Summary: Abysmal Mystery, Lackluster Romance
Review: Brown fails on both counts with this one. The mystery was far-fetched, but I won't go into it because I don't want to spoil it for those who'll read this despite my review. Let's just skip to the so-called romance. As another reviewer noted, there wasn't any romance. There was one fast, furious sex scene about five minutes after the hero & heroine first meet (I'm not kidding). There's only one word for what occurred, and it's 4 letters and begins with "f." I know that romance novel readers are supposed to accept a lot unrealistic scenarios, but I just couldn't buy into this one.

Skip this one and pick up SLOW HEAT IN HEAVEN or BREATH OF SCANDAL if you're interested in reading something Brown wrote that actually might be worth your time.

Summary: Unbelievable!
Review: My suspicions were confirmed that Sandra Brown has written romance novels in the past. That was my assumption when I read this book. The characters were shallow, the surprise ending was predicted, and nothing about this book was believable. It was fast-paced, and I finished it, but it is one of the least favorite books I've read in a while. We selected this book at my book club, and nobody seemed to enjoy it very much. Overall, it was just ridiculous!

Summary: An extremely good book!
Review: This is the first Sandra Brown book I've read and found it difficult to put down. Barry Travis was made to "look" like a less than great reporter but she did uncover facts that no one would wanted revealed. Her coverage of SIDS is enlightening to those of us who don't know the "facts". The cover-up by the White House over the death of the young son, the sly and cunning President and his Aide and an even worse First Lady made it difficult for me to put this book down. Up to the very end, the last sentence, you never know what is going to be discovered and revealed. Sandra Brown is on my list of must reads now!
