Why have I never read Sandra Brown before? My mistake! This take-no-prisoner thriller grabs you from the outset and never lets up with twist after twist.
Decent! There were a few parts that really grabbed my attention more than others. Took me awhile to get through.
Quick and easy read. Predictable, but still suspenseful.
This was at the bookstore with a "Thrillers" display, but just in a few pages and I asked myself, "is this a romance novel - one of the hot/steamy kind?" Alas, I was right. Not a thriller at all, though it tries to be. The male character has Electric Blue Eyes Like Neon. Other women, but not our heroine, simper after him. Oh here again - his eyes like blue flame. It really did get too graphic, I don't need to know where his fingers went lol.
As for the thriller part, it just didn't add up - what was the motivation for the book's bad guy to try to kill our heroine and the other main character?
And through the entire book there is a teaser: she knows something!

Spoiler
The whole book talks about how Kerra and the Major might remember something from the bombing that would ID the mastermind - so the mastermind was watching them to make sure they didn't remember and reveal. And guess what - there was nothing to remember and reveal. So why did Hank decide to kill them?If you like smutty romances this might be your book.
fast-paced
This was a page turner and I enjoyed the twists at the end but I did find some of the *spicy* parts of the story a teeny bit corny which I honestly don’t hate but some phrases used did make me cringe just a little.

An enjoyable read, interesting plot with dodgy characters, hard to put down, well-written. But nothing terribly memorable.
The book begins with an anchorwoman who has ties to a bombing that happened a couple of decades prior. When she lands an interview with the man - the Major - who saved a child from the crumbled building, it puts both of their lives at risk. She and the Major’s son then become involved in unearthing the conspiracy behind that bombing, putting themselves directly in harms way as the bad guys try desperately to shut them up for good.
Oh, also, if you like your suspense novels with a healthy side of porn, this definitely delivered during a couple of chapters. Goodness gracious, Sandra Brown. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into!

overall alright book. i was sent this book in a book.case club box (the mystery/thriller one) and i've heard of sandra brown before but this was the first book of her's i've read.
i felt overall ok about this book, i wasn't attached to the characters at all, and the mystery didn't feel very mysterious to me. there were multiple steamy sex scenes but i really wasn't into them because i felt like the male love interest was a super creep.
the female lead felt kind of two-dimensional to me.... she didn't have much of a personality other than being "rich" and "hot" and even though she wasn't super flushed out i felt like she deserved SO much better than the sleazy love interest.
