Standoff

Summary: Did Sandra "REALLY" write this!
Review: I have read every Sandra Brown book there is clear back to her Loveswept days. She has stated in interviews that she is going to write romantic/suspense books. Alot of people are upset that she hasn't stayed with her regular basic romance books. I could expect Standoff to be a first book but not one by an author as established as this one... I started to be interested in the young couple involved in the stand off but as the book went on I couldn't have cared less. As far as romance in this book....she seemed to have just thrown everything together ....in about 20 pages! It bothers me when authors try to wrap everything up in the last page or two. Really felt like I was left hanging! I'm starting to wonder about alot of the more popular authors. Are they under some kind of time constraint and pressure? .....

Summary: Standoff
Review: I own every one of Sandra Brown's books, but I have to say this book did not pack her usual punch. It was to short for the characters romance to develop and there was not really any resolution with the characters in the end.

Summary: Not Up To Par
Review: This book was too short. I found myself wanting to see what happend after the standoff in the lives of the the main characters. However, if you are looking for a quick read that isn't too involving, this could be an ok book for you.

Review: When I went into the book store to get a new book I saw Sandra Brown's new Standoff. I didn't event read the cover I love her books so much. This was terrible next time I will read the cover.

Summary: What did I buy this for?
Review: The book over all was action packed but at the end all of a sudden like the standoff began it happened a romance springs up on the reader all to fast like turning the page and there it was. No, swooning or courting... just bang they did it... not a good romanace that we all know Ms. Brown to write. Next time I'll think about buying her next book very carefully.

Summary: Bring back your old style of writing.
Review: What a disappointment. As an outline for a good story with interesting characters and situations, this is a good book. What has happened to Sandra Brown's writing style? If you want to read some of her good books, read MIRROR IMAGE, BEST KEPT SECRETS or FRENCH SILK. This book is so short that you do not have time to "care" about any of the characters. It could have been so much more if she had taken the time to develop the characters. Where is all of the wonderful detail that is found in her earlier works?

Summary: Not Brown's Best
Review: I have enjoyed many novels by Sandra Brown, but unfortunately this is not one of her best. It is an easy read, quite a short story actually - it could have easily been a paperback rather than a hardcover book. If you are looking for a fast and predictable read then you will enjoy this one.

Rating:
Summary: Very disappointed
Review: As a number one fan of Sandra Brown I am deeply disappointed in her last few books. Her whole style of writing has changed. She seems to be getting further and further away from writing romance novels. Being a avid fan of her previous books I just feel let down. I hope that she starts to realize her fans want romance back in her writing, which is what she does best, and not what she has been handing off to us.

Summary: Save Your Money
Review: I have enjoyed Sandra Brown's book in the past, but this one is awful. Save your money. Don't even buy it in paperback. If you have to read it, check it out at your local library.

Summary: Standoff
Review: I have read all of Sandra Brown's books and found this one is just as good as any of the others. She is a remarkable writer and I hope I can find the out of print books quickly to add to my collection. She weaves a story of two teenagers with all of their choices exhausted and jump to a serious and maybe life altering conclusion. In this struggle weaves a story of love between two of the heroes of the story. Excellent work!
