Where There's Smoke [With Earbuds] Book

I did a re-read as I just could not get into any new book I started. Yes, it was just as good the second time around. Looking forward to her new release on August 25th (hope it is better than her last book - I wasn't a huge fan of that one).


ORIGINAL REVIEW ...

Enjoyed this one. Love it when the main characters start out not liking each other. Well, he definitely did not like for… and for a good reason.

No one knows why Dr. Lara Mallory came back home to Eden Pass, Texas to open up her medical practice after all these years. But everyone remembers her role in the well-publicized scandal that caused the downfall of White House hopeful Senator Clark Tackett....


To be honest, I had figured out some of the "WOW" factors that came along but that did not deter me from enjoying the book. Some parts were a bit unbelievable but with fiction, you have to suspend the disbelief the odd time.

Love was a word that poets and songwriters used … Key had never seen any evidence of its magic, unless it was black magic....


There were a few twists and turns. Key's mother was some piece of work, the manipulative bitch. The townspeople were stuck in their ways. I liked Key's sister and her story.


I have read a mixture of Sandra Brown's old and new books and her style has definitely developed in a good way.


Her will was voluntarily surrendered, and her mind went on a sensuous ride where nothing mattered except the connection mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue, man to woman. It fulfilled a primal need she wasn't even aware she possessed ......

His name drifted across her lips - a question, a profession, a prayer ......

Had to wait a long time for a steamy sex scene…but sometimes the anticipation is worth it. I love how her heroes are "real" men!! Not much sweet-talking and plenty of action.
