Awesome book, really hard to put down. Have not ever read anything by this author that was not outstanding. This is a book about a reporter that's called by the "first lady" that wants to meet her. The first lady & her President just lost a child to SIDS and it takes off from there. A lot of suspense, romance and very surprising ending.

Investigative Reporter Barrie Travis works at a small market television station. She is shocked when she receives a call from First Lady Vanessa Merritt who wants to talk to her. During their face-to-face discussion, Barrie realizes that Vanessa is still grief stricken by the S.I.D.S. death of her infant son three months ago. Vanessa also alludes to the fact that the baby may have been murdered. Barrie decides to do some digging and begins to believe that the Merritt baby was murdered. But proving it will not be easy. Barrie approaches Gray Bondurant, a former Presidential Advisor who left Washington under a cloud of suspicion about his relationship with the First Lady.

I have mixed feelings about this romantic suspense book. The characters did not seem very realistic to me. Yes, the president has a lot of power, but I find it hard to believe that he could pull off some of the things that happen in this book. Still, I enjoyed the overall suspense story and kept turning the pages to see what would happen next. I didn't like the romance between Barrie and Gray. I think the story could have been much better without that element.

I loved how the story wrapped up, especially the little twist at the very end. Overall, an entertaining but problematic read. My rating: 4 Stars.

This was an interesting read, in that it is 25 years old, and it seemed so odd that today's technology was missing. But it was enjoyable nevertheless and I read quickly to the end. Characters somewhat contrived, but still a good read.

A thriller that is filled with unexpected twists and turns. My favorite kind!! The setting is a fast-paced newsroom and the White House. How many times have we wondered about the news we get from the White House via our reporters and Sandra Brown's book will make us see layers we never knew existed. Plus enough sex and romance to add some fun.
