So, if you didn’t know before, you do now—I’m a Sandra Brown fangirl. Funnily enough, that lands me in somewhat of a predicament. What can I say about her work that I haven't already?♦ Perfect mix of suspense and romance? Nope. Said it. → Mean Streak♦ Spot on with the dialogue? Mentioned that one, too. → Lethal♦ Her writing gets me every time? Sure does. → Friction♦ Queen of epic plot twists? Yup. Oh how I love getting duped. → Sting♦ Tension and an underlying sexiness? Don’t I know it. → Seeing...

I honestly didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did. It started off slow but around the 30% mark, in true SB form she throws in a twist in and I was hooked.I really enjoyed the two main characters, Denton Carter and Bellamy Lyston Price. But in the best of SB books she always surrounds them with a cast of secondary characters that are fantastic and in this one I think they are what kept me so engaged. There is Gall Hathaway which is the only one that Denton considered family. He provided

Audio of book with Stephen Lang once again. His rendition of the heroine was a little bland and flat, but the heroine was bland and flat so perhaps that was his direction. Another well done job on narration.The narration and some of the plot surrounding the evil-doer of a decades crime eventually being exposed amongst some contrived shenanigans that makes this doable. 3 star suspense with 2 star characters. None very likable.

4 STARSAnother great novel by SB. It's more suspense than romance but I didn't mind because the plot was gripping. Both the hero and the heroine are likable characters. Not my favorite but still worth reading.

Bellamy Lyston Price's sister Susan was murdered at their father's company picnic in Austin, Texas 18 years ago.A teenage boy, Allan Strickland, was convicted of the murder.However Bellamy is still haunted by unanswered questions and writes a novel to expunge the incident from her mind. When the best-selling book is revealed to be based on a true story many people with something to hide - including police, the prosecutor, relatives, witnesses, etc. - get antsy about the renewed publicity and Bel...

It's been awhile since I struggled to finish a book as much as this one. After reading the sensational book Lethal, I had high hopes and expectations for this one. Unfortunately, this one fell way short.The chemistry that was so scorching and believable in Lethal was missing in this book. I love romantic suspense novels, and I would concede that it is difficult to find a book that can balance both the romance and the suspense plots equally. Low Pressure tells the story of a woman who is trying t...

Maybe it wasn't the right time for me to read this book, because I didn't enjoy it. I wonder if my rating is valid as I only read the first 200 pages. Nevertheless what I read was boring, predictable and unoriginal. Mostly I didn't enjoy the characters, especially the lead female, a self-righteous, colorless, rich girl that didn't think about the consequences of her actions (= writing a book about her family secrets without giving the heads-up to all involved). I so didn't like Bellamy from the

Bellamy Price has written a best-selling novel under an assumed name. The novel, is a fictionalised account of her family's tragic true story. Eighteen years ago her sixteen year-old sister was murdered, strangled to death at a Memorial Day barbecue hosted by her wealthy parents. A tornado ripped through the celebrations soon after, scattering any evidence to the four winds. When her real name is exposed and the truth behind the fiction revealed, Bellamy starts receiving threats. The novel for B...

I started this book twice and gave up. I even posted gifs stating that I was bored. So I put it aside. The I saw this review ...Sharon's wonderful reviewI thought to myself, "Mmmm, now Sharon and myself like a lot of the same books. We LOVE most of the SB books we have read, so what was I missing here?" Decided to give it another shot. I mean, a bad SB book for me is a GOOD book. I started again from the beginning 'cos, as you know, at my age, the memory isn't the greatest. I swear I thought I w...

I am a fan of Sandra Brown and have read most of her releases throughout the years. I find that most of her books can be classified as ‘easy reading’ in that they do not require a great deal of emotional investment and you can generally get through them in one day. ”Low Pressure” is no exception.I, personally, prefer books that involve me a bit more. I like to have to work at guessing who the killer is and, hopefully, the ‘why’ as well. I like to identify with the heroine and I like to find the

Good twist at the end but I didn’t care for the heroine and how the bad guy - who was supposedly really dumb - was running amok, hurting people without the police catching him.My first issue with Bellamy, the heroine, is that she writes a book about the murder of her sister at a time when her father is dying of cancer. WTH? Her excuse is that she wrote it under an pseudonym but who wouldn't figure out who the murder was about when it was so salacious? Pretty soon, she's discovered and all the up...

Eighteen years ago, Bellamy Price's 16 year old sister, Susan, was murdered at their family's Memorial Day barbecue. Minutes later a tornado tore through the grounds destroying all of the evidence needed to solve the crime. However, an arrest was made, the accused was found guilty and sent to prison.Eighteen years later, with too many unanswered questions, Bellamy Lyston Price writes a novel based on Susan's murder. Written as fiction and using a pseudonym, a seedy reporter quickly discovers tha...

4.25 Surprising Stars!I ended up liking this more than I thought. It was thrilling and the story was laid out in layers and and the reveals are done slowly and by all the different characters.This was a very well written thrilling story that I thought I had figured out but the last couple of chapters twisted and turned and my assumptions were dead wrong. I wasn't even close. And though this one tragedy affected the lives of so many, it ends with a bit of romance and a conclusion that's hopeful.

The main plot line of the book is interesting, but the "romance" is extremely disturbing, as repeatedly the author -- a woman -- seems to be communicating that when a woman says "no" to sex, she does not really mean no. However unintentional this may have been, this message is not one that we need to perpetuate in our society.

This was more like it. I love it when SB gets in right for me. Tight, sexy romantic suspense.

Bellamy and Dent3.5 starsTight suspense plot and so-so romance. A lot of players but done very well.Full review on Fiction Vixen Book Reviews Sandra Brown is known for her strong romantic suspense novels. I have always been a fan. Low Pressure is the title of a book written by our main protagonist Bellamy Lyston Price and also happens to be the title of this book. As with most other Sandra Brown books there are many players. We have our main couple of Dent and Bellamy, Bellamy’s family which in...

Picked this up at the airport, desperate to read something. It was a perfect read for that purpose, much the same way trashy magazines are. I had hoped from the cover blurb for a bit more to it though. I figured out who the killer was three chapters in. Had not figured out the motive until half way through, but was close enough it didn't matter. The red herrings are explained almost as quickly as they are introduced. I was a little appalled at the heroine's behavior, with regard to dying relativ...

3.5 Stars - You can always count on Sandra Brown for good Romance/Suspense. I'm such a fan of her writing and twisted plot lines with last minute shockers. While I enjoyed Low Pressure, it fell a little short compared to some of her other books. I think what it was lacking for me was the page turning intensity I associate with most Brown books - in both the plot and the character chemistry. I never completely connected to these characters nor felt the heart racing pace of other books. Having sai...

I received this book through Goodreads First Reads.This is more of a 2 1/2 star rating with it being rounded up to three because I did enjoy the twist at the end. I think I guessed every other person the real murder ended up being aside from the person it actually was. To me, it didn't seem as obvious but that was the one thing I liked about this book, that it kept you guessing until the end. Aside from that, there wasn't much else I actually liked about it. What killed it for me was Bellamy and...

Even with a predictable plot, Brown wrote a tight-knit story without exaggerated twists. Unfortunately, an absence of chemistry between MCs did make them a rather dull, uninteresting couple:/
