Get Lucky (Tall, Dark & Dangerous #9)
LUCKY...IN LOVE?
An unlikely state of affairs. For Navy SEAL Lucky O'Donlon was the original love-'em-and-leave-'em guy. Used to women swooning at his feet. So how could it be that the frustratingly attractive journalist Sydney Jameson had nothing to offer him but one very cold shoulder?
Well, two could play at this game. But first things first--he and Sydney had a job to do

Opening Line: “All early-morning conversation in Captain Joe Catalanotto’s office stopped dead as everyone turned to look at Lucky.”
You really can’t go wrong with any of the books from Suzanne Brockmann’s Tall Dark and Dangerous series. Each is well written with a delicious alpha male hero and just the right amount of action, suspense and melodrama to keep you coming back for more. All the stories are loosely connected (following Seal Team 10’s Alpha squad members) yet still different enough tha...more

more like 3.5...but gotta round down (sorry!)
So I haven't read any of Suzanne Brockmann's books before but I heard some good things about this one so I thought I'd try it out.
So since this story is part of a series I had to ignore a lot of the back-stories that kept popping up on previous couples in this series which wasn't a problem except I got so confused by the shear amount of them I got somewhat annoyed by the end of it and pretended they were random side characters rather than a group so...more

Hach, ich weiß gar nicht genau wo ich eigentlich anfangen soll oder wie ich überhaupt meine Begeisterung für dieses Buch bennen soll, denn es ist auf jeden Fall eines meiner Favoriten der Reihe.
Luke "Lucky" O'Donlon ist der Typische ... ja um es mit Worten der Protagonistin zu sagen: Ken. Wer jetzt denke: "Hä? Ken?" Ja, genau. Der Ken von Barbie und Ken! Er ist der Schönling seines Seal Teams, den Alpha Squad, und so zieht er mit seinen strahlenden blauen Augen, blonden Haaren und unendlichem Ch...more

Loved, loved, loved this one! Navy SEAL Luke "Lucky" O'Donlan has been swaggering through nearly all of the Tall, Dark, and Dangerous books, doing his SEAL team ten stuff with aplomb and loving and leaving women at the speed of light. I really didn't like him all that much, though I wouldn't have turned down the chance to gaze at him adoringly drool uncontrollably ahem, watch him leave the pool after swimming laps. He seemed like a great team member, a fantastic friend, and a true serial dater....more
The cover makes me want to weep. Its just so terrible. Lucky is supposed to be good looking and the Sydney is supposed to dress in loose fitting clothing. I hate when the cover of the book has absolutely nothing to do with the story or the characters at all. *grumble* It was pretty good though. After reading a lot of the books in the series I'm a bit meh towards them now.
This is one was rather surprisingly good. Luke "Lucky" O'Donlon has been in the background since the beginning of the series. Most of the time he was this very shallow, playing the field guy that I didn't think I would like as the main character but I was wrong.
Brockmann actually plays on that impression with a humor and a playfulness that makes Lucky human and quite an appealing hero. The female lead is one of the series stronger female lead. She has a wicked sense of humor (she nicknames Lucky...more

One of my favorites of the TT&D series. Lucky figures out that he's not all that and turns into a real boy. The mystery of the rapist and the way they find him is well done and realistic. The emotions are real and you get to see almost all the characters from the other books. The end scene where they rush to save the heroine is very touching and Lucky really goes all out to save her and then to convince her he loves her. He puts his ego right out there for all to see. Very well done.
It took me a little while to warm up to Lucky, but by the end I really liked him. The plot also had a bit more substance to it than the previous Tall Dark and Dangerous installment, but it still doesn't compare to any of the Troubleshooters books. Although I have to say that I do like that Suzanne Brockmann doesn't torture her couples as much in this earlier series as she tends to in the Troubleshooters. Anyway, this is a good read, but nothing great.
Book #9 - Get Lucky
I’m finding that anything Ms Brockmann puts down on paper, I’m devouring. Another one that I LOVE!
Happy-go-lucky Luke aka Lucky become quite serious when a rapist is terrorising the women on base.
Heart broke for Blue, as one can imagine...hearing the news of a loved one badly harmed, no plane, train or car is ever fast enough...
They say the best husbands are the reformed Playboys right???

A spicy romance novel where a handsome Navy SEAL and a plucky, unconventionally beautiful, investigative reporter team up to catch a...serial rapist. I think at this point in the series, the author was trying to keep herself interested by thinking up the least sexy plots possible and making them work within the rigid framework of a mainstream romance novel.
If you like the Tall, Dark and Dangerous books, you won't want to miss this one. This new cover is a significant improvement over the first edition, btw.
Lucky starts out a little hard to love, until we get to know him better along with this love interest. Tension mounts as the characters hunt for a serial rapist and no one is safe...

Like any of Suzanne Brockmann's TD&D books it was fantastic, but honestly the cover nearly killed it before I even read it.
Could they have any worse image of Lucky? I really don't think so.
This is a case where if I saw this book without knowing anything about the author or the series I wouldn't have picked it up.

For some reason I didn't really like Sydney. And the love story seemed to rush. I felt like Lucky dated Sydney to prove to himself that he was not shallow...in fact, if they ever did Get Lucky 2 (the movie maybe?) I think Sydney would leave Lucky to be with some hippie Philosophy professor. What do you think?
What I liked:
The scenes with the characters from the older books especially Lucy and Blue. And Joe and Ronnie. And Tasha and Thomas King.
The scene in Lucy's hospital room when Syd says she's worried.
The way Lucky asks Syd to marry him over the phone.
The way Lucky proposes again.

I feel like a broken record always giving Brockmann's books 5 stars but I really really loved it and I was worried because going in, I didn't like Lucky. I love how she weaves the past characters seemlessly in and out of the books. Really enjoyed!
Pretty good story, really good plot, I found our hero not so believable, a man used to mannequins and beauty queens who fell in love with a flat-chested jounalist? mmmmh. Lucky didn't feel real to me... but they story is really great!

Great storyline, as always, by Brockmann!
What a terrible cover, though! Suzanne Brockmann joked about it on her Facebook page, said she used to offer a "GET LUCKY Cover Fix-It Kit" on her website. Readers could send an SASE and she'd send back a smiley-face sticker and instructions as to how to apply it to the cover of their book!
The fix?

Sapa yg pernah mengira Lucky O'Donlon, pewira NAVY yang paling ganteng, ditolak mentah-mentah oleh seorang gadis yang sangat berbeda dengan tipe Lucky. Baca bagaimana perjuangan Lucky memenangkan hati wanita pujaannya
Lucky finally meets his match with Sydney Jameson. She doesn't believe anyone as good looking as him could fall for her so it takes some wooing on his part to show he does love her.
I didn't realize I'd read this until I'd bought it for the Kindle, but it was a great re-read. Fun story, likeable characters. I love Brockmann though.
The first book I ever read by Ms. Brockmann. How I'd missed her before this release, I have no idea. But after reading GET LUCKY...I was hooked for life.
Lucky meets his match in this installment of Suzanne Brockmans seal series. You have absoutely got to love these ment in uniform.
The cover of this book just sucks! The story on the other hand is lovely. I've certainly enjoyed this series so far.

Worst cover EVER! Supposed to be the best looking guy in the unit and he looks like a PUD in this cover. Yikes!
I liked Syd and her interactions with Lucky. I also liked the secondary plot, but it was flimsy.
Akhirnya si lucky jatuh cinta jg..tp sayang tokoh ceweknya kurang cantik menurutku..
