Publisher's summary

Since moving to Austin to ease the pain of tragic mistakes, Paris Gibson has led a life of virtual isolation, coming alive only at night when she hosts her popular radio show. Then one listener - who identifies himself as "Valentino" - tells Paris that the girl he loves jilted him because of Paris's on-air advice. He intends to exact revenge by killing the girl and then coming after Paris.

Desperate to stop the sinister Valentino, Paris enlists the help of the police - including crime psychologist Dean Malloy, the very man she had hoped never to meet again....

Not bad - but not her best

I do love to hear Victor Slezak read Sandra Brown books so it was a fine way to spend a rainy afternoon. It is not in the same league with many of her other books though.

Sandra Brown rocks another one.

Exceptional listen. Loved it. Has all the usual twist and turns. Suspenseful. I hate when one of her books ends you get so involved with the characters you miss then . Narrator was good easy to follow and to listen to.

A+ development of characters thoughout the book

Victor Slezak is perfect for Brown's books- excellent at all the voices & their point of views.

Brown is excellent at tapping various characters as potentials for solving the mystery of who 'Valentino' is.
She interweaves the book's love story and the main character's past beautifully - using plot incidents to provide one more bit of information. Although this is a very far-fetched plot, all of her characters are believable, which had me sympathizing with some of the 'bad guys'.

Sandra does it again

Another great Sandra Brown thriller... complete with unseen twists, great romance, and the best narration for her books in Victor Slezak, I’m a complete fan! Any of her books is an automatic purchase... every book is better than the last...

Interesting

While slow to start, the story did pick up. I enjoyed the narration most of all. I kept guessing until the end, but was slightly disappointed once I got there. A few descriptions in this story made me uncomfortable, but I do understand the need to use it. Overall, good book. Not the best (in my opinion) Sandra Brown book, but enjoyable.
