New Years SEAL Dream

A Bone Frog Brotherhood Novella

By: Sharon Hamilton

Narrated by: JD Hart

Tucker Hudson has been off SEAL Team 3 for nearly 10 years. He reluctantly attends his former teammate’s wedding on New Year's Eve, vowing to keep his hands to himself and his mouth shut. Suffering nightmares from a tragic deployment, he barely left the teams with an honorable discharge. Romance is one complication he does not need. And no one needs him either: not the teams, not his family.

Brandy Cook knows she isn’t as attractive as the skinny blondes who usually attend SEAL weddings. Although she’s dieted for three months straight, she’s only managed to fit into a size 16 dress, and only then with the help of a monstrous undergarment that nearly prevents her from breathing. So when the big grey-haired former SEAL with a body built like Shrek takes a passing interest in her, she figures he’s been forced by a wager or some kind of trick.

But as the clock strikes midnight, the improbable happens and suppressed passions take over, ending in a steamy night neither will forget, but both will admit later was a huge mistake. When Brandy finds herself in trouble, Tucker turns out to be the only one who can keep her safe from the fury building around her world.

Can't wait for more

This short novella sets the storyline, plot, and character story perfectly for the full story, SEALed at the Alter, later. Tucker, a retired Navy SEAL, is a large, nicely built man who just can’t seem to find his right woman. His ideal woman isn’t your normal skinny girl. He likes his women with curves and a personality to match. Que Brandy, a beautiful curvy woman who’s as sweet as she is salty, and a LOT younger than Tucker. Brandy is tied down with the responsibility of family and isn’t looking for anything more than one night of pleasure. When Brandy and Tucker cross paths at a friend’s wedding, the two are drawn to one another. Will it just be one night, or will it be forever?

Although New Year SEAL Dream was short, it was satisfying. I can’t wait to dive into their story more and learn about the characters. I also appreciate that Sharon adds in appearances of other characters from her other stories.

Where will it go from here? This is the first audiobook of Sharon Hamilton’s that I have listened to. Narrator JD Hart has a smooth melodious voice that drew me in and held my attention while he voiced the various characters. I really enjoyed his reading of this story and look forward to hearing more from him!

Funtastic

There have been rimes in the past with other authers, that I have said to myself "Great. Here we go again. " Not this time. The writing was tight and allowed you to fall in love with the characters.

The narrator was smooth and added just the right amount of oomph. He neither read too fast or too slow. OMG he's the Goldilocks of the narrating world.

Cute

Really cute book about an older man and younger woman. He finds himself changing what he wants in his life when he meets her.

yes to Tucker YUM

It was good to be back in Ms. Hamilton's SEAL world, I love all her books. Loved that it deals with a more mature hero and a curvy heroine which resonates more with me. Two very different people and they make it work. It was great to see some of the other characters I met in previous books. It is a short one, so looking forward to their full story.
Mr. Hart has a smooth voice, and the ease with which he changes his voice to fit each character is amazing. I loved his previous narrations and listening to him in this book, the pacing is changed, a bit slowed down. I upped the speed a bit and it made it a better experience for me.

His goal at the New Year's Eve wedding was to keep his hand to himself. He fails miserably.

Tucker's goal was to keep his hands to himself but then he sees Brandi who is one of the bridesmaids. Her first impression of him is not so good but the he redeems himself by taking care of her when she almost passes out from not eating, too much alcohol, and dress so tight it makes it hard to breath. Will this be just a one night stand or could it be more.
JD Hunt is so easy to listen to and has such a sexy voice.
