Synopsis

A savvy businesswoman and an assassin struggle to outwit the FBI—and each other—in this this thrilling story of sizzling romance and shocking deception from #1 bestselling author, Sandra Brown.

"Sting is Sandra Brown running on all cylinders." ―Fort Worth Star-Telegram

When Jordie Bennet and Shaw Kinnard lock eyes across a disreputable backwater bar, something sparks. Shaw is a man who gives off a dangerous vibe that makes other men stand back and women take notice. No one feels this more strongly than Jordie, a woman who doesn't belong in a seedy dive on the banks of a bayou. But here she is ... and Shaw Kinnard is here to kill her.

As Shaw takes aim, Jordie is certain her time has come. Instead, Shaw has other plans. He abducts Jordie, hoping to get his hands on the $30 million her brother has stolen. But he isn't the only one: Jordie's brother made a deal with the FBI, but his ruthless boss will stop at nothing to find the money first. Now on the run from the feds and a notorious criminal, Jordie and Shaw must rely on their wits to stay alive.

Miles away from civilization and surrounded by swampland, Jordie and Shaw play each other against their common enemies. Jordie's only chance of survival is to outwit Shaw, but he suspects her from the start. Was she in on her brother's scam, or is she an innocent pawn in this deadly vendetta? And just how valuable is her life to Shaw, her remorseless and manipulative captor? Burning for answers—and for each other—this unlikely pair ultimately make a desperate move that could be their last.

With nonstop plot twists and the sizzling sexual tension that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's most beloved authors, Sting will keep you on the edge of your seat until its final pages.

This is a book that I needed to take a couple of days to ponder about before I wrote the review so that I could clarify why it just didn't work for me.

4.5 STARS Another jaw-dropper for Sandra Brown. I'm still in shock that I got an ARC from Netgalley... thanks for that! An intriguing plot, with characters that will keep you guessing all the way to the end. I did sort of guess the ending quite early, but I was only partially on target. I still loved......more
