At the 25th anniversary of the Pegasus bombing Kerra Bailey, a local reporter wants to interview the national hero Major Franklin Trapper, who saved along with others a 5-year-old girl from the building. The Major though had refused all interviews the past few years and Kerra’s only hope to meet the Major was through his son, John Trapper ,an ex ATF officer who now ran a detective agency. After the interview an attempt was made at Kerra and the Major’s life which led to a non stop action with murder, kidnapping , FBI , Texas Rangers and a shady lawyer all thrown in the mix.
This was a great romantic suspense by Sandra Brown that I finished in a few hours. It has a lots of twists and turns with a few surprises at the end. The sarcastic banter between Trapper and Kerra along with the sizzling romance and with non-stop actin makes this book quite an entertaining read that I would recommend to all mystery lovers.
Many thanks to Grand Central Publishing& NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest and fair review.

Typical Sandra Brown thriller - sexy woman meets tough guy. They instantly have sparks, but something prevents them from being together, e.g. stubbornness, pride. This novel is about a reporter, Kerra Bailey (sexy woman), trying for an interview with Major Franklin Trapper. He continually denies her requests, so she tries to get through to The Major via his son, John Trapper (tough guy). It seems that The Major rescued Kerra from a hotel bombing 25 years earlier, and she plans to disclose that during the interview. However, after the interview is over, someone tries to kill both Kerra and The Major. There is a complicated backstory on how this attempt is tied to the bombing of the hotel all those years ago.
I am getting weary of the same basic storyline from these novels.

4.5 stars. Very good. Liked the pacing. Didn't figure out the ending completely, but I got some of it. This is my first time reading this author and I see what all the fuss is about. She's fantastic. I plan to read more by her.

From the queen of romantic suspense, Sandra Brown returns following, (2016) Sting, (2015) Friction, making my 2015 Top 50 Books, and (2014) Mean Streak with “prime” movie-worthy SEEING RED.
From the Pegasus Hotel in downtown Dallas, a 1992 historic event killing hundreds twenty-five years ago, to the present.
Kerra Bailey is a hungry TV journalist. She wants an interview with the legendary Major Franklin Trapper.
After all, he was a hero of the bombing of the Hotel. The 25th Anniversary of the event, Kerra is determined to land the story.
The Major became a national hero after an award-winning picture was captured of him rescuing a group of people, including an innocent 5-year-old little girl, in the aftermath of a hotel bombing.
Kerra’s life was spared. She was the little girl which is now revealed. Why is he a recluse now, after being famous for so long? Why problems between father and son?
Everyone has secrets and motives . . .
She must go through his estranged son, former ATF agent John Trapper. John wants no part of the Major.
What were the motives behind Major's heroism?
Enter a tension-filled relationship between John and Kerra. (of course, who does romantic tension) better than Brown?
Will Kerra (beautiful and savvy) and Trapper (rough, hot, sexy) wind up joining forces and risk their lives in order to expose a conspiracy and uncover the murderer of Major Trapper?
From tension, murder, conspiracy, crimes, danger, betrayal, deceit, and lots of sizzle –Brown delivers another edgy twisty mystery suspense thriller, combined with hot romantic suspense and humor.
SEEING RED will continue to keep Brown fans satisfied and longing for a movie. We can only imagine the cast of stars playing out on the big screen. I also purchased the audiobook narrated by Victor Slezak for an entertaining performance.
A special thank you to Grand Central and NetGalley for an early reading copy.

3.5 - I enjoyed her book “Mean Streak” more than this, but still a good mindless distraction.

Good start to my 2018 challenge. Well paced thriller. Easy to figure out but still kept me guessing some things until the end.
