Resumen del Editor

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with a fast-paced, emotional thriller where the lives of a young mother and a high-rolling consultant collide under devastating circumstances—culminating in a desperate manhunt that will change their futures forever.

At a Texas county fair, amidst carousels and a bustling midway, 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 was corporate consultant Calder Hudson. Arrogant, self-centered, and high off his latest career win, he’s frustrated and confused when he wakes up in the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery on his arm. The doctor tells him that he was lucky—that as far as gunshot wounds go, he pulled through remarkably well. Others weren’t so lucky, which instills in Calder a furious determination to get justice . . . a goal shared by Elle.

Their chance encounter at the police station leads to a surprising and inexplicable 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 and too complicated to sustain—especially while the shooter remains at large.

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.

Great Story - Not a Narrator on Fan

Another winning story By Sandra Brown which deals with a very difficult subject. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, their weaknesses and strengths.

The narration was hard to differentiate one character from another. One character sounded like she was a 70 year old 3 pack a day smoker, when she was really much younger.

Kyf Brewer is a usually pretty good narrator but this book wasn’t for him especially since many characters are female. His voice is just too deep to convincingly portray women.

The Twist

Loved this book but the twist to me which was shocking and daring was who the killer turned out to be. The reasons why and the fallout had me enthralled.

Outstanding

I believe this was the best book she wrote. Just the right amount of suspense and just the right amount of sex and passion. I will definitely listen to it again.

There might have been a good story here

The underlying story might have been good. It is hard to tell. There was too much wrong. First of all, the story started with Elle's child being fatally shot. The book didn't focus on the major grief of this. Instead a heated romance comes out of her meeting Caulder who was also shot in this mass shooting, but he recovered quickly. The loss of Elle's child got lost in the shuffle. Elle's and Caulder's "relationship" was way too detailed, and if there was supposed to be chemistry, it fell flat. The story went on and on, to the point that I didn't have any interest in finishing it. But I pushed on to see how it was going to play out. It was never ending and nothing was really happening. Hours of listening, but it lacked a certain clarity.

The casual upbeat tone of the narration was a complete mismatch. The lilting lightweight manner with which the text was read was in opposition to what was going on. The serious nature of the material in the book just didn't come across. The narrator lacked the gravitas of the story's situation, and when he voiced Calder's character the attractiveness and charisma of his character was absent. The women's voices sounded silly.

There were a lot of good reviews, so I was surprised once I listened to it. The story was meandering and it was just boring.

Loved it!

Need more then one book a year!! So much excitement and action!! Lots twists in the story loved it!

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.

Great book!

I listened to this book and a grabbed you right from the first paragraph and held you all the way to last sentence.

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!
