Exclusive Kindle Edition

This book was so captivating. So many twist and turns. Sandra did it again. Brilliant so much of a possibility.

EXCLUSIVE by Sandra Brown. The story takes place in Washington D.C. and centers at the highest levels of our federal government. Berrie Travis , a gorgeous, warmhearted and at times naïve investigative reporter for a small local TV station receives a call from the first lady. Travis is doing a report on SIDS and the president’s wife who recently lost a 3-month old son to SIDS wants to talk with her. The meeting does not go as Berrie would have liked, but her interests are piqued, something is not right, something is troubling her. From this meeting the plot spirals, sometimes aimlessly through one catastrophe to another involving a sleazy, narcissistic and dishonest president as well as several corrupt members of his White House staff. Brown does a superb job of developing her characters. After a few pages you are thinking right with them and can often guess their next move. The plot often veers off in strange and unrealistic directions; but, hey—this is fiction—and Brown makes the digressions seem almost real for the reader. Brown, being a romance novelist in her early career can’t pass up an opportunity to slip in several obligatory love scenes for good measure.This is not a deep or complicated novel; it is a light, quick and enjoyable read.I recommend the book and rate it a strong 4.

I don't read books twice - there are too many adventures out there to ride down the same road again. Lately, I've settled for okay stories, written okay. I know certain authors are fabulous in weaving a story, and even then - either you've read everything an author has written, or their books become repetitive; so lately - I've settled for just something to read and have been disappointed.I've read so many books, and desperate for a good story and really good writing - I went back to books I've read. I'll look at the title and all recall is that was really good. I'll finish a 20 something book series and I want more. So this one I read again and it is beyond fabulous. I want more of Gray.I want more of Harry (Harry Bosch series). Emilie Richards wrote about an Irishman's story shoveling ore from the belly of ships in Early America in one of the northern states - it starts and ends with letters of a priest - Patrick, I think. Five People You Meet in Heaven. Rainwater. Look for these books. You won't be disappointed.I always wanted to be a writer or journalist - I knew that would never happen because there are so many more talented people out there spitting out stories much more successfully than I could produce once. Thank you Sandra Brown, and Michael Connelly, and those of you out there who can write a book. A really good book. It's like magic.

I read this book years ago and enjoyed reading it so I thought I read it again. You are always on the edge of your seat and can’t put it down.

This book is up there with one ofMs Browns best.I loved every minute of the read. It’s definitely a must read.

enjoyable

Find her stories very compellingAnd complex!

Many years ago, lyrics were displayed on a movie screen, and a bouncing ball guided the audience along. To the extent that you shut down critical thinking and simply go along with the plot development (follow the bouncing ball) of this novel, you will, I think, be somewhat entertained.The book has a number of flaws: a heroine who intrudes like Goldilocks, then has sex with the grumpy, nasty bear... a hero who is two dimensional... a president who renders the Godfather appealing by comparison ... a politician so hungry for power he'll marry his daughter off to a killer ... and more.Still, I got hooked - had to follow that bouncing ball to the end in spite of main characters who are not particularly likeable. I scanned some in last quarter, but I finished.It is a testament to Sandra Brown's writing gifts that I give this novel 3 stars! If you're a dyed-in-the-wool Sandra Brown fan, you'll probably like it. If not, well, she written better stories...
