The story wasn't bad, but I think I'm done with Sandra Brown. I was initially attracted to her because of the addition of a little romance/sex, but this has just gone too far. It's cheesy and too much. Sorry Sandra, adios.
A little too much misogyny disguised as male southern charm for my taste. I enjoyed the mystery side of things and some of the banter was a lot of fun, but other times it was exhausting.
Absolute thriller! I had my suspicions as the plot thickened, but there were a few timely twists I did not see coming. The only reason I refuse to give 5 stars is that the "romance" scenes were too much, in my opinion. The story would have been fine without the detailed rompings.
It's rare for me to give up on an audiobook, usually at worst I just half listen while doing other stuff, but this was so painfully predictable and ridiculous, I had to stop about 15 chapters in.
This book took me forever to read because it was awful. The plot is so convoluted I don't even want to explain it. Basically there's the good people: Kerra and Trapper and they're looking for bad people. I have a hard time considering Trapper "good people" though because he was such an archetypical bruiting male that he annoyed me. Kerra, was the normal damsel in distress that has no opinions, motives, intellect, etc. We hardly even got to know her as she was mostly just there to provide a person for the romance scenes. I do not recommend.
Seeing Red is a romantic suspense that I didn’t find romantic or all that suspenseful. Maybe my expectations for this were too high, but I didn’t fall in love with either of the characters of broadcast journalist Kerra Bailey and former ATF agent John Trapper—maybe this was why I didn’t feel the heat between them or much care if they got together.
The premise was intriguing enough: Kerra is interviewing Major Trapper (John’s dad), who was catapulted to fame twenty-five years earlier when he helped rescue some folks earlier from a hotel bombing when there is a shooting at Major Trapper’s home. John Trapper acts as a guard for Kerra in case the shooters discover that she survived the incident.
There were a few nice twists and turns, but not enough to keep me furiously turning pages in anticipation of what was going to happen next.

The mustery was fine. The characters drove me nuts. The main characters were classic romance novel male and female. Everyone else was maudlin or angry. Parts were pornographic. I skipped sections and often rolled my eyes.
As usual Sandra Brown throws in unexpected twists and turns when you least expect it (or sometimes even when you do). Enjoyable read.
Sandra Brown delivers another compelling romantic thriller with a complex and twisted plot, though this particular story may take one turn too many to be plausible for some readers. The relationship between the two appealing main characters develops quickly and is hot and steamy. Brown skillfully handles both elements - the sexual tension never interferes with the criminal storyline - and the pace is brisk from beginning to end.
If you like a thriller with some romance thrown in, then Sandra Brown is for you. Seeing Red had enough twists it kept you guessing, maybe not all the way to the end, but long enough to get you hooked. Trapper was not one of my favorite bad boy characters, but you could understand where he was coming from, but I did enjoy the other characters. As always, looking forward to her next book.
