Summary: formulaic entertainment
Review: This is my first experience with Sandra Brown. Judging from other reviewer's comments, this is not her finest book. Perhaps it's because I just finished Madame Bovary and some other more literary books, but this book was very mediocre. Sure, the plot was fast paced and kept me entertained for a couple of hours. My objection is to the feeling that I'm being manipulated as a reader. For example, many chapters end with the, "Just then, a piercing scream rang out," type of thing that propels you to the next chapter. It's hard for me to believe that this kind of mediocre writing comes from a bestselling author (or should that be considered par for the course from a bestselling author?). The sex scene was SO poorly written that it was painful to read. I felt like I was reading a teenager's English paper under some horrible forced assignment: try to make a sex scene sound sexy. I'm not trying to pick on her, but if you read this outloud to a friend, you'd be laughing so hard you'd never make it through it. So, decent entertainment I suppose, but not very impressive as fine writing.

Summary: Not bad, but not great, either
Review: This is a Silhouette novel disguised as a bestseller. I read it in a day, literally. The entire story takes place in a gas station and is very fast-paced. It could easily be an episode of Law & Order. Tiel is a reporter headed for a vacation. While stopping for a snack, a story accidentially finds her. Of course, there's an Alpha Male involved, but the way the two get together is a bit contrived. I liked this story, despite the sappy happy ending. Just don't expect too much.

Summary: Doy!!
Review: This is one to leave by the toilet. Sandra Brown needs to look up the word "prone," which in this book she repeatedly and annoyingly uses incorrectly. Pregnant women are never positioned prone. Duh!! Get a real editor.

Summary: Not Brown at her best but still a good read
Review: I have been a fan of Sandra Brown from the beginning of her career and witnessed the change of writing style from complete romance to suspense with a little romance fit in. In this book, the whole story revolves around 1 night in a convience store. Which is very odd for Brown. However, she makes it work somehow. Two teenagers fall in love and run away from the girl's multimillionaire father. You see she is pregnant and her father won't allow her to keep it. Deciding to run away to Mexico, they need cash fast so they decide to rob a convience store. In the store is a star reporter who would do anything for a story, a rancher known as "Doc", a older couple on their honeymoon, a couple of Mexicans who are scary, and a loud mouth clerk. Before the teenagers could take off with their loot, the girl goes into labor and the police and FBI are waiting outside. It's a life and death situation. The rancher "doc" and the reporter help the young couple deliver their baby and calm the couple from doing anything that might harm anyone. The reporter discovers that there are more important things than the big story and the rancher learns a thing or two. Read the story to find out the explosive ending. A good book for the beach.

Summary: What?? Huh??
Review: I finished this book in 3 hrs and I closed it after I read the last word. What?? I was disappointed... just that. It was a nice read, but i couldnt believe the whole story was taken in a gas station. Not like her other ones.

Summary: An entertaining way to pass the day
Review: Standoff is the story of an ace TV reporter starting out her much needed vacation to a mountain getaway. She hears on the radio that two teenagers, one of whom is kidnapped, are headed towards Mexico. She decides to delay her vacation to get the story. She stops off at a convenience store and while there comes face to face with the two teenagers. One of which goes into labor in the store! The story progresses through the night and into the next day as the hostages and teenagers try to deal with the situation. I thought this story was entertaining. It was suspenseful enough to keep me reading until the end. The ending was a little sugary but that is to be expected from Sandra Brown. I thought the character development and the plot were excellent in this book. It was impossible to guess what was going to happen next. The characters were believeable and well written. This isn't a deep, soul searching book but an entertaining way to pass the day!

Summary: Don't bother...
Review: Another flop by Sandra Brown. She's such a wonderful author too that I find it hard to believe she could publish a book that is so incredibly boring. I usually enjoy her books but this one was a waste of time to read. Sorry... However, if you're looking for a great Sandra Brown book to read, try The Alibi, The Witness, Breath of Scandal or Tiger Prince to name a few. They were all fantastic.

Review: I Loved this book , I am a big Sandra Brown Reader and I have almost all of her books (that I collect). Sandra Brown will move you when you read her books.....she can make you mad, sad, and make you fall in love with the words...and most of all the characters in all of her books. I am not going to tell you about this book, because I think you would like to read it for yourself. All I can say is that there is not one Sandra Brown book that I have not Loved!!!!and could not put down.....
