Not sure how it's possible, but Sandra Brown certainly out did herself with this crazy twisted crime novel of epic proportions. Not even the best arm chair detectives among her long list of fans will ferret out the ending even armed with a litany of clues. The ending is vintage Sandra Brown and STING is definitely one of her best yet and that's saying a lot.

STING is smart, sassy, sexy and satisfying. Page by page Brown sends you down a path that has more twist and turns than you can imagine. There are some wonderful characters to meet in STING and some will surprisingly become quite dear. Seems the scruffier they are the better in one of Sandra Brown's books.

Jordan has had a tough time living within what had definitely become a dysfunctional family. And that's being kind. Her relationship with her brother Josh is the stuff nightmares are made of. Josh just can't get out of his own way and with the guilt trip he had laid on Jordie all these years -- he doesn't have to. She steps in whenever he is in another jam. But this newest problem is one that won't just disappear and Jordie is out of solutions.

Now it seems that there are hitmen out to get her wayward brother and they have Jordie in their sights as well.

I'm sure all Sandra Brown fan has a list of favorites and I think STING is a strong contender for a spot on that list. In STING Sandra Brown intelligently has her characters difficult to figure. Her characters seem to cross lines making it a task to ferret out the bad guys from the good ones. As always Brown makes sure that her reader gets invested in the characters in STING.

SUMMARY

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with another suspenseful, sexy thriller-now in paperback!

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sandra Brown jolts the reader from the first page of this heart-pounding story of corruption, treachery, and ceaseless deception . . . where nothing is what it seems and every truth brought to light exposes a darker lie.

When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard lock eyes across a disreputable backwater bar, something definitely sparks. Shaw gives off a dangerous vibe that makes men wary and inspires women to sit up and take notice. None feel that undercurrent more strongly than savvy businesswoman Jordie, who doesn't belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a bayou. But here she is . . . and Shaw Kinnard is here to kill her.

As Shaw and his partner take aim, Jordie is certain her time has come. But Shaw has other plans and abducts Jordie, hoping to get his hands on the $30 million her brother has stolen and, presumably, hidden. However, Shaw is not the only one looking for the fortune. Her brother's ruthless boss and the FBI are after it as well. Now on the run from the feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely on their wits-and each other-to stay alive.

Miles away from civilization and surrounded by swampland, the two play each other against their common enemies. Jordie's only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw, but it soon becomes clear to Shaw that Jordie isn't entirely trustworthy, either. Was she in on her brother's scam, or is she an innocent pawn in a deadly vendetta? And just how valuable is her life to Shaw, her remorseless and manipulative captor? Burning for answers-and for each other-this unlikely pair ultimately make a desperate move that could be their last.

With nonstop plot twists and the tantalizing sexual tension that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best-loved authors, STING will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final pages.
