Review: This is my first Sandra Brown and certainly not my last. I loved the story within the story, the development of the characters and the plot twists. I couldn't put this down at the end of the Chapter. The fast pace of the story and great writing style make this book a complete and satisfying tale. This is a great summer read.

Review: This is one of my favorite books, if not THE favorite. It's really that good.

Sandra Brown always comes up with good plots, but the thing about her is that she can really capture the emotions of the characters in a scene. And it affects the readers as much as it affects the characters. Envy was no exception. It was (besides the Alibi) her most emotional novel.

I could really feel Parker's pain and Maris' struggle to not fall for him. The sexual tension between the two of them was incredible. Both characters had so much depth, I wonder how the heck the writer accomplished this. She's one of the most talented writers I've come across in the emotional aspect. She's one of the most talented female writers I've ever come across. Period.

Summary: Awesome writer!
Review: This is the second Sandra Brown book I found on the bargain rack. The first "The Crush" left me feeling a little flat with characters I didn't feel for, but "Envy" is the best suspense novel I've ever read. I see how some detractors felt it was unrealistic at times, but for me, Brown knows how to write her scenes in such a seamless manner I had no trouble buying whatever plot twist she had coming. This book would make a great movie, I wonder has one been made? Looking forward to reading more of Sandra Brown's work even if I pay full price.
