This is a real switch... Okay, I admit to buying this book. But then I set it aside for a long time and finally decided to read it over the past weekend. I know Sandra Brown's name is on the cover of this book...but, I guess I'm still scratching my head about this. Envy was actually a good read. I had a problem with a big NY editor taking a prologue submitted with only the initials P.M.E. for identification and getting all excited enough to attempt to find the author. Let's get real here, NY editors would pitch something like this so fast it would make your head swim. BUT, we must remember this was a fiction story, so I allowed my imagination to run a little wild. Regardless, the plot was good, the characters played out very well, and I didn't want to stop reading. Not just a little different from some of Brown's other books I've read, it's a WHOLE LOT different. And that's about all I think I want to say here. Great read. Go for it.
WOW, what a comeback! I had stopped reading Brown's books because they were too shallow. BUT, for some reason I took this off the library shelf and once I started I didn't want to put it down. A book within a book kept it twice as hot.Sure, you begin to catch on, or think you do but there's a new twist in the plots of the two books and you're at it again from a new angle. One writer can't please everybody, hence the negative reviews. The book is a mystery, romance, and sexy almost thrller book. The characters are the love or hate types but you will find yourself switching them around as the story reaches the final climax. Sex scenes are not for puritans but you learn a wheelchair is not a turn-off! Other reviewers go into more detail so read them if you want more before you read it. I started reading it without any fore knowledge and I loved discovering it for myself. I do hope you read it and love it as I did, And then read it all over again! Congrats to Sandra Brown,could not put it down I was hooked after the first chapter! great book good not put it down.
