Not a light romantic read. Much more

Very hard to put down this lengthy recorded book. Never felt like it had any filler, every scene or event important. The romance was actually a smaller part of it. The heroes struggle to seek justice was the overriding impetus. Though the hard won HEA was awesome as well. Definitely worth the time and using a credit.

A Sacrament taken too lightly—partial spoiler

A main fairly sympathetically portrayed main character pretends to be a Catholic priest tricks another character into literally going to confession to hm. I’ve seen this portrayed in movies etc where it happens accidentally or an fully evil character does it. But this character absolutely premeditates it—gets training on what to say and has a friend waylay the real Priest. This is a desecration to me and taken way too lightly by the author. My first book from this author. I won’t seek her out again.

Fat Tuesday

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this book. I could not put it down!

story line

loved it all. Great narration. kept me eager to get to the end. the suspense was killing me.

Worth the credit

I love Sandra Brown. The book gives us romance and mystery with memorable characters.
Jack Garrett's narration was wonderful.

Excellent!

Great story and thoughtful presentation. It depicted corruption of the police land the justice department while weaving in a love story.

Great Sandra Brown

I must admit I did see the twist coming in this book, they all have them, still in her fashion, Sandra puts out another great story...my first listening to jack Garrett,,, he was definitely an asset , will not hesitate on his narration as it comes available...

Predictable popcorn

I hated myself for enjoying this but if you want a lightweight read that does not require a lot of your attention while you shop or clean on the weekends, then this book is for you. The characters are cut-out but the plot moves rapidly if not somewhat improbably. And you learn a little about life in the Louisiana swamps.

Not my Favorite SB

I've read quite a few Sandra Brown novels so far and have really enjoyed them. this one just did not hit for me. I didn't buy the romance between the two main characters. the tension between the love interests that I think Sandra Brown is kind of famous for at this point just did not exist between the two characters. We're able to hear inner monologue and yet we never really hear her have feelings for him until they suddenly kiss at almost the end of the book. and I couldn't enjoy the moment because I didn't really feel that she had in any way expressed that this would be something she'd be open to. Even he doesn't really express feelings for her beyond thinking that she's beautiful and having somewhat of an innate attraction to her. in the last two chapters of the book he kind of explains why he thinks she's special, but everything up to that was pretty superficial. The book is kind of long and drawn out, there's definitely lulls in the activity. There is a nice few twists at the end but overall this was extremely disappointing and kind of felt like a waste of time. I spent a lot of time waiting for things to pick up but the overall pace of the book was pretty slow and didn't really keep my attention the way that other SB books have.

Best

After reading many Sandra Brown books and liking them all this was the best. I couldn't stop listening to it.
