I really enjoyed this book. I was disappointed to see it had been previously published, I bought it thinking it was a new book. But I hadn't read it before and thought it aged pretty well. I enjoyed the characters and the relationships between them. I did think the ending was a bit too pat and the final twist was completely unnecessary.

Oh my LORD. This book is beyond amazing. I read the entire thing in around two days because I could not put it down! I love the fact that the President and the first lady were so enviable because it made the end so much better. Vanessa's father, I could do without, he was kind of annoying but he was integral to the plot and figuring out who did it. I love Barrie. I freaking LOVE her as a character. No matter how much she got shut down, she refused to give up until she figured out who killed little baby Merritt. Spence... he was a creeper from the beginning. I won't spoil anything because you honestly have to read it to truly appreciate the masterpiece that is "Exclusive".

Finally! An epilogue worth reading! I was surprised by this book, I expected it to be something like a Dan Brown book, but it's refreshingly not anything like it. The character motives came out over time which, while it didn't provide character development, was a nice substitute since I didn't expect it in a thriller novel. Looking forward to reading another Sandra Brown book!

The romantic part is not that much, comparing to her other novels.
The plot is quite outstanding while the details, some are boring.
However, the best part is the ending. It's so freaking epic. I felt so damn surprising with 'one' character.
I would give it 3 stars if the ending isn't so well like that ;)

No doubt I love Sandra Brown's style of writing. I guess I have read too many books of her that I'm good at guessing.
There are few scenes that I have not liked much for their were practically impossible to imagine in real life. So I give credit for the creativity, this being a fictional work.
I guessed right about the cause of death of Merrit's baby, who is the actual father of the baby and other things as we turn pages.
What caught me off guard is the epilogue!
It was a great ending for suspense!

Interesting characters in a well-written story by Sandra Brown. Fast read with plot twist after plot twist that kept me reading until the last page.

4.5 stars for me. Wow. What a rollercoaster ride! Early on, I really didn't anticipate giving this one more than 3 stars, largely because of how Brown had her characters reacting to a doggo (I'm a dog mom and a lover of all dogs, so anything less than reverence doesn't go over well with me). I feel she could really use some lessons from Dean Koontz on how to write dogs into her stories.
As I continued reading, I bumped my mental rating up to a 3.5 because the characters were so well-written and engaging. The plot was well-paced and kept me turning pages, eager for more. But I saw one of the big "surprises" coming from nearly the beginning of the book so, again, I felt like there was no way my rating would change.
Near the end, I was surprised and thought, okay, Sandra Brown has done it again - another 4-star rating from me! And then... dun dun dun... I was shocked in the epilogue! The freaking epilogue! That never happens!
So, 4.5 stars is my final rating - half a star deducted because of the dog. Seriously, if that had been handled a little differently, particularly the heroine's inner dialogue about it, this would have been a 5-star read for me. I've read a lot of Brown's works and this is one of my favorites.
