After the tragic loss of her parents, she never really moved on from grieving and just shut her emotions off.
She’s beautiful, she’s accomplished, she’s kind but what’s missing is her heart. Emory Charbonneau, a philanthropic doctor and humanitarian. The hero (I refuse to divulge his name so you could experience the novel to the fullest), is an enigma and to avoid spoiling you, I wouldn’t talk about him anymore. The hero and the heroine are also the most interesting ones I’ve come to read about. There’s just no guarantee where Brown would take the story and that’s what make her novels so riveting. She’d keep you guessing what really happened, who did what and while you may get some of it right, rest assured you’d miss a vital detail that would complete the picture or, you’d totally get it all wrong. She would give you cliffy chapter enders that would compel you to read on and on. Brown really knows how to play her readers. The secrets unraveled so slowly but still managed to shock. I was so sure who the culprit was but was sucker-punched into a different and unpredictable twist instead. The mystery was kept alive until the last few chapters. Mean Streak checked all the right boxes with regards to a great romantic suspense. After just two books from her, I know that she’s a master of the genre. I understand now why this is Brown’s most popular work.
This is only my second Sandra Brown novel after Chill Factor and I can say that it is definitely better. MY REVIEW: 4 of 5 stars to Mean Streak by Sandra Brown ★★★★ 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.Īs the FBI closes in on her captor, Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is, in fact, her rescuer. Unexpectedly, however, the two have a dangerous encounter with people who adhere to a code of justice all their own.
She’s determined to escape him, and willing to take any risks necessary to survive. 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. Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search for her. By the time her husband Jeff, miffed over a recent argument, reports her missing, the trail has grown cold. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina. “But owning the pain, running through it, overcoming it, was a matter of self-will and discipline.”ĭr. Genre: Romantic Suspense Published: August 19th 2014 by Grand Central Publishing Rating: 4/5 stars ★★★★ Title: Mean Streak Author: Sandra Brown Series: N/A
