4.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Brockmann's heroes are always evolving......, Dec 8 2007

By	KatherineT (Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harvard's Education (Mass Market Paperback)

Harvard's Education by Suzanne Brockmann
Silhouette Intimate Moments # 884 - October 1998

Daryl aka Harvard is the only member of Alpha Squad that actually has had a very happy normal childhood. So happy that it's tearing him up when his parents decide to sell their home of 30 years off the coast of Boston to move to warmer climes. PJ's always had to work for everything. She's 5 foot 2, and 100 lbs. And no one on the CSF - Combined SEAL / FInCOM Antiterrorist team thinks she can handle the training missions. Harvard's fighting real hard to overcome his bias to women in combat and his overwhelming desire to protect and to make PJ his own. PJ's earned his respect and Harvard acknowledges that she's just as good as some of the men he's fought along side. When a training mission suddenly becomes very real and men are dying, Harvard has to give up his urge to protect PJ and agree to let her help him rescue his team mates.

Ms. Brockmann's heroes are always evolving. Harvard learns some valuable lessons and they add to his already remarkable strength of character. PJ is dynamite. She sometimes comes across as having a chip on her shoulder but we get to see her intelligence and compassion. These two definitely set some fires.

4.0 out of 5 stars What's with the cover?, Jul 15 2004

By	PATRICIA L FARRAR "aunti P" (MABLETON, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Harvard's Education (Mass Market Paperback)

I agree with the reviewer who had a complaint with Mira's cover for this book, but my complaint is different.Our hero is described as a large man, our heroine as a petite little thing. Yet the cover shows a silloutte (on the Mira reprint, no less) of what appears to be a mother with her pre-adolescent boy. The other Mira reissues boasted cover art which was much superior to the Sillouette originals- to the extent that I ordered new copies of both Prince Joe and Frisco's Kid just to get the better looking books.Fortunately, the stories inside are just as delicious, no matter how yucky or yummy the cover art. Do the people who decide on the cover art even know what the stories are about? Obviously they don't bother reading them.This seems to be a very common problem particularly in the Romance genre.That complaint aside, I do not want to discourage the reissue of further books in this series. It's the only way I'll ever be able to afford to collect the rest of the series. I'm still missing 5 of these, and the team 16 bunch are getting hard to find,too. Boo-hoo. Why didn't somebody tell me how great these books were before they got so hard to find?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story - Love thoses SEALS, Jul 14 2004

By	Tanya L. Schaub "TSchlaack" (Livermore, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Harvard's Education (Mass Market Paperback)

For eight weeks FInCOM agent P.J. Richards has been assigned as the only woman in a 4 member task force sent to train with the U.S. Navy SEALs, and she isn't about to let anyone tell her she can't hack it. P.J. can't afford to be distracted by anything or anyone, especially a Navy Seal named Senior Chief "Harvard" Becker, who seems to take pride in pointing out she should not be there.

Harvard believes that there is no room for women in a combat zone. It's too dangerous, too tough and especially in the case of P.J. too distracting. He respects her mind and especially her shooting ability but doesn't want to have to watch out for her and keep her alive. But his biggest distraction is his growing attraction to P.J. as a woman. But P.J. isn't a woman who backs down easily P.J. is determined to make this assignment work and fights the growing attraction she find with Harvard. But, can they both ignore it for much longer? And in the critical part of the book P.J. shows Harvard how helpful she can be in a crisis, both in love and doing her job

I thoroughly loved this one. I like strong woman characters who point out that they can be of help if they are trained correctly and listened to. This is a great addition to the Seal Team series!
