Out of Nowhere

De: Sandra Brown

Narrado por: Kyf Brewer, Sandra Brown

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, an emotional thriller where the lives of a young mother and a high-rolling consultant collide under devastating circumstances.

At a Texas county fair, children’s book author Elle Portman is enjoying a rare night out with her favorite cowboy: her two-year-old son, Charlie. But just as they’re about to head home, the unthinkable happens: a shooter opens fire into the crowd, causing widespread panic to erupt all around them. Also caught in the melee is corporate consultant Calder Hudson. When he wakes up in the hospital, he's told he's lucky. Others didn't fare we well, which instills in Calder a furious determination to get justice.

A chance encounter with Elle at the police station leads to a surprising gravitation to one another. But even as the attraction grows, Elle and Calder can’t help but wonder if the unimaginable tragedy that brought them together is too painful to bear—especially while the shooter remains at large.

Loved it

Listened to the whole book in one day when it usually takes several days to get finished.

Very Moving

Losing your child in a mass shooting is unimaginable. The author does the best she could trying to portray the emotions and scarring of the survivors. Unfortunately this is a part of life in America today.

Just OK

Overall, I love Sandra Brown books, but this one wasn't a favorite and didn't really read like one of hers. Maybe part was the narration, I prefer females generally speaking, but I got used to this one but wish the voices varied more. Admittedly, I didn’t know 'who done it' until it was revealed, but I'm not sure anyone would based on how information was revealed. The twists on the male lead jumped quickly and unrealistically. He wasn't a real likable character. The female was better but not as relatable as most of her characters are. It jumped months without any real explanation and seemed more like a week in 'real' time. This probably isn't real helpful information but I wouldn't have wasted a credit on it if I'd known then what I do now.

Fine performance, story was so so

I thought the premise was good but the characters were so unbelievable and the dialogue was so so so corny. I rolled my eyes the whole way through this one.

Great Read As Usual!

I look forward to every one of Sandra Brown’s new releases. This one did not disappoint!

Great Twist.

I always love Sandra Brown. This excellent!! I did not see that ending coming! She did a great job with all of the primary characters!

love Sandra Browns books

really good listening book. love Sandra's books. the audiobook is an easy way for me to read books with ink allergies.

Not Sandra Brown’s best work

There was a lot of foul language that was not necessary. The story was ok, not her best; the reader was as great!

Good read

I was afraid this would be too fraught with emotion but the story was well told and a good narration.

Emotional

I'am not good expressing myself in words . After listening to the first few
chapters, I was crying and nearly stopped the audio.
I thought it might be a factual study on trauma and grief .
I did continue and it was Sandra Brown 's fiction with all
the twists and turns.Didn't guess the villain until it was revealed.
wished there was a real epilogue --like Elle was .pregnant.
The narrating was good. Overall I recommend the book.
I have read or listened to all her books except two.There is one I
would not listen to ever again .-it was too sad.
