This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I have to say - well done, Ms. Brown. She delivered another cleverly crafted story. I found myself completely enamored with her writing and this cast of characters. Not to the mention, the great innuendos, the witty banter and the feels all intertwined with the suspense. I couldn’t get enough.Ms. Brown pulled me into the story with the action, led me down a path that made me believe I knew exactly what was happening and who I could trust

This is an intense, high octane, character driven thriller set in Louisiana, its bayous and swamplands. This is the first book I have read by the author, and I thought it was absolutely terrific. Jordan Elaine Bennett, Jordie, enters a bayou bar that she normally would not be seen in. Shaw Kinnard, along with another hitman are in the bar, and Jordie is their mark. Before you know it, all hell breaks loose. Shaw abducts Jordie, after taking out the other hitman. Jordie has a wanted and criminal

4.5 Wonderful Stars. Sandra Brown delivers a solid work here! It was my first time reading Sandra Brown. I did not know what to anticipate from Sting and I must say that it had been a tremendously great time. At first, I was lost. But once the game initiated, I was unstoppable. Multiple characters within the characters, offer you an opportunity to live multiple lives within just one book. Realistic actions, dialogues, their background were enough to keep me enthralled.Suspense and Romance are th...

***ARC Provided by the Publisher and NetGalley***Sting is a heart racing, edge of your seat, no clue how it is going to work out string of surprises. Each chapter bringing a new revelation that left me unable to stop without knowing what could possibly happen next. Shaw Kinnard is a hit man. Probably. But it is a Sandra Brown novel, and if you have read her before you know there is a chance that you don’t know everything these is to know about Shaw. Jordie is a woman trying to hold her life toge...

4.5 StarsI almost gave up on this. The thing is, this book starts real slow. Nothing makes sense, you don’t know who, what, where and why. And I thought to myself: This is it. I finally stumbled upon a SB book I don’t like.One of the best books I’ve read by this author.

Some authors are an "auto-buy" for me. The anticipation of release date is BIG. SB is one of those authors! And, it is a little bit of pressure on an author when you are waiting in 'anticipation' for such a book. Did she disappoint? Fuck, No. SHE.DID.NOT. I loved it. Every single minute!!! I sort of begrudge having to pay more than $6 for an ebook. This one was close to $13 ... but if she can give me a stellar read that keeps me interested for a number of days, it is worth it.I really didn't rea...

4.5 starsUnapproachable was Jordie Bennett. [..]No two ways about it, she could make just about any man's mouth water.Which kinda sucked.Since Shaw had been hired to kill her.Shaw Kinnard, assassin-for-hire and his associate are killing time in a bar in the Louisiana boondocks, when in walks Jordie Bennett, their hit. But Shaw, keen to take advantage of the situation, decides instead to abduct Jordie, whisking her off to a decrepit hideout in the bayous.Over the next thirty-six hours, Shaw tries...

4.5 STARSAnother jaw-dropper for Sandra Brown. I'm still in shock that I got an ARC from Netgalley... thanks for that! An intriguing plot, with characters that will keep you guessing all the way to the end. I did sort of guess the ending quite early, but I was only partially on target. I still loved the story. I would have liked a little more from the romance, but in retrospect, the intrigue and sexual tension, was probably more effective. Why not a 5? Blame some of her other books, like Envy, a...

Review written August 22, 20164.2 Stars - Jet again another 'winner' by the talented SB who never dissapoint you in this romantic suspense genreAh, oh, wow, yeah!! — I just finished the very NEW Sandra Brown novel. And? Goodie, good good! Lazy as I am nowadays I chosed to listening to the audiobook — 11:40 hours splendid good narrated by a man with a perfect husky manly voice. Stephen Lang is a "safe card" you can trust. **********************************************Maybe Sting, Jordie Bennet...

The extra star because it is Sandra Brown, otherwise one star.Sandra Brown has a good marketing strategy, one book a year and no more. Keep them expectant, filled with gushing anticipation. It works dandy. When one of the most famous (and one of the best) writers in the RS genre releases a book, you are already primed to believe that some fine work has gone into it. And often Sandra Brown delivers on that carefully cultivated expectation. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times. As is with...

By now you all know I love Sandra Brown. Her books are amazing. I’ve read a number of them and most, if not all, were 4 or 5 star reviews. Sting can be added to that list. Another fantastic read. I loved the suspense. I loved the intrigue.I loved Shaw Kinnard.I loved Jordie Bennet.I loved the sexual tension, the build-up, the anticipation. As with her other books I would suggest not reading many reviews. Everything you need to know is in her synopsis. I won’t be saying much about the plot

Sandra Brown is one of my favorite suspense novelists. Her books all follow a simple recipe: Strong professional woman falling for tough bad guy (heart of gold- just misunderstood). Toss in a great story involving the FBI (or police), an all-out manhunt, and you have yourself a perfect Sandra Brown novel. Oh, and don't forget a dash of romance! Don't get me wrong, this recipe is a delicious success. Lol! Works every time, and I keep coming back for more! As good as always...hungry for the next!

Dang!!! This book was great!! I hadn't read one Sandra's "grown-up" books in a while. This book had a little of everything romance, suspense, and mystery.

4 Suspenseful Stars!! Sandra Brown is one of my favorite romantic suspense writers, her novels keep me on the edge, her character are intriguing, mysterious, and some are just plain sinister. This story centers around Jordan “Jordie” Bennet, her brother Josh Bennet and her brother's troubles with his employer who is determined to stop Josh from testifying against him on his multiple fraudulent schemes and all of the missing money. In order to avoid prison, Josh is working the with the FBI. Na

Every now and then I come across a Sandra Brown book that just doesn't do it for me. This is one of them. To me, Sting felt very formulaic and predictable. Everything felt a little contrived.I never got involved with the characters, there were no 'OMG' moments, no 'I have to keep reading, I simply can't bear to put this book down' times. In fact it took me a whole two weeks to read and I would go several days without picking it up.So, sorry Ms Brown, but while there is nothing intrinsically wron...

Sting by Sandra Brown in a 2016 Grand Central Publication. You gotta love Sandra Brown’s consistency! Sting is another solid and quintessential romantic suspense novel from Brown, whose stories have kept me on the edge of my seat for decades. Jordie Bennett is a successful business woman, but is still living in the dark shadow cast by her brother, Josh, which is how she winds up being kidnapped by Shaw Kinnard, a man hired by a powerful criminal to kill Jordie. But, before he completes his missi...

This is a book that I needed to take a couple of days to ponder about before I wrote the review so that I could clarify why it just didn't work for me. Sting is the second Sandra Brown book I have read in my life, actually, this is the first book I managed to finish. I read one last year or tried, but I could not finish it. And, that's because the plot was so infuriating and I just couldn't stand the characters. This book was better, marginally. Well, I did manage to finish it at least and it se...

STING by the talented author Sandra Brown always delivers a romantic suspense novel that is sure to please. This was no exception. Her characters are mysterious and intriguing and the plot grabs your attention.This story centers around Jordan “Jordie” Bennet, and her brother Josh Bennet. Josh has problems with his employer who is trying to stop Josh from testifying against him on fraudulent missing money schemes. Josh is working with the FBI in order to avoid prison time. Obviously, his employer...

Genre: Romantic SuspenseSetting: Louisiana POVs: Multiple, 3rd personRomance: 2/5Jordan Elaine Bennett is caught in a firestorm of suspicion after a Ponzi scheme involving her younger brother, Josh, comes to light. The two have a strained relationship to begin with but Jordan never anticipates just how deeply disturbed her brother is. This story started off okay but became progressively unexciting. The dialogue seemed stiff in some areas and even the few twists in the story seemed uneventful. Th...
