About this listen

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, an emotional thriller where the lives of a young mother and a high-rolling consultant collide under devastating circumstances.

At a Texas county fair, children’s book author Elle Portman is enjoying a rare night out with her favorite cowboy: her two-year-old son, Charlie. But just as they’re about to head home, the unthinkable happens: a shooter opens fire into the crowd, causing widespread panic to erupt all around them. Also caught in the melee is corporate consultant Calder Hudson. When he wakes up in the hospital, he's told he's lucky. Others didn't fare we well, which instills in Calder a furious determination to get justice.

A chance encounter with Elle at the police station leads to a surprising gravitation to one another. But even as the attraction grows, Elle and Calder can’t help but wonder if the unimaginable tragedy that brought them together is too painful to bear—especially while the shooter remains at large.

Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Loved it

Listened to the whole book in one day when it usually takes several days to get finished.

Very Moving

Losing your child in a mass shooting is unimaginable. The author does the best she could trying to portray the emotions and scarring of the survivors. Unfortunately this is a part of life in America today.

Just OK

Overall, I love Sandra Brown books, but this one wasn't a favorite and didn't really read like one of hers. Maybe part was the narration, I prefer females generally speaking, but I got used to this one but wish the voices varied more. Admittedly, I didn’t know 'who done it' until it was revealed, but I'm not sure anyone would based on how information was revealed. The twists on the male lead jumped quickly and unrealistically. He wasn't a real likable character. The female was better but not as relatable as most of her characters are. It jumped months without any real explanation and seemed more like a week in 'real' time. This probably isn't real helpful information but I wouldn't have wasted a credit on it if I'd known then what I do now.

Fine performance, story was so so

I thought the premise was good but the characters were so unbelievable and the dialogue was so so so corny. I rolled my eyes the whole way through this one.

Not Sandra Brown’s best work

There was a lot of foul language that was not necessary. The story was ok, not her best; the reader was as great!

Sandra is back!

I was disappointed in the last book, but this one was pretty great. Kyf Brewer is not my favorite narrator (his women's voices are awful), but he did a mostly good job with this.

LOVE Sandra Brown but not this book

I have always loved Sandra Brown novels. They’re all pretty similar in set-up - girl and guy are thrown together in some challenging circumstance, fall in lust/love, solve the problem, live happily ever after. I always finish a book no matter how much I dislike it because I want to know how it ends. However, I don’t think I can finish this book.

The “fall in lust/love” scenario comes out of nowhere. We barely know these characters, and they are dealing with a horrific situation, and suddenly they’re in bed. The guy just suddenly falls in lust/love with no logical explanation except that he is an insensitive horn-dog with no control over himself. The girl supposedly lost something more precious to her than anything else in the world, yet she goes about her life like nothing happened and spends her time thinking about the guy. It is rushed and doesn’t make sense given what’s happening in their lives.

Sandra Brown is always good at writing the mystery villain story, and this was true up to the point that I quit reading. I WANT to know who it is and why they did it and what they do next. If I can get past the possibly-fatal flaw of disliking/not caring about the main characters, I might finish reading. If I do, I will update this review.
