Excellent 3rd addition to her Seal Team 10 series. Alan "Frisco" Francisco is permanently disabled due to a firefight while with the SEALS. Despite the doctor's warnings, he is determined to achieve a recovery. There's no way he is going to accept offers of help from his neighbor Mia Summerton. He doesn't need anyone's help. Not preachy at all and it shows the hero is a good, honest light - someones who's dealing with a career ending injury.

Every book in this TDD series is amazing. Though I am years behind in reading this series, I've been able to catch up with almost all of the books because of PBS.
The SEAL heroes are magnificient, even though Frisco is an ex-SEAL, he is still part of the family of the rough and ready fraterity. Brockmann has a great way of steeping her adventure stories with wonderful heros, strong heroines and great emotional impact.
Don't forget your hankies when reading this book.

The first two books in this series were a bit lightweight, but this one is much meatier. I enjoyed the tortured, angry hero, who has to learn he can still be as much of a man even with physical disabilties.

She couldn't mend his wounded body . . . but could she heal his heart? Being a navy SEAL is more than a career to Alan "Frisco" Francisco -- it is his whole identity. But now a bullet has threatened that existence. How can he function in combat when he can barely walk? Still, despite the doctor's warnings, Frisco is determined to achieve a full recovery.
But the unexpected appearance of his abandoned niece leaves Frisco with little time for anything but dealing with the five-year-old girl. He knows even less about parenting than about how to mend his broken body. And there is no way he's going to accept offers of help from his neighbor Mia Summerton. He doesn't need anyone's help . . . not to care for his niece, not to learn to accept his limitations and certainly not to fall in love.

Poor broken Frisco! He is one of the best TD&D characters and he has a wonderful book. This is one of Brockmann's best in the series.

Forced to face the fact that he may lose his career as a Navy Seal because of a stray bullet, Alan Francisco, call sign "Frisco," takes it hard. But the hardest part of the situation has nothing to do with bullets; it has more to do with babies. When "Frisco's" 5 year old niece is abandonned on his door step, he has more than one man can handle. Will he allow his fetching neighbor Mia Summerton to help him or will he let pride get is his way ?
Excellent story. Well written, but could do without the r-rated parts.
Surprisingly engaging. I thought this would be shallow and predictable, well, it was predictable, but it was such fun "brain candy" that I enjoyed it and even laughed out loud once or twice. Cute, short, fun little read.
