Outfox

As always it was a great read. Fast paced book. Good mix of romance and suspense. Thanks for another one.

If you’ve read the book blurb, I’m betting you’re already convinced to add this one to your TBR list. You won’t be disappointed!Anytime there’s a new release from Sandra Brown, there’s cause for celebration. She is one of the best romantic suspense writers on the scene and for years has been one of my favorite writers. Each new novel refines her talent and quickly becomes one to be remembered. This is the case with “Outfox.”In a slow-on-the-get-go twisted mind-game between a clever and ruthless old fox, who has killed too many hens and evaded capture for twenty years, and a determined hound dog with a nose for sniffing out trouble (and one who isn’t cryin’ all the time), Brown delivers a wild foxhunt. One in which Drex Easton has a personal stake. Well-plotted with plenty of unexpected surprises to keep you thrown off the chase. It’s not long before the pace picks up and doesn’t stop until it carries readers over the finish line with a flag-waving cheer.Sandra Brown aces the delivery of another intense and sensual forbidden romance pulsing with energy. There’s almost always an unforgettable happily-ever-after from her, but sometimes she makes her readers work extra hard for it.Amid the murder and mayhem, and against his better judgment, Drex is attracted, captivated and drawn to Talia Shafer, a married woman – whose husband, Jasper Ford, is Drex’s numero uno suspect. Could it be possible that Talia may even be an accomplice in Jasper’s murderous romance scams to defraud women of their fortunes? Ambiguities fill the pages enriching the story and forcing readers to constantly seek the truth. A little ambiguity keeps you on your toes and exercises the old brain a bit. I kind of enjoyed having Sandra Brown mess with my head.With a PhD in criminal psychology, an FBI badge in his pocket and his weapon always at-the-ready, Drex Easton goes with what gets the job done. Telling lies is as easy as breathing for him, along with some window-peeping, too. Yeah, he may be a bit of a bad boy, too. He’s definitely not a strictly-by-the-book kind of guy. You may not like him at first, but give it a little time and trust SB to convince you that he’s earned his spot on the infamous list of her past heroes.Once you begin, you're barely going to blink until you've reached the end and find that Sandra Brown has saved the best for last. With a high level of intrigue and an unexpected stunning “gotcha,” she may have "outfoxed" us all.Don’t miss out on one of the most highly anticipated romantic suspense releases of the summer. "Outfox" is an intensely gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end -- my favorite kind.An absolute must-read!

Fast read, with many evil twists and turns. Scary. I recommend this book if you can stand the suspense. Brace yourself

Excellent.

WOW! Sandra Brown has once again delivered an exceptional book in Outfox. Outfox is the story of Drex Easton and Talia Shafer. Drex Easton is an FBI agent in search of Weston Graham, who he believes killed his mother. Talia Shafer is the wife of Jasper Ford, the name of the man that Drex believes was once Weston Graham. Talia is wealthy and has no immediate family. This fits the profile that Drex believes Weston/Jasper uses in choosing his victims. Wealthy women who disappear and within days of their disappearance, their money vanishes. Drex moves into the garage apartment of the next door neighbor posing as a writer. Drex is smitten with Talia when he first meets her. Initially, Drex is uncertain whether Talia is a potential victim or willing participant. The book is so action packed and kept me on the edge of my seat wondering how they were going to capture Jasper and how many more victims would he kill. I love the incredible characters and the locations. Love the surprise plot twists, especially the ones near the end of the book, that Sandra Brown always delivers. It was truly an amazing story and Sandra Brown is a phenomenal story teller. It was truly a page turner. Love, Love, Love the book!

Sandra Brown is a wonderful author! She combines suspense with love and always keeps you on the edge of your chair !

I've been reading Sandra Brown from the very beginning. In fact, I think I have every single book that she's ever written now, and have enjoyed every single one. Her writing has evolved and varied over the years, and I believe some of the bad reviews are because people anticipate instead of read.This is one book that you CANNOT anticipate because it isn't boiler-plate. If you want boiler-plate, mirror-images of previous books, I can name some authors who do that. Ms. Brown isn't one of them.I don't like the price of her books, but that isn't a good enough reason for a bad review. The author doesn't set the price. Yes, there were typos, which was the reason for my 4 stars. Otherwise, Drex and Talia's story drew me in because they were not the cookie cutter characters that a lot of readers seem to expect. They were interesting, they had some depth, but I would have loved more (another reason for 4 stars). The plot was interesting and had the normal twist at the end that we have come to expect. I will tell you that I had the button figured out as soon as it was mentioned, but that isn't the fault of Ms. Brown.Best line? "The writing thing wasn't working out." Made me chuckle out loud. That doesn't happen often when I'm reading on my Kindle. And I loved the twists with Drex and his "profession".This book would have had to have been horrible (and boiler-plate like Roberts) for me to hate it. It would have had to have had flat characters with no history and nothing pushing them forward. But much to my liking, it kept my attention from beginning to end. In fact, so much so that I read two of Ms. Brown's books over two days. Just because they were new to me and I had to know - she's still got it.
