"Another great Sandra Brown suspense"

Fresh Fiction Review

Friction
Sandra Brown

Reviewed by Helen Williams

Thriller | Romance Suspense

This is another great novel by Sandra Brown. FRICTION is full of intrigue that will keep you guessing. I read it in one day because I could not put it down. Sandra Brown is great in writing novels that keep you in suspense. There are unexpected secrets revealed, family reconciliation, and unconditional love from a father for his daughter.

Texas Ranger Crawford Hunt is trying to regain custody of his five-year old daughter Georgia from his in-laws. Four years ago when his wife died, Crawford's life spiraled out of control. Now that he has his life back in control, he has to appear in court for a custody battle before family court Judge Holly Spenser to prove that he should regain custody of his daughter.

Right before Holly can deliver her decision in court regarding custody, a masked gunman bursts into the courtroom wielding a gun. Crawford does what he is trained to do and goes into action and saves Holly's life. His actions will backfire on him because it will reflect on actions he took four years ago. This story will reveal who the real target is and the reason behind it.

FRICTION has the right title because there is sexual friction between Crawford and Holly, tense friction between Crawford and his father-in-law, and contentious friction between him and a police detective.

Crawford is desperate to regain custody of his daughter but because of all the issues that are going on things are not looking good for him. Crawford is willing to fight dirty to prove he is fit to raise his daughter.

There will be a well-kept secret revealed that could possibly change everything. There is a sad reconciliation between Crawford and his father. This story shows how far a father will go to protect his daughter and the woman he now has strong feelings for. Holly proves that she will stand by Crawford even if it means career suicide.

SUMMARY

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown comes a gripping story of family ties and forbidden attraction.

Crawford Hunt wants his daughter back. Following the death of his wife four years ago, Crawford, a Texas Ranger, fell into a downward spiral that left him relegated to desk work and with his five-year-old daughter Georgia in the custody of her grandparents. But Crawford has cleaned up his act, met all the court imposed requirements, and now the fate of his family lies with Judge Holly Spencer.

Holly, ambitious and confident, temporarily occupies the bench of her recently deceased mentor. With an election upcoming, she must prove herself worthy of making her judgeship permanent. Every decision is high-stakes. Despite Crawford's obvious love for his child and his commitment to being an ideal parent, Holly is wary of his checkered past. Her opinion of him is radically changed when a masked gunman barges into the courtroom during the custody hearing. Crawford reacts instinctively, saving Holly from a bullet.

But his heroism soon takes on the taint of recklessness. The cloud over him grows even darker after he uncovers a horrifying truth about the courtroom gunman and realizes that the unknown person behind the shooting remains at large . . .and a threat.

Catching the real culprit becomes a personal fight for Crawford. But pursuing the killer in his customary diehard fashion will jeopardize his chances of gaining custody of his daughter, and further compromise Judge Holly Spencer, who needs protection not only from an assassin, but from Crawford himself and the forbidden attraction between them.

FRICTION will keep you on the edge of your seat with breathtaking plot twists and the unforgettable characters that make Sandra Brown one of the world's best-loved authors. It is an extraordinary novel about the powerful ties that bind us to the ones we love and the secrets we keep to protect them.
