This book was quite interesting! I'm glad that there wasn't the whole love scene/ lover drama through the book. The book was suspenseful and the ending was a WHAT kinda reaction... especially with the way everything went down. If you are into government corruption, this is a book for you!

It was ok, I guess. Just didn't ring true in too many places

Barie Travis is a reporter that is invited to lunch with the First Lady. This could be the first exclusive after the death of her son. Little does she know that this lunch not only could get her on the news, but possibly dead.
Sandra Brown has done it again in this great adventure of political cover ups and murder. I just love Brown's characters and details, it just brings the world to life.

I was thinking that this book was rather more like the ones of hers I enjoyed reading some years ago, and then I discovered that it was first published in 1996. That explains it, and does contribute to answering my wondering as to whether her writing has gone downhill or whether I've just outgrown it.
Don't get me wrong; it's still total not-especially-well-written fluff (Among other issues, it included the words "equally as." Automatic fail.). But this was vastly better fluff than the last few of hers I've read. I called most of the twists, but at least they were there and not totally lame, and this book did share a feature with an earlier one that I found very effective: the final-page twist. This one didn't leave me as unsettled as the other one, but it was still reasonably effective.
Also, I don't consider myself especially uptight or anything, but it was kind of nice that the romantic leads did not start the book married to other people. What can I say? It was a nice change from the last few of hers that I've read.

I have no idea why it took me so long to read this book since I am a big Brown fan. I loved it. I love the Sandra Brown was able to make the jump from romance it thriller and keep you entertained. Barrie Travis is a reporter at a local, know nothing TV station. For some reason, the First Lady picks her for a private conversation about the miscarriage of the child she and the president fought so hard to have. But this scandal is bigger than Watergate, and Barrie just needs to get the right conversation. Enter Gray Bondurant, a former aid to the president. It has been rumored for a while that Gray and the First lady were closer than they should be, and all Barrie needs is for Gray to spill his side of the story. That is until she needs him to help save her life, because now that people know the story she is working on, her life expectancy has taken a nose dive. This was a fabulous read. You were kept entertained, and in suspense, and unable to stop turning pages. This is why I read Sandra Brown.
