We are back with SEAL Team 3 , and Tucker Hudson. He is back with the team, and the first time he will be leaving Brandy. We met them in book 1 of the series, and if you are like me, you have come to love them.
His first mission will take him to Africa where he will face danger and the first test for Brandy as a SEAL wife. It’s also the first mission his best friend Brawley Hanks will be on since his medical release.
The story is engaging filled with action and we also get a chance to spend some time with some of the characters from previous stories.
But the story is more than the plot. It’s a story about the stress of deployment not only for the brave soldiers , but also for the families left behind. As well as the “decompression” upon their return. About not only the physical strains they undergo but also the emotional and psychological ones. Definitely thought provoking and an eye opener. For that, kudos to this talented author.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
The third book in the Bone Frog Brotherhood series once I started reading I was not putting this book down. Tucker and Brandy’s story continues and everything is not alright an ex-wife making trouble , his best friend Brawley Hanks suffering from the effects of the last mission all of this makes for a well written story. The story flows smoothly from one page to the other. I can not wait until the next book is out. I recommend this series.
Tucker and Brandy Hudson’s story continues in this suspenseful follow-up to SEALed at the Altar. After only two months of marriage, Brandy’s fears are realized when Tucker’s team is being deployed to Central Africa. He cannot tell her that the team will be involved in the possible take down of a drug and child trafficking ring or the amount of danger involved. Not knowing what they will face and preparing for deployment, Tucker is also worried about his teammate Brawley Hanks. Brawley, recently out of rehab, is trying to hold it together long enough to complete his twenty years of service. How will this deployment affect his PTSD? Brandy knows that Tucker can only be Tucker, the man she loves with her whole heart, but what if he doesn’t make it back? Brandy and Dorie, Brawley’s wife, hear possible news of the teams’ mission in Africa and know that lives were lost. Was it their men? Brandy is prepared for an adjustment when and if Tucker returns home. Will their fragile marriage withstand the horrors he may have witnessed on the mission?

Enjoyed this emotional love story of a military couple that are learning the ups and downs, loving and not so loving, of military life. Deployments, old insecurities, mean people, PTSD…Will they make it work or does it get to be to much…check out this awesome read to see where it goes.
Another really great Navy SEAL romance!
I absolutely adore Navy SEAL, Tucker Hudson. I mean what is there not to love about him? He is an older man, for being a Navy SEAL, who is dedicated, intelligent, sexy, driven, and totally in love with his younger wife, Brandy. He’s also been totally upfront with Brandy about his career and what to expect from it. But that certainly doesn’t make it easier for either one.
This is the third book about Tucker in the Bone Frog Brotherhood series and is meant to read the order it was written. However, each book does end in a happy for now.

OMG This is such a great book. I couldn’t put it down until the end.
Tucker and Brandy are married and then Tucker goes on a mission overseas. Brandy knows she is not alone, but sometimes it feels like it. She doesn’t want to ask for help thinking that she is strong, but what she doesn’t realize that by asking she IS strong.
Tucker is caught between a rock and a hard place when he catches Brawley drinking. Should be turn him in or not?
Can Tucker and Brandy make a go of their life together? Will they be one of the few couples to make it?
You have got to read this to find out the answers.
Ms. Hamilton you are awesome.
Omg wow this book blew me away. < Holy smokes we all love our seals but this book takes you into Tuckers married life and back on seals team and his first mission away. I am not going to get into details because this book is absolutely good and has action suspense and heart breaks . I am absolutely blown away. Loved it
It has been two-years since their wedding and the relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Hudson is put to the test unlike at any time prior. Now an official member of SEAL Team 3 and on his first deployment (a particularly hazardous one in Central Africa) since re-joining, Tucker begins to place great pressure on himself. He feels overwhelmed with obligations, such as looking out for his struggling team buddy/best friend, having a positive influence on new team members and proving to himself he is mentally and physically fit for the mission at the age of forty. Additionally, being strong emotionally for his young wife taking care of things on the home front doesn’t always come easy. Meanwhile, Brandy must cope with reoccurring feelings of jealousy when Tucker’s ex-wife appears, confront her ongoing self-image issues and provide moral support to a Team wife all while learning how married life in the military has its own unique challenges. Despite a very sudden, unfulfilling ending, this installment of Tucker and Brandy’s story captivated throughout.
Ms. Hamilton has done it again. SEALed Forever finds Tucker and Brandy facing another separation. Tucker is back on the teams at age 40 and Brandy will be alone, a new wife and new to the military life during deployment. There are very real issues in this story that are dealt with and they are not easy topics as well. The struggles are real and you as the reader, are right there in all the activity. It is a great book with all the ingredients necessary for a great and entertaining read, suspense, mystery, thought provoking issues, joy, connection, and relationships.
I highly recommend this book.
I received this advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is the continuation of Brandy and Tucker’s story. It’s been 2 years since these two got married and Tucker is being deployed for the first time since rejoining Team 3. For Brandy the mission will give her a taste of what being the wife of a Seal really means and for Tucker it will give him a chance to prove himself. I really enjoyed this book. It was well written with interesting characters and an engaging storyline. The story was filled with drama, action, emotion, passion and steam. Highly recommend.

This is Tucker and Brandi’s story and takes place 2 years after their wedding and Tucker is back in the Seals and getting ready for his first deployment since wedding. I love the way Sharon makes you feel like your right there you see the sights and sounds around you. This book shows us how life isn’t easy for the men or the families left behind. I laughed, I cried when they came home. This story will keep your attention. Plenty of action and we meet up with the seals from team 3 again. Can’t wait to see what Sharon brings us in the next book.
Tucker has done the near impossible and gone back through BUDs to get back into the teams. And he has married a wonderful but much younger woman in Brandy. Now he is going on his ‘first’ mission with the team to Africa and his best friend Brawley is still having issues. How is it all going to work out? I really loved the way that Ms. Hamilton covered both what was going on with Tucker and the team as well as with Brandy on the home front. I was a military wife for the 27 years that my husband served and she got the waiting game right! Even homecomings for non-Seals have elements that she included. I really love the entire group that Ms. Hamilton has put together in this team with strengths and issues. And the wives at home are right on! Loved this book and am waiting anxiously now for the next one!
Sharon’s books always have me squirming in my seat either from suspense or from the love scenes! Her books are a must read for me.
I love this series because Tucker and Brandy are so relatable. This story shines a bright light on how some loved ones cope before, during and after deployment.

Tucker and Brandy’s story continues. It’s been 2 years, Tucker’s back on Team 3 and getting ready for his first deployment. But things aren’t all smooth sailing; not when his best friend’s struggling with PTSD and his ex-wife is making waves. This is an exciting and engaging episode in Tucker and Brandy’s love story. It’s a roller coaster of emotions, filled with drama, action and steamy passion. If you’ve been reading the series, then you know how likeable the characters are, but each story can be read and enjoyed on its own. This storyline struck a cord with me because I’ve been there, done that. As the wife of a NAVY sailor, I know how it feels to be the wife left at home, and it feels just like that! I strongly recommend this wonderful story and series!
If you love SEALs, their missions and their relationships, then you will love this book. SEALed Forever is the continuing story of Tucker, Brandy, the other members of SEAL Team 3 and their families. Sharon writes these books to where you feel like you are so much a part of the story. I got very involved in it and was not ready for it to end.
Tucker and Brandy are still learning to deal with being married to each other and now that Tucker has re-qualified to rejoin his SEAL team, they are going to have to deal with his first deployment. For Tucker, this mission is going to be about proving that he deserves to be there and about protecting and looking after his troubled friend and teammate, Brawley. For Brandy, this first mission is going to be about learning what exactly it means to be a wife of a SEAL and learning to deal with her personal insecurities. For SEAL Team 3, this mission will test them all and like everything else in life all does not go according to plan. The book ends on a cliffhanger and I am definitely looking forward to the next one.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I have to say that the last thing I was expecting was a cliffhanger. Honestly, I’m not sure whether to call it a cliffhanger or a very abrupt ending.
This book covers so many emotions, along with the action and suspense. It emphasizes the strength of military families and also how fragile those connections can be at the same time.
Tucker and Brandy have to find their way considering this is his first deployment after their marriage. I have a sense that they are also going to have to watch out for his ex wife.
There were a number of things left up in the air, so it will be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Sharon Hamilton once again wrote an amazing story that will keep your attention and make you not want to put it down! This book had everything I love in a story and I can’t wait to see who she writes next!
Really enjoyed this story. It is a happy for now and can’t wait to see what is next for this couple. Plenty of action, heat, and old friends make their appearance. All together make for a good read. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved that Tucker was able to go back to do what he loved, going back to SEAL Team 3. Brandy was a very strong young wife. I have not read any of the other 2 books in the Bone Frog Brotherhood, but I was able to follow the story without difficulty.
This is an interesting story which covers some of the emotions and struggles some military families can experience with deployments. It has strong characters, that are well developed so likable. Tucker returns to the seal team after being away for several years and goes on deployment. Brandy is his young wife of 2 years. She has to overcome her insecurity. Together they have strength and plenty of spark to make it. The plot is full of action, drama, mystery and suspense. It has twist and turns that will keep you captivated until the very end.
