Rating: Summary: Great! Review: This is a really good book, I also recommend, "A Lost Innocence," by Rod L. Griffin
Rating: Summary: Mad Crush for The Crush Review: I was skeptical about this book at first when I was reading about it on Amazon.com. But I ordered it anyway. I was pleasently suprised. This was my first Sandra Brown novel and I wish I had heard of her sooner. I had recently finised all of the Patricia Cornwell novels and I was deperately trying to find other authors that appealed to me. I couldn't put the book down and read well into the night and early morning. I read it in 3 days. I really recommend this book!!
Rating: Summary: Loved it! Review: I have been looking for a good book for a long time, buying books that could not keeping me interested. This one with a my very busy schedule, I read it in four days. I love her writing, she keeps something from you that will be revealed in pages to come. I didn't figure it all out until almost the last page. I will be buying many more of Sandra Brown's books!
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Review: Well, I have to say that I'm a person who respects all opinions, including the negatives ones on this book, but I also have to say I don't agree with them at all. I thought this book was absolutely fantastic. Sandra Brown is an immensely talented writer, and all her books are just amazing. The Crush was no exception. I was hooked from the very first page until the last one. The suspense was great as was the romance between Wick and Rennie. I loved both main characters and thought they were developed beautifully. The chemistry between them was electric and believable. The plot flowed effortlessly and was filled with suspense throughout. The villian was definitely creepy, and yet another great portrayal from Brown. I had gotten this book from the library, but I will be purchasing it for sure...it's definitely a keeper and I would recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: nowhere near Brown's previous works Review: I have enjoyed most of Sandra Brown's previous books - The Switch, Envy, and even her older titles. So I was not only disappointed but surprised with The Crush. It was painfully slow and Brown dragged out the suspense to the point where it simply got tiresome to turn the page. I finally abandoned efforts to finish it when I could not get the image of Wick - the most unappealing hero in a romance! Sorry but I don't find anything romantic about a man who doesn't like to read and so burdened by his problems he doesn't care about personal hygiene and the state of his living conditions. I hope Brown's next book won't feature another [character].
Rating: Summary: Love it! Review: I loved this book so much that i had to go buy the hardcover so i could have it forever.This book is amazing and has the best element of mystery,romance and everything.I recommend this book to anyone interested in mystery or romance or just anyone who wants a good read that will keep you up late and hooked.Happy reading.
Rating: Summary: First-Rate Page Turner Review: Although this Brown outing is not up to the calibre of her "Envy," nevertheless, it delivers the goods--as only Brown can.The plot concerns a very buttoned-up, brilliant surgeon, Dr. Rennie Newton, as unapproachable as she is a genius. Young and beautiful, she saves lives on a daily basis with a cool efficiency in the operating room that belies her inner, carefully controlled compassion. But her nerves are about to be tested to the max. For Rennie was the forewoman on the jury at the trial of the cold and spooky Lozada, a hitman par excellence. And the jury acquitted. Now, Lozada is stalking Rennie in the vile belief that she is his soulmate. Maverick ex-copy Wick Threadgill (Brown is always so good with names--where does she get them?) has had his own brush with Lozada, more than once. When we meet him, he's lost in Margaritaville--in this case, a seedy apartment on the Gulf in Galveston, Texas. Sexy Wick is one moody, volatile guy. He's lost his only brother to Lozada, and it has thrown him into a tailspin that has forced his temporary suspension from the force. When Wick is asked by his close friend and fellow cop Oren Wesley to investigate the murder of a surgeon who practiced at Rennie's hospital, the stage is set for a deadly triangle: Bad boy Wick, Rennie, who may or may not have murdered her colleague, and Lozada--who definitely may have had something to do with it. The sparks fly, the sexual tension strains to the breaking point, and distrust abounds as Wick and Rennie, polar opposites in every way, reluctantly join forces to trap Lozada. And the reader is along for every step of the way.
Rating: Summary: Tight suspense Review: Dr. Rennie Newton unwittingly becomes a suspect for the murder of Howell when FWPD detective Oren Wesley smells a motive of eliminating her competition. Could she be collaborating with psychopath Lozaro? Seems likely when Oren engages best friend Wick Threadgill to investigate and keep tabs on Rennie, discovering her blemished past of committing self-defense murder on one of her father's associate. Even the townspeople says she was a hellfire back then. Wick however finds himself attracted to Rennie in the midst of protecting her from the stalking Lozaro. Obsession can deadly when Lozaro invades her privacy and Wick becomes the defender of the woman he loves, while settling a personal vendetta with the menacing killer. Sandra Brown's perennial suspense offering lacks the stylistic prose in her last book Envy but remains fast and engrossing with its frenetic pacing and dramatic turns of a cat-and-mouse game. The romance cripples with much of the pages devoted to suspense and Rennie's unbelievable past. Yet like the unfurling of a soap opera, the pages just fly by with Ms. Brown's tight narration.
Rating: Summary: Hmmm.... Review: Not hard to picture Gibson and Glover as Wick & Oren.
Rating: Summary: The Crush Review: A MUST READ BOOK! Out of all the Sandra Brown Books I read, this on was my favorite. You won't be able to put it down. IT holds your attention from the beginning to the very end. If you like, mystery, suspence, and romance. This book is definetly for you. The Villion is great. The hero and heronie are both fearless and brave. This book has a lot of twists and a big one at the end. I wonder if Sandra can top this one?
