Seeing Red by Sandra Brown
5.0

ARC received from: Netgalley

Rating: ★★★★★

Trope: Romantic Suspense

Chemistry: Simmering

One-Sentence Summary: A journalist and a former ATF Agent hunt for the truth in a small town

Review: There are three things that summer can be guaranteed to bring:

1. A ridiculous heatwave that us Brits are not prepared to withstand
2. A barrage of train delays and cancellations due to the aforementioned heatwave
3. A new Sandra Brown novel.

Only one of those is something I really look forward. Probably hard to tell which one, right?

Sandra Brown is back on ★★★★★ form with her latest release chock full of twists and turns. Even though I always going into one of her novels with the knowledge that the Hero will be a little rough and ready and be hiding a lot of secrets but will ultimately always be a good guy (it is a romance after all!) I still end up having moments of doubt just like the Heroine does.

John Tucker is an intense ex-federal agent intent on getting the bottom of a conspiracy which started with the bombing of hotel during which his father The Major rescued a 5 year-old girl who grew up to be Kerra Bailey a TV journalist, who, coincidentally, is also digging around in the circumstances of the bombing that killed her mother and, soon after, her father as well. Circumstances call for these two to join forces and go on the run whilst trying to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Hero and Heroine aside, this novel proves that you should be wary of every single secondary character introduced as they will invariably end up being key players in the wider plot and hiding more than their own fair share of secrets. I don't want to elaborate on this any more as you really need to go into the novel unspoiled to get full enjoyment but all I can is you're in for a treat!
