Publisher's summary

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. They had to get their man.

Then there would be time enough for him to get his woman.

Fun

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! Fast moving, funny, enjoyable. Has some depth too.

Any additional comments?

The female lead is a smart and independent lady. ..she attracts and develops a friendship with the male lead due to being appointed to an investigative committee. At first he was a bit of a turkey, and she gets indignant at him when he tries to dazzle her into doing things his way by kissing her. She puts him in his place and he then has to work with her, not around her. I thought the development of their relationship made sense as Lucky gained some more depth of character as he experienced the anguish of awareness of the brutality of sexual assault. The plot was not totally predictable. I liked this book.

Another good one from Brockmann

Elizabeth Livingston = Hillary Huber. Thought the voice was familiar, so I went back to compare to one of Lara Adrian's books. Same voice.

Disappointing

It was slow moving, used too many descriptive words: A writer needs to effectively explain a particular place or situation without sounding like an ingredients enumeration. The words used should be engaging and easy to understand, and the sentence structure should keep you glued in and engaged to the story till the end.

The words were easy to understand, but sounded more like an ingredient list when explaining the handsomeness of Lucky, or Sid's attributes, which permeated the book, and too much time spent on what I call "filler words" with scenes that added nothing to the story, but, in fact, detracted from it. Not enough investigating for an INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER and Navy Seal heading up the INVESTIGATION. It would have made the story more interesting than hearing so much about Lucky's looks and charm.

I was disappointed.

Great Book in the Series

Where does Get Lucky rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

All of the Troubleshooters books are wonderful! I intend to buy them all for my library.

Very entertaining!

This book has wonderful characters and great suspense. I love the flow of the story. The narration is very good! Very enjoyable.

Enjoyable

Suzanne Brockman is one of my favorite authors. This book was not her best, but will not keep me from searching for more😯

Good Story

Entertaining with good storyline and strong MCs. I pretty much enjoyed the story from beginning to end. Tough subject matter.

Good Book

I really enjoyed the story but I didn't like the narrator. I am listening to the TDD series and have enjoyed all of the books.

This one is a keeper

Finally! A narrator with talent! Elizabeth puts the emotions behind the words. She distinguishes between characters in her delivery. The only error I noticed was that Melanie doesn’t have a southern accent as she is from rural Massachusetts lol nobody’s perfect. If you like this story it is safe to listen to this one.

Got lucky!
