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.
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.
