Publisher's summary

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.

A tragic bu captivating. story

I'm sure it took Sandra Brown a great deal of "guts" to write this story. To immerse yourself so thoroughly in the gur-wrenching tragedy of losing your child takes you into an emotional journey that no one should attempt. Sandra Brown did it sensitively and with grace. Thank you.

Not my favorite

This was not my favorite book. I didn’t love the story. The narrator made it hard to follow who was speaking - his female voices were awful! However the twisted ending kept me listening to the end!

Hard to listen to

I enjoyed the layers of the story that the author presented. I wished they would have use a different narrator

Emotional

I'am not good expressing myself in words . After listening to the first few
chapters, I was crying and nearly stopped the audio.
I thought it might be a factual study on trauma and grief .
I did continue and it was Sandra Brown 's fiction with all
the twists and turns.Didn't guess the villain until it was revealed.
wished there was a real epilogue --like Elle was .pregnant.
The narrating was good. Overall I recommend the book.
I have read or listened to all her books except two.There is one I
would not listen to ever again .-it was too sad.

Entertaining as always

Sandra Brown audio books are a must listen for me; she tells great stories with characters you care about. This is right out of the headlines, a mass shooting and aftermath. This is not dark or depressing but a view of the shooter and victims. I also enjoyed the author's note. The reader was good, but unfortunately a few NY accents crept in this book set in Dallas.
