Commentary As Books Mean Streak
From #1 New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown comes a heart-pounding story of survival, that takes the age-old question, "Does the end justify the means?" and turns it on its head.Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina. By the time her husband Jeff, miffed over a recent argument, reports her missing, the trail has grown cold. Literally. Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search for her.
While police suspect Jeff of "instant divorce," Emory, suffering from an unexplained head injury, regains consciousness and finds herself the captive of a man whose violent past is so dark that he won't even tell her his name. She's determined to escape him, and willing to take any risks necessary to survive.
Unexpectedly, however, the two have a dangerous encounter with people who adhere to a code of justice all their own. At the center of the dispute is a desperate young woman whom Emory can't turn her back on, even if it means breaking the law. Wrong becomes right at the hands of the man who strikes fear, but also sparks passion.
As her husband's deception is revealed, and the FBI closes in on her captor, Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is, in fact, her rescuer from those who wish her dead - and from heartbreak.
Combining the nail-biting suspense and potent storytelling that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best loved authors, MEAN STREAK is a wildly compelling novel about love, deceit, and the choices we must make in order to survive.

Audio...5 stars Story.... 2 Stuck in Time stars It's been about 30 years since I've read a Sandra Brown book. She was an absolute favorite author of mine back in the day because her books were racier and grittier than most of the romance books I was reading. Back in the 80s and 90s I'd have to say she was ahead of the times. Now, in 2020, I have to say she is stuck in time. I can't believe that nothing much has changed in her storytelling style. I'm so disappointed. But that's just me. I've"Suspension of disbelief" shouldn't feel like your brain is dangling from a bungee cord . I'm so disappointed in this. Absurd plot, cardboard heroine, hero whose bizarre behavior has to be explained with a backstory so convoluted it felt like something Brown put off until she could no longer postpone giving him a motive. ("... so then the reason I allowed you to believe you'd been assaulted and kidnapped by a deranged mass murderer is that I didn't want to upset you. Or something... Shit, that's
And of course I had to wait until last 5% to find out who the bad guy is. But it was worth it!
Sandra Brown is one of my favourite romantic suspense writers and whilst her latest book, Mean Streak is a good one, its not as good as some of her earlier novels like Breath of Scandal and French Silk, just two of my favourites.One of the things she does well is how she manages to surprise me every time....just when I think I have it all worked out...I know who the villain is....BAM....no, not anything I thought I knew!!!! And once again, she does this in this fast paced story that includes
Dr Emory Charbonneau, preparing for an upcoming marathon, disappears while on a twenty-mile run in the high mountain altitude of North Carolina. Suffering from a concussion, she wakes in a hut with a man who claims he found her unconscious in the snow, and who refuses to give her his name. With no phone, no way of communicating with the outside world, and with thick fog and heavy, falling snow, it is impossible to leave.As usual in a Sandra Brown thriller there are twists and turns, red herrings
5 STARS[image error] He kissed her like he meant it, like this kiss was going to be the last thing he ever did on earth, and he was going to do it right, thoroughly, and leave nothing wanting. Yes, Im back to Sandra Brown. And honestly, I just cant get enough of these suspense/thriller/romances. These books have kept me on the edge of my seat, like a page-turning maniac. And I am always struggling to work it all out in my head. This one was no different, although a little more predictable than
