and an overweight felon - enough conflict? Yeppers - add in his falling for but messing up the relationship with Mia, and you've got a romance salad.

Fortgang does a bang-up job with the narration - I like her style and most of her characterizations. I had 2 quibbles; ok, 3: the voice for college-aged Thomas was pitched too high; the voice for poor Lucky, the one who got the really bad Pillsbury doughboy cover for his book, was really pitched too high and made to sound too goofy (how unsexy is that?); and the last 20% or so of the book, I think Fortgang was suffering from allergies and a stuffed nose. Imagine having to pronounce Allen, Mia and Natasha (allad/bia/datasha) with a stuffed nose - then imagine having to listen to it.

Those are really just nitpicks though - I enjoyed it. (less)

Am Anfang habe ich Suzanne Brockmann überhaupt nicht zugetraut, dass sie mich so in den Bann ziehen könnte, nun ist es doch geschehen.

Der dritte Band "Für einen Kuss von Frisco" ist für mich bislang der beste Teil, was vor allem an der Steigerung beim Schreibstil und den Charakteren liegt. Die Geschichte liest sich flüssig und zu Teil auch spannend und die Autorin schafft es immer mehr, die richtigen Worte zu finden.

"Für ein Kuss von Frisco" ist nicht nur der bislang beste Band, sondern auch der emotionalste. Die Autorin hat den Charakteren sehr viele Ecken und Kanten gegeben, ihre Gefühle und Gedanken werden sehr gut geschildert und somit war es für mich sehr leicht, Frisco und Mia in mein Herz zu schließen.

Frisco hat sich bei einem Einsatz verletzt, die Verletzungen sind sogar so schwerwiegend, dass er nicht mehr in der Navy arbeiten kann. Er wird dadurch depressiv und lässt keinen Menschen mehr wirklich an sich heran - bis er Mia trifft. Dazu gibt es immer wieder Rückblicke auf seine Vergangenheit, die ebenfalls alles andere als leicht war. Wenn man diese mit seiner Gegenwart vergleicht, kann man schon verstehen, wieso er auf einmal so stur und verbittert ist. Mia ist eine unglaublich liebenswerte Protagonistin, die das Herz auf dem richtigen Fleck hat und weiß, was sie im Leben will. Sie versucht immer mehr, Frisco aus seinem Kummer herauszuholen und gibt trotz so mancher Niederlage nicht auf.
Obwohl es die Beiden zunächst alles andere als leicht haben, ist es doch sehr vorhersehbar, was am Ende aus Mia und Frisco wird, allerdings ist der Weg bis dahin sehr schön und spannend geschrieben.

Auffällig ist jedoch, dass in diesem Band deutlich weniger Thrillerelemente als sonst vorkommen und dafür mehr auf die Liebe gesetzt wird. Für Fans von Romanticthriller ist dies sicherlich enttäuschend, ich fand es dagegen großartig, da es zu den Charakteren besser gepasst hat.

Einen riesengroßen Pluspunkt gibt es für die Darstellung von Frisco, der alles andere als der knallharte Navy Seal ist. In den ersten beiden Bänden habe ich die Darstellung der Navy und dessen Seals noch relativ hart kritistiert, hier war es jedoch sehr angenehm und es wurde nicht allzu übermenschlich oder patriotisch dargestellt. Hoffentlich bleibt sich Suzanne Brockmann dieser Linie nun treu.

Das Cover gefällt mir unglaublich gut. Die Farben sind gut ausgewählt und die Szene, in der Mia und Frisco dargestellt werden, wirkt unglaublich sinnlich. Die Kurzbeschreibung ist ebenfalls gelungen. Sie enthält das Wichtigste und macht Lust auf mehr.

Insgesamt ist "Für ein Kuss von Frisco" der bislang beste Band der "Operation Heartbreaker"-Reihe. Suzanne Brockmann konnte sich erneut steigern und mich mit zwei sehr sympathischen Protagonisten in den Bann ziehen. Ich werde der Reihe weiterhin treu bleiben und freue mich schon auf die nächsten Bände.(less)

This is my favorite of the series so far. It takes the wounded hero theme, and gives it the treatment it deserves. The hero's pain, shame and feelings of worthlessness are so well described, but in a way that doesn't make him seem less attractive or less of a hero, no matter how he sees himself. The heroine is also great - it's nice to have a heroine who has real insights into people, and is just a genuinely nice person.
