Okay so I never would've picked this book up or even been in that section of the bookstore. And admittedly, the title seemed really cheesy to me. But it was chosen for book club and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Took me a little while to get past the character names because for the mo...

Not your typical Sandra Brown mystery. Usually you think you know who done it but in the end you don't. Always a twist that throws you for a loop. Well in Smash Cut, you know who does it, why he does it, but it is so well written and the characters are so entwined that you have to follow along...
Love is Murder by Sandra Brown is a huge book--over 700 pages in paperback. It was so thick that it was hard to hold. The stories were very short; just a few pages long. There was no time for character or plot development. I only gave it 3 stars. I did not rate this product as high as one by S...
Wow, what an adventure! Sporting the best narration I have listened to so far this year, this memorable wagon trail story, will no doubt be one of my top historical romance listens of the year! Ellen Archer has won a spot on my top narrators list! I just wish she would take on more romance ass...
Altough its only the second book of Sandra Brown that i've read i have to say that her writing is very characteristic, even without knowing the author of the two books, "Breath of Scandal" and "Hello, Darkness", one could easily link them to each other.Not only do both stories evolve quickly (whi...
I had to edit my review as all my pictures had disappeared. I asked for the update not to be added to my feed, so apologies if this "old" review shows up on your feed.Decided to read this one after reading Geri’s review. It was written over 25 years ago but I had a hankering for something like th...
I know I must sound like a broken record right but I truly enjoy all of the Sandra Brown books that I have read so far. Well, there was one that fell a little short for me but all the others have been such fantastic reads for me.The Alibi is one of my top three SB books. This one takes us to Ch...

I read this book because I was looking for something easy and fluffy to listen to during my commute after listening to several heavy books in a row. This one was much more fluffy than I really wanted, I think. I've read several of Sandra Brown's more recent offerings and really liked them. She...
Als ich die Inhaltsangabe das erste Mal las, dachte ich, mich erwarte eine Geschichte über eine taffe New Yorkerin, die in Intrigen und Versuchungen gerät, gewürzt mit einer Prise Erotik, doch anscheinend habe ich das Glück immer die gleichen öden Bücher dieses Genres zu ergattern.Und damit meine...
It was an amazing read! There was character development and growth. Perfection has its flaws. I loved both of the characters - Rusty Carlson, heroine, and Cooper Landry, hero. Rusty was from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Yet to me, she was not the spoiled rich girl Cooper pegged her to be. She ...
Whoah, bacaan yang dahsyat. Sandra Brown memang menulis roman kelas dunia. Novel yang bertema agak tidak biasa ini sudah membuat aku kagum akan semua aspeknya.Berawal dari kepulangan Rink, tuan muda Lancaster Gin ke kota Winstonville yang masih konvensional dimana penduduknya masih suka dengan go...
I feel bad; I received this book from FirstReads over a month ago, and only got to it now because I've been so busy! This was my first foray into older romance novels (it was published in the 80s) and it took me a bit by surprise. I had to remind myself that, even 20 years ago, views of women a...

First off, can this woman write a bad book?This quote is from the TV series, "The Newsroom" - it's not meant to insult anyone, especially Americans but I thought it was appropriate especially regarding the subject matter of the book. No stars could be seen, of course, because of the city lights....

This was a reread for me and I loved it this time as much as I did the first time I read it. It's a great romantic suspense with it being heavier on the suspense than romance. Anna (h) is a widow with a young son living on her father in laws ranch in Texas. She had married the man she loved and w...
Entertaining and enjoyable mystery suspense with some feel good romance at the end.I questioned some of Avery’s actions, but I’m not sure what I would have done differently.You need to suspend disbelief that the husband would not sense differences in his wife: her walk, talk, mannerisms, body par...
Sandra Brown is one of those authors whose books I generally buy new, sometimes even in hardback because I can't wait for the cheaper paperback to come out. My introduction to her was through her romance novels, starting with HIDDEN FIRES, but THE WITNESS, a mystery/suspense, put her on my list o...

Safely tucked away on my keeper shelf are two books that, to this day, remain my all time favorite western romances. One is my guilty little pleasure- A heart So Wild by Johanna Lindsey- and the other is Another Dawn by Sandra Brown.A sequel to Sunset Embrace featuring Ross & Lydia Coleman, Anoth...
This month’s TBR Challenge is Westerns. I like westerns, especially western historicals, and because I do, I don’t usually have any on my TBR. But I collect/buy/acquire Sandra Brown whenever I go to my local library used book store, often re-buying and re-reading the same titles. Shadows of Yeste...
3 ½ stars. I’m shocked at how this guy doesn’t take no for an answer! But he was irresistible to her. It was fun but short.STORY BRIEF:During the wedding ceremony, when asked to say” I do,” Sunny said “I don’t” and walked out of the church. She then moved to New Orleans. She never explained ...

Para quem não sabe, Sandra Brown começou a sua carreira como autora de romances históricos, sob vários pseudónimos. Este foi um desses livros, publicado originalmente sob o pseudónimo Laura Jordan. Ganhei o livro no Goodreads e, para ser sincera estava um bocadinho receosa, porque a Sandra Brown ...

More from the summer of romance (and this book is rated on my five star romance scale)As I plow through the romance genre, I decided to pick up another book of a well known, somewhat old school romance writer. Although I don't think I'll be picking up most of Ms. Brown's back list, I was not dis...
Tempest in Eden is one of those books that I have missed out on in my quest to read all the titles by Sandra Brown. This one came to my notice I think through Amazon that does a wonderful job out of emptying my credit card every month by suggesting books that I definitely MUST have, most of which...
The first book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown’s beloved Texas! trilogy introduces readers to a close-knit family struggling to go on without its patriarch—and to a man in pursuit of an elusive woman who may hold his future in her hands.Charismatic and easy on the eyes, Lucky...
ISBN 0446364797 - This has got to be one of the hardest books for me to review yet. That's not because it's so good that I'm shocked speechless; it's not because it's so BAD that I'm at a loss for words - it's really that it's a combination. This is a really good, touching story... and some of th...
Big fan of Sandra Brown but this book was a huge disappointment. The heroine is a big, big fail. One of the most annoying heroine's I've ever come across who did not deserve the hero's attention, let alone his love. For a woman that is supposed to be a trauma surgeon (who worked all over the worl...
Guiltily, she glanced toward the connecting door to the living area of the suite and spoke in a hushed voice. “Josh? How—” “Are you watching TV? Have you heard?” “What? Heard what? How did you know I’d get this phone?” “I did...
Rylan had numerous hours that night to contemplate it. Sunrise finally crept up behind him and projected his silhouette on the sand. The shadow looked like an ill-formed hulk of a man, shoulders hunched forward, head sunk down between them, hair unruly. That shadow could have belonged to the sulk...
Story Cindy Gerard I’m hooked on Gerard’s tough-talkin’, straight-shootin’ characters. Her story is exciting, taut, sexy and just plain fun to read. ~SB Oh, yeah. Judging by the chuck, chuck, chuck of her custom AR-15, Crystal—aka: Tinkerbelle, Johnny Duane Reed’s own personal transplant from nev...
She tossed her handbag and damp raincoat into the nearest chair and strode to the edge of his desk. She'd been testy and despondent since her return from Georgia last evening, but she had never looked better. Today she was dressed in a suit tailored for office wear, but it was a form-fitting one ...
Chris asked in shock. On his way to the bathroom, Huff did an about-face. Beck launched himself off the sofa and went to the wall of windows. He didn’t see anything out of the ordinary on the shop floor. Everyone was going about his business. ...
She answered her phone after the first ring. “You’ve shown a knack for sneaking out,” Crawford said, sounding out of breath. “Think you can you do it again? This time in your car?” “What number is this?” “A burner phone.” &nb...
He tried it, and when he discovered it was locked, pounded on it with his gloved fists. Eventually, the door was opened by a woman as broad-breasted as a pigeon. She was wearing a long, white satin peignoir that might have looked bridal had there not been a black cigarette anchored in the corner ...
Ritualistically he prayed three times a day—before breakfast, before dinner, and before bed. His prayers this evening were effusive because it had been a productive day. The sermon he'd taped this afternoon for his television show had been particularly inspired. The subject had been tribulation. ...
Everyone held their breath to see if she would change her mind. She did not. Still somewhat bemused, as well as in a state of deep relief, I told the tale of his hasty departure to one of my friends at high school as we perched together on art stools and worked on life dra...
No sports jacket this time, she noted. He was wearing a white oxford cloth Polo shirt tucked into his jeans, and brown cowboy boots, which he’d been wearing the other two times she’d seen him. He was carrying a small white paper sack.She closed the door and joined him in the living area just as h...
“You two are buddies now?” “Brothers actually. Because I’m trying to expose the corruption in the police department.” “Ah.” As they drove away, she gave the trailer one last glance and shuddered with revulsion. “He gave me the creeps.” &...
He also launched into periodic tirades about the sluggish pace and general ineptitude with which the police investigation was being conducted. He demanded immediate answers to questions to which no one had answers. He refused to accept honest replies such as, “We don’t know, but we’re doing all w...
On it was a small, rustic cabin that he and Gibb had built themselves. He had proudly shown it off to her. She now wished she had paid more attention to how he had gotten there. The roads that wound through the rolling forested hills surrounding Prosper were unpaved, narrow, and dark. Few were m...
“Did I what? “Like the way I…” Honor let the unfinished question hang. Coburn turned his head and looked at her. “No. I was faking it. Couldn’t you tell?” She smiled shyly and burrowed her face into his chest. He gathered her close. “I liked it.” “Better than a sneeze or a cough?” “Can I think ab...
She adores her big brothers." "She's a pain in the backside." Her expression told him that she didn't take his invective seriously. "After Sage said goodbye, Laurie got on the phone. She invited us out to lunch Sunday. I accepted." "Fine." "She also said she would love for us to join her at churc...
Her clothing, if not her composure, had been restored. "I think you'd better go," she said coldly. "I think you'd better grow up." She curbed her fury. Confrontations had never been enjoyable or easy for her. "Simply because I don't want to be manhandled on the living room floor is no reason for ...
is here. It’s cold, I know that much. The cabin stays damp, and that hasn’t helped my chest cold. It’s hung on for weeks. I try not to cough too much, because it irritates Carl. He’s short-tempered because we stay cooped up in here for days at a time. He doesn’t like to venture out when it’s rain...
Rainwater said, “It would tickle him to know he’d upset you.” “I’m not upset.” “You’re shaking.” Ella looked down at her hands and realized that he was right. To keep her hands from trembling, she clasped them in her lap. &nb...
