A good book. Slow at times. I didn’t really care for the two main characters because the side characters were so great! The main baddie had a good twist. I suspected him but wasn’t sure!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The audible was excellent. The Narrator did a great job with all the different characters. Eventhough I read the book a while back, I couldn't really remember the bad guy! LOL.*********************************************************** Four women have disappeared from Cleary over the past two years. And there's always a blue ribbon left near the spot where each of the women was last seen. There are no bodies, no other clues, and no suspicion as to who their abductor might be. And now, an...

5 STARS[image error] "Torrie Lambert vanished as though the ground had opened up and swallowed her. Not a trace of her has been found... except for a blue velvet ribbon." WOW!!!! Loved this one!!! A classic who-done-it psychological thriller with a bit of romance mixed in. This one kept me on the edge of my seat… and the build up had me suspecting EVERYONE. Fabulous writing. [image error] The town was Cleary, located in the remote mountains of North Carolina. And it was about to exper...

This is a book one should read during summer! LOLApart from freezing feelings it transmits, due to a great descriptions, the book is very, very interesting and until the very end you are not sure who the culprit is!The MCs are secluded in a cabin without light, water or heating. Lilly has a ton of suspitions about Tierney being a serial killer. Tierney, on the other hand, hides a lot. So, their co-habitation is full of tension and suspitions. Nothing much happens, all is in the athmosphere!In th...

I had trouble finishing this and when it's about a suspense story, that means a lot. Plus, the romance part was too weak and unsatisfying IMHO.Lilly is somehow stranded in an isolated mountain cabin, along with Ben Tierney, a man she's met some months ago and liked. However, women have been disappearing lately in their quiet town and somehow, the more time she spends with him, the more she becomes convinced he's the culprit. Her ex-husband, the town's chief of police, freaks out when he learns t...

North Carolina woods, painted by Jeremy SamsKayaking on the French Broad River in North Carolina into Tennessee.★★★★½ (This is a review of the audiobook.) Good Gravy Beans! I haven’t read a Sandra Brown book in ages, but this one took hold of me and wouldn’t let go. Stephen Lang does an excellent reading of this romantic suspense. I’ve heard him narrate before, though it’s has been awhile; he still holds up.I have to thank Jill (who knows I love a good snowbound story) for the recommendation of

WOW!! That ending!! Just when I thought I figured it out, BOOM another twist, another suspicious person, another important fact! It all starts with Lilly & Tierney trapped by a record breaking storm, is he a serial killer or her fresh start in a new life? THIS BOOK is THRILLER/ROMANCE at its best!! Loved the setting, the descriptive writing, attention to details and it read just like a movie! Definitely a re-read for me.

Listened to this book on the drive to and from SC at Thanksgiving. It was a way to fill up the long and empty miles, but as a piece of "literachoor" - it was an enormous piece of feculent nonsense.Where to start? How about the part where Lily, the heroine, convinced she is snowed in with a serial kidnapper/murderer, has hot monkey sex with him, despite the whole HE'S A FREAKIN' MURDERER thing.Or how about the fact that the hot, monkey sex happens between a woman who is weak from a nearly-fatal a...

Review written April 25, 20164 1/2 Stars - Thrilling good romantic (snowy) crimeI haven't listened to a Sandra Brown story since August. (Months flies!) Gosh, I have been missing her always so very enjoying romantic crime stories. — This time (my tenth) is it Chill Factor. First published 2005, here the 13:26 hrs audiobook (excellent) narrated by Stephen Lang. ...and I'm breathless.******************************************* «4 women have disappeared from Cleary over the past 2 years. — ......

Nothing has ever made me second guess myself as much as this book did. Sandra Brown is a genius!

Seems I have broken my audio drought, as wholeheartedly the two main characters with very cool names - Lilly and Tierney - survived their blizzard and crazy circumstances. This romantic thriller (what a great combo this is) was good, perhaps a tad drawn out, but good none the less.Awesome narration. Was his voice as sexy as Tierney was built up to be?! Perhaps. But such a good voice to spend some hours with on my work commute. I feel at home with this author, she will deliver. It was too long, b...

Holy crap on a cracker! Ms. Brown can definitely spin a tale. As many books as I have read by her, I am always amazed at her writings. She blew my mind again with this novel. I just knew who the culprit was but I was wrong...over and over again! So many little mysteries inside one big mystery. I loved this book! If you are a true fan of SB, and have never read this one, then grab a copy and enjoy! .

4.5 StarsAnother great novel by Sandra Brown.This book combines two elements that I love: trapped-in-a-blizzard romance and a small town mystery.Love, love cabin romances. There’s something magical about them. On the one hand, they give me that cozy feeling of being indoors cuddled under the duvet while it snows outside. On the other hand, I love the tension and the slow build-up of the romantic relationship in a confined space (without technology, ow/om drama, manwhoring habits and other cl...

4.5 I was so confused stars....Sandra Browns writing never fails to lure me into the story. With equal doses of suspense and mystery she also has the ability to weave in a certain level of sex appeal in way that creates anticipation and when the moments happen…. Let me start by saying this one drove me a little batty. It was fantastic of course but for the first 60% or so my thoughts were spinning in so many different directions that I my little brain was about to explode. Where to begin with...

I have a few Sandra Brown books on my shelves, and I hope to read them all for 2020. The next of her books on my list was Chill Factor. I was ecstatic when I discovered it was also in Kindle Unlimited so I went with reading the e-book version which made things simpler, when I needed to read during my lunchtime at work.Chill Factor proved to be an interesting read. The story takes place in the small town of Cleary, where nothing is secret. Gossip, blackmail and the illegal dispensing of drugs is

Reviewed at: Cross My Heart Writings and ReviewsLike most Sandra Brown books, Chill Factor is high on suspense and rich in details with a setting that plays intricately into the story.  The list of possible “who-done-it” candidates is laden with red herrings and the stakes are high.  Like the road that snakes up the mountainside where Lilly Martin finds herself stranded in a cabin during a blizzard, the plot is twisted with s-turns and roadblocks.  If only she had headed down right behind her ex...

5.11.20Still reading my SB favorites....and enjoying them all over again! 5 Chilling Stars!! Sandra Brown is one of my top "go-to" author's when I'm in the mood for a great mystery suspense that will keep me guessing and on the edge of my seat, and SB manages to add just the right amount of romance to keep the characters connected and the reader enthralled.In the town of Cleary in North Carolina, four women are missing, and presumed dead. The town has a serial killer (The Blue Ribbon Kill

3 StarsOverall Opinion: I liked the mystery (even though I did figure out who it was pretty early on) and I liked the survival scenes. It was like a marooned romance in the sense that they were stuck together, but I guess I just wanted more romance. There was a lot of side stories going on that I could've done without. I figure it was all to keep the intrigue and mystery going though. One of my issues with romantic suspense is that I often feel like between the romance and suspense there is an
