Romance Suspense

Jordie Bennet finds herself in a disreputable bar waiting for a mysterious caller in hopes of finding out where her brother is and what happened to his being safely hidden away by the Feds. Finding herself hit on by a drunk and deciding this was a horrible mistake, she tries to leave. That's when the world explodes around her and she thinks she has fallen into a world class STING. Shaw Kinnard's orders are to kill Jordie but he has other plans. Jordie's brother had absconded with $30 million dollars and who wouldn't want to get their hands on that? Now if he can just get the abducted Jordie to tell him where the brother is and if she knows where the money is. Before they know it they have no choice but to rely on each other even when truths become lies and lies become truths and only together will they survive. I know others have said they couldn't put a book down but ... oh-my could I not put STING down. Just when you think you know Shaw and Jordie and who the good guys and bad guys are author Sandra Brown throws you a curve. If you love playing detective as I do, you will find you just can't do it, when you think you have a handle on what is happening, there is a twist and you are going down another road. When I had finished it I just stared at the last page and wondered how the amazing finale got there. I admit I haven't read many of Ms. Brown's books but if they are like this one I can't wait to get my hands on more. STING is well written, easy to follow (even when you are flummoxed with what is happening next) with characters that seem realistic and on the most part likable. I actually liked Shaw from the beginning but who likes a hitman and Jordie I thought had a painful past that would sooner or later come out allowing us to feel for her. If you want danger, mystery, romance with a good bit of steam and more surprises than seems possible then STING is the book you need in your hands.

SUMMARY

When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard locked eyes across a run-down bayou bar, something definitely sparked between them. Shaw was the kind of tall, dark and ruthless man who was bad news to women and stunning, elegant Jordie definitely shouldn't have been in a dive like this. Unfortunately, romance wasn't in the air; Shaw Kinnard was there to kill her. As Shaw's partner takes aim at the New Orleans party planner, she's certain her time has come, but Shaw has other plans. The hitman abducts Jordie hoping to get his hands on the 30 million dollars her brother has stolen. Now on the run from the FBI and her brother's crooked boss, they'll have to work together to stay alive, but staying together might be the most dangerous thing they could do.
