Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: The book was everything I'd wanted in reading a thriller, except it doesn't have that extra spark of originality. But other than that, it was an addictive read. Even though it's my first time reading a Sandra Brown, it was obvious that she's an accomplished writer who knows how to satisfy her audience. The pacing was perfect - I love how she doesn't reveal her characters' pasts all together, but spaces it out throughout the book. We don't find out the true nature of Rennie Newton until the very end, and I loved Wick Threadgill. He just seems to be the perfect hero, though flawed, but who isn't?

Summary: Solid Thriller-Romance with great characters
Review: I found this book to be hard to put down in the classic thriller style. It's nothing out of the ordinary as far as the genre goes (then again, isn't that why we like thrillers?)... but it's well-paced with interesting turns. Thriller-romances are easy to come by, fast to read, and often somewhat forgettable. What makes this worth 4 stars to me is the depth of the character development. These are people who are fun to get to know and who don't show everything up front. By creating characters with distinct personalities, Brown creates a book that sucks you in and makes you interested to see what happens to characters you care about. Even the 'bit players' are written interestingly and colorfully. I agree with other posters - this would make a great movie... and that's why it's a great way to escape during some free time.
