I am a 20 yr fan of author. Note: I do use 1.25x speed on all mysteries to match the authors intentions. Since Ms Brown normally launches 1 book per year, I always look forward to her new one and this book does not disappoint. Author continues to have her trade mark surprise ending, and the publishers summary is spot on. If you liked this authors books, Friction and Low Pressure, then this story is up your alley. Narrator, Mr Slezak is my all time fave for Ms Browns audiobooks. His opening in this book starts with a starter gun bang as he is an actor and has done many of Ms Browns books, of which I own all. My fave is White Hot unabridged, NOW at Audible, Smoke Screen and Lethal. Victor had not narrated Ms Browns books since 2011, so last years narration of Seeing Red was not his tops, but still a good listen. Like a pro, he picked up his cadence in this light mystery so the story was entertaining with his classic southern drawl. If you are a new fan of Ms Brown, then this book will introduce you to the authors style of an entertaining adventure with a mystery and clever end. Do not miss one of my top 5 faves, Mean Streak read by the great Jonathan Davis.

Ive always enjoyed listening to Sandra Browns novels. This book followed her similar path to mystery and side romances. The characters were intriguing and the ending surprised us all. To top it off I love Victor Slezak and he did a tremendous job as always. Cant wait for the next book!

****This may be a spoiler alert, so if you are concerned about that, skip this review!!!!**** I read about 1/2 myself from a hard copy and listened to the other 1/2 on audio, switching between the 2 mediums every few chapters depending on whether I could read the hard copy myself or not at the time. I really enjoyed the first half to 3/4 of the book & was surprised by the twist at the end, but I felt like the romance part of it was just SOOOO cheesy- it really ruined the book for me. It ended up being the typical sexy-man-who-has-emotional-baggage-and-is-closed-off-and-doesnt-want-a-relationship meets similar woman and they have cheesy sexy scenes, he opens up and tells her everything, and they fall madly in love right way kind of story. By the time I realized that this cheesiness wasnt just temporary in the story, I was too far in and figured I might as well finish the book. I really wish I could give this more stars but I just cant

I have been a follower of this author in the past but this story was just not for me. I tried to get into this story but it was just too mish-moshy all over the place. The characters were not well defined; nor did any of them seem very compelling. I kind of thought the main protagonist was going to develop into a likable character but it was taking too long to get there and I quite frankly couldn\’t listen to any more.

This is good book, I like the author, the story line was interesting. But the narrator sounded like he was sleeping thru the whole thing! I love southern drawls, but the book needed a different narrator.
