Sandra Brown is known for writing about alpha males: dark heroes with a crack in their facade. Men whom have secrets but try to pretend that nothing is wrong. FRICTION was one such story.
Crawford Hunt, a Texas Ranger, had gone back to court to retrieve his parental rights for full-time custody of his young daughter, Georgia. He had voluntarily surrendered it several years earlier after his wife had died in an accident. They were dark days and he was the first to admit he was not a suitable father at the time but he went through the necessary counseling. He also provided the other requirements to make a comfortable dwelling for his child. He was ready to bring Georgia home.
Judge Holly Spencer was presiding at court when Crawford petitioned her to remove his daughter's guardianship from his former in-laws. They were good people but their bias prohibited him from taking a permanent role with fatherhood.
Before a decision could be made, chaos broke loose. A gunman had entered the courtroom shooting the bailiff and attempting to shoot the judge. Before he had time to think, Crawford's instinct kicked in and he ended up saving the adjudicator.
Unintentionally, Crawford gets involved with Holly.
There were plenty of the usual plot devices but that was to be expected when the entire story took place over just a few days. I knew what to expect of Crawford but I expected Holly to be smarter and stronger; after all, she was a judge. Lastly, if you can get past the thought that for 99.9999% of us this would never be a part of our reality, FRICTION was a good-hearted but somewhat mellow blend of romance and suspense.
