Summary: I'm glad I didn't buy this book.
Review: I'm a huge Sandra Brown fan - I've read almost everything she's written, and I usually buy her next book as soon as it is released. I happened upon this book at the library and grabbed it. I was extremely disappointed. There is exactly one compelling theme in this book - the relationship between Dean and the heroine. I did like how their past was revealed little by little, and I found their pain and relationship very realistic. But, the plot surrounding this book is just voyueristic and gross. Rather than finding the mystery interesting, I figured out very quickly that she just kept dragging us in to a suspect, and then throwing fact about another suspect the other direction. I felt jerked around, and not like facts were being revealed naturally. I didn't even care if they ever found the kidnapped girl by the end. There were details in this book that would give any abuse victim flashbacks, and for no real purpose other than to shock and horrify.

Summary: Sorry another Brown formula overdone
Review: I was a devoted Sandra Brown fan in the 80's. But I stopped reading her. Writers need to change with the times or they get stale. What worked TWO DECADES ago, just is TRITE, clichéd, commonplace, hackneyed, shopworn, stereotyped, threadbare, timeworn, tired in this current day and time. Browns tosses out dirty words for shock value - same as she did 20 years ago, but frankly, the shock has long worn off. The mystery is no mystery; the author tries to make you THINK there is a mystery by casting questions and suspicions about every male character in the book. The misdirection in ham-fists and fools no one. I have been so disappoint in Jayne Ann Krentz, Nora Robert and Sandra Browns last few efforts, because I see little flash that made them the Queen of the genre. They are putting out retreaded books like they don't have to write good books anymore - they just put out anything and everyone buys them because of their name. Sorry, if you are a Brown fan, get it at the library. Everyone else would do well to spend their money on writers who still write with passion.

Summary: Not A Keeper!
Review: I don't care for some of Sandra Brown's books. But those have always been the ones written 20 or so years ago and that's because ideals etc. have changed so much since then. I've waited anxiously for this new book and it was definitely not worth the wait. 1. The characters were flat and boring.
2. The coincidences were way out of control. Brad, Janey, Paris, Dean, Gavin, etc. The possibilty of all of them being connected in the same murder, ending up in the same city and having the amount of previous connections-unlikely at best.
3. What was with Paris and the sunglasses? She was sensitive to light but that sure changed in the end.
4. There was no chemistry between Paris and Dean.
5. What gave Paris the right to decide Dean couldn't see Jack? Considering Dean had known him a lot longer than she had Dean was more likely to know what Jack would want. Also they were both equally responsible for what had happened so why should she punish Jack.
6. I figured out who the murderer was as soon as he appeared in the book.
7. Paris was unlikeable and had about as much depth as a piece of paper. I am an avid Sandra Brown fan and I can only hope her next book is a whole lot better.
I can however recommend French Silk, The Crush, Charade.

Summary: Sandra Brown has nailed yet another bestseller!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was so good I read it in under 2 days. I really didn't know who the real killer was until the last chapter and the whole time I was reading i was on the edge of my seat. Sandra did a superb job with this book and I look forward to future releases!

Summary: Hello, Darkness
Review: The story was okay, but it was so full of crude words and descriptive sex that I found it hard to believe that a "lady" wrote it. I've been a fan of Sandra Brown's for years, but I think I'll drop her from my favorite author list. If you like crude and sexual than the book is for you. If not, there are hundreds of other authors who write excellent books.

Summary: Interesting But To "Perfect"
Review: Altho I am sure I have read another book by Sandra Brown (one I can't think of as of date), I was interested in reading this book based on it's synopsis. I will admit that the book took off and I was unable to put it down during the first several chapters but after awhile, I found myself just a tad bit annoyed at how all the characters were "convienently" put together which took away from the natural suspense - in my opinion. Altho this book was a work of fiction, perhaps I was expecting MORE of a theme, MORE content, MORE thrills. Instead I got the runaround, too many underdeveloped characters and way too many twists and turns. Overall, the book held the mystery qualities and even had me "locked in" (for lack of a better term) but at the same time, all it turned out to be in nutshell, was a love story - a Romance Suspense Novel. Truly not something I was prepared to read once I realized where the book was heading. Also, altho things like the nature of Paris and Dr.Malloy's relationship wasn't too farfetched, I just had a problem with the author allowing these two characters to rekindle what should have never taken place to begin with. I don't know about anyone else but I really don't think that after my finace' pretty much committed suicide by the revelation that his best friend and I had intimate relations behind his back that even after 7 years (later), I'd pick up where I left off with that same man. Perhaps I'm putting my own morals out here on the line in view of a work of fiction but sometimes fiction is all about reality. In conclusion, I also wish the book had a different ending, more climatic, more theatric. But it it what it is. Can't change that too much at this point. I'm glad however, that I didn't buy this book brand new.

Summary: So Disappointed!!
Review: I am an avid reader of Sandra Brown's novels. I've found her latest books to be lacking. This one was the worst. It was too predictable and not exciting enough. I am quite disappointed to say the least.

Summary: A good holiday read
Review: Hello Darkness is a fast paced mystery with an unknown villan who calls himself Valentino. Paris Gibson has a late night talk show and Valentino has become convinced she is the resason for all his problems. Paris, has problems of her own, along with a troubled past which catches up with her when she reports the threatening calls to the police. As the story moves along all the male characters seem to have some reason to be suspects at one point or another. The real villan is not a total surprise but the story line is a good read.
