Title: A lot of tragedy, but a solid story
Review: This is a story of revenge, redemption, healing, and a little romance. I'm still fairly new to Sandra Brown, but this was a really good one. Both the highs and the lows in the story are equally great. The only issue I had is that she uses the "sudden tragic event" as a plot device a little bit too much. There's a lot that happens in this story... rape, betrayal, pregnancy, suicide, AIDS, terminal illness, allergic reactions, accidental death, car accidents, heart attacks... it's a lot to take in. And I found myself getting frustrated with Jade when she wouldn't share what happened to her with those that cared about her. I wanted to yell, "For cripe's sake, just tell them already!" Yet, I could hardly stop myself from listening. Brown knows how to write sexual chemistry.
Is the review positive or negative?
