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.

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.

Good Read

In the sense of a mass shooting - the emotional / physical / spiritual impact on what happens to someone after the effects of a mass shooting author did a good job with this.
The story was a surprise- overall a good read.

Okay story, narration not so good.

Not my favorite of her books. I really had a hard time listening to the reader so that may have influenced my overall feelings.

It was good…

It was a good book. I did not like the narrator for this particular story at all. He made the main female character sound like a teenager wearing braces, not a full grown adult woman. It was very off putting.

The story itself was pretty good. I enjoyed the descriptive intimate scenes myself so no complaints there. I just wish there was more happiness at the end. Or an epilogue.

Not her best

Pretty classic Sandra Brown novel, but a little far fetched and predictable. Not one of her best.

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.
