Exclusive

Rating:
Summary: An easy read
Review: Pretty unrealistic and predictable. Add it to the list ofbooks that try (and succeed) to take down the president. There's anice little twist at the end that is pretty fun.

Summary: It felt like a movie - I wanted to read to the end
Review: Exclusive is well-written, precisely executed. The main character, Barrie, is not a beauty queen who gets every thing from every one. She is a normal woman struggling to get out of the trenches and let her talent shine. She makes human errors and believes in people who she shouldn't trust. Her reporter instincts are excellent but when marred by human emotions, she is led down a path of violence and murder. Of course, being the heroine of the book, she comes out with the truth and the man. Finally, an average woman wins over the rich and famous. I loved it.

Summary: Page turner!
Review: I really enjoyed this book, I kept wanting to go to the last page, but I resisted and very glad I did. Ms.Brown has come a long way since her serial romance days! I read this book in three days.The plot was twisting and riveting a great read.

Summary: chilling political mystery with a hint of romance
Review: This book portrays a fictional First Family with seemingly unlimited power who covers up one murder after another. When the President and First Lady's new baby dies of SIDS, a local reporter believes the child was actually murdered by someone within the walls of the White House. Sandra Brown weaves a tale so intricate that the reader will remain glued to this book until the last page has been read. I enjoyed this mystery/romance book because Sandra Brown's writing can keep anyone spellbound. In addition, the "Exclusive" story is one that can be easily believed in this day and age. If you read and enjoy this book, I can also recommend Sandra Brown's "The Witness". Brown started her course of mystery/romance with "Witness" and continued into "Exclusive".

Summary: Unbelievable!
Review: My suspicions were confirmed that Sandra Brown has written romance novels in the past. That was my assumption when I read this book. The characters were shallow, the surprise ending was predicted, and nothing about this book was believable. It was fast-paced, and I finished it, but it is one of the least favorite books I've read in a while. We selected this book at my book club, and nobody seemed to enjoy it very much. Overall, it was just ridiculous!

Summary: Abysmal Mystery, Lackluster Romance
Review: Brown fails on both counts with this one. The mystery was far-fetched, but I won't go into it because I don't want to spoil it for those who'll read this despite my review. Let's just skip to the so-called romance. As another reviewer noted, there wasn't any romance. There was one fast, furious sex scene about five minutes after the hero & heroine first meet (I'm not kidding). There's only one word for what occurred, and it's 4 letters and begins with "f." I know that romance novel readers are supposed to accept a lot unrealistic scenarios, but I just couldn't buy into this one.

Skip this one and pick up SLOW HEAT IN HEAVEN or BREATH OF SCANDAL if you're interested in reading something Brown wrote that actually might be worth your time.

Summary: DEFINATELY "HOT"!!!!
Review: To be honest, I've been "hot and cold" on Sandra Brown's novels. This book hooked me right away! It is the best book I've read by Ms. Brown. The story held my interest because of the plot twists and turns. Just when you think you have a certain character "pegged", you get a surprise!! "Exclusive" mixes politics, romance and mystery superbly. The characters are very believable -- you keep turning the pages, anxious to see what will happen next! You will not be bored with the book.

Summary: Abysmal Mystery, Lackluster Romance
Review: Exclusive is in my opinion one of Sandra Brown's best books. It gets to you from the start and has you turning the pages automatically.

It's exhilararating, funny and extremely potent. The writer comes up with twists just when you think you had it all figured out. The ending will shock the hell out of you.

Barrie is one of my favorite heroines in a book. She very funny, smart and sexy. And yes, she has flaws like we all do.
Gray was a sweetheart and also very human. He's also one of my fav heroes.

One advice: don't pick up this book if you're at work, cause you're not going to get any work done.

Summary: Fun light reading.
Review: This was our third book club pick and we all really enjoyed it. It's a book you can read quickly, nothing too deep. A little bit of mystery, sex, politics, everything.
