Even up until about five or six years ago, I still preferred romance in my violence over violence in my romance.

Great mystery thriller and OHHH ALEX....! I loved the romance between him and Cat. I just wish that the identity of the killer would have been more surprising and less obvious, because I figured that character pretty quikly.

:A medical miracle gives TV personality Cat Delaney more than a new heart. With her second chance at life Cat trades Hollywood for San Antonio, where she hosts a TV show for children with special needs. Here she meets Alex Pierce, an ex-cop turned crime writer-and the first man to see her as a woman since her surgery. But her new world turns sinister when fatal "accidents" begin killing other heart recipients, and a mysterious stalker starts shadowing her every move. Soon Cat realizes Alex may-or may not-be her most important ally and that her new heart comes at a terrible price: a tangled web of secrets and someone determined to take her life." (From Amazon)

A great suspense read.

This was a great story with an interesting plot. Felt that I could not put the book down.

Fast paced suspenseful book. There were several characters that were hard to keep track of - I think she could have left a few of them out.

When I first started reading thrillers, I started with Sandra Brown. I first read [b:Lethal|10875239|Lethal|Sandra Brown|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1301590794l/10875239._SX50_.jpg|15729222] (which is her best book in my opinion) and then I had to read more. I have generally enjoyed most of her books but for some reason this one fell a little flat for me. There was a disconnect somewhere and I found that I didn't care about what happened. Maybe it was the plot, which I didn't love, or maybe it was the characters. And then the ending which was a huge disappointment. I finished this because I don't like to give up on a book, but there were a couple of moments when I almost did just that. If you are looking to read a Brown novel, then I would highly suggest that you don't start with this one. I just don't think it is a good representation of her work. So all in all, I enjoy Sandra Brown books but I didn't enjoy this one.
