Sandra Brown - Sting





I’m a huge Sandra Brown fan and have been for so many years. I have never been disappointed with any of her books. Ms. Brown’s romantic suspense novels are amazing and she is my absolute favorite author. 

I love that the location is a bayou and not in a big city. It’s the perfect setting for a romantic suspense novel to take place. This is a must read! A+

Two hitmen are out to kill Jordie Bennett. One of the hitmen, Shaw abducts Jordie wanting to get the $30 million Jordie’s brother has stolen. He’s not the only one after the money. Shaw and Jordie are on the run from the FBI and a criminal. They have to trust each other to stay alive.   

Summary:

When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard lock eyes across a disreputable backwater bar, something definitely sparks. Shaw gives off a dangerous vibe that makes men wary and inspires women to sit up and take notice. None feel that undercurrent more strongly than savvy businesswoman Jordie, who doesn’t belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a bayou. But here she is . . . and Shaw Kinnard is here to kill her.

As Shaw and his partner take aim, Jordie is certain her time has come. But Shaw has other plans and abducts Jordie, hoping to get his hands on the $30 million her brother has stolen and, presumably, hidden. However, Shaw is not the only one looking for the fortune. Her brother’s ruthless boss and the FBI are after it as well. Now on the run from the feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely on their wits-and each other-to stay alive.

Miles away from civilization and surrounded by swampland, the two play each other against their common enemies. Jordie’s only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw, but it soon becomes clear to Shaw that Jordie isn’t entirely trustworthy, either. Was she in on her brother’s scam, or is she an innocent pawn in a deadly vendetta? And just how valuable is her life to Shaw, her remorseless and manipulative captor? Burning for answers-and for each other-this unlikely pair ultimately make a desperate move that could be their last.
