I do enjoy a good romantic suspense with an engaging mystery and this one fit the bill. Hammond Cross, a prosecutor with the Charleston DA's office finds himself stopping at a county fair en route to his cabin for the weekend. Rescuing a beautiful women from some unwanted male admirers, he spend a few hours with her enjoying the treats of the fair and later running in to her on the way to the cabin, spends the night with her. But in the morning she is gone and he never even got her name. Returni...

Overall rating: 4.5 stars!Triggers:Cheating: (view spoiler)[ No (hide spoiler)]Love triangle: (view spoiler)[ No (hide spoiler)]Sex with om/ow: (view spoiler)[ No. There were TWO scenes where two different women came onto the hero, Hammond Cross, but the hero wasn't even remotely interested either time. All he could think about from the moment he met Alex Ladd was her and that was in the beginning of the story. The first woman was a woman who he worked with. He had a casual relationship with h...

The absolute best Sandra Brown book ever. Hammond Cross is the best hero she has ever penned. The book moves at a fast pace. The ending is excellent! Ah... so tempted to give it 5 stars but only God rates a 5. I have 3 copies of the Alibi for fear something might happen to one and then I'd be without. I keep a copy on my bookshelf, my desk at work, and in my car. That way I am covered. There are very few books I am that anal about but this book along with Sharon Sala's Out of the Dark and Anne S...

3.5 starsReview to come.

One of my favourite Sandra Brown novels.Loved the relationship between Alex and Hammond; and Hammond and Davee.Right from the get go Steffi comes across as harsh. I know she was trying to get ahead in a "man's world" but she seemed to hate every female.The mystery aspect was great. All I know is that it wasn't Alex or Hammond. Everyone one else was up for grabs.Wished there was an epilogue.

After checking the book out by mistake, the plot once again was intriguing but looooooooooooooooooong. The romance was silly.The culprit was well disguised. A good few ideas for mystery authors.

I know I must sound like a broken record right but I truly enjoy all of the Sandra Brown books that I have read so far. Well, there was one that fell a little short for me but all the others have been such fantastic reads for me.The Alibi is one of my top three SB books. This one takes us to Charleston, South Carolina where we meet the sexy Hammond Cross and the stunning Alex Ladd. With each book I have read, there is something a little extra that I end up loving. Whether it is the locat

I really liked "The Alibi". I had my suspicions and wasn't off by much. I just couldn't figure out the motive. I enjoyed the plot and as always there were many characters to enrich the story. All of them were great, from Davee to the alcoholic PI Loretta, to the Detectives and the DAs. The heat between the MC's is OTT and even though they fall for each other in only a few days, their connection from the start and the tibits in their memories from their first night together, are enough to convinc...

SB is always a good listen, entertaining, captivating. She kept me second guessing myself, but I had the killer nailed before it was revealed. That didn’t bother me much as I did question my choice along the way. What did bother me was the insta love. Why do authors feel the need to have characters say the words I love you? Especially well before believability if nothing more because they haven’t established enough on paper for the reader to feel it. Why in the middle of the book when maybe at t...

5 STARSWow!!! It’s been a while since I’ve read a Sandra Brown book…And damn, have I missed them! And l have to say that this is a difficult book to review, as I don’t want to slip up and give anything away. Trust me, with this one… Just go in blind. Don’t read any reviews or even plot descriptions. Just start reading. Hammond CrossJust know that there are some incredibly juicy characters that await you. The writing is fabulous as usual, and the intrigue undeniable. Alex Ladd The dense air wa...

One night of "escaping reality" turns into a long, ominous nightmare for Prosecutor Hammond Cross. A spur of the moment decision turned into a night of passion with a mysterious woman who was gone by dawn's light. Hammond doesn't even know her name. He will before long, and it just may be his downfall.Intriguing characters flaunt their way through The Alibi. At first they didn't seem to have any connection to one another, leaving me wondering where it all was leading. It soon becomes apparent as...

I really enjoyed this book, as I have enjoyed every Sandra Brown book I have read. Out here, he wasn’t a professional, or a colleague. Or a son. Tension, anger and the weight of responsibility began to melt off him. The sense of freedom was heady. It’s more on the suspense and mystery than on the romance but don’t let that put you off. There are still some hot scenes. “Dispensing with the frivolity, he kissed her meaningfully. When at last he pulled away, her troubled expression alarmed hi

Just started reading, but with my vast legal knowledge culled from Law & Order, Columbo, and CSI etc, would an ex-BIL really be allowed to investigate the murder of his ex-BIL? And would a County Prosecutor actually question the widow on their first meeting?DNF.I didn't find any of the characters likable at all.

-3.5- ⭐I listened the audiobook. ☺

Another excellent RS from Sandra Brown!I'm really amazed how she manages to find a really inticate stories, full of tension and suspense!

4.5 Captivating Stars!Fantastic!! I've been in the absolute worst reading funk of my entire career as an adult reader. I swear, if this book would've been another flop, I think I would've been done reading for a good long while. But leave it to the brilliant mind of Sandra Brown to bust me right out of it!!! Amazing, unputdownable read!Wish there would've been even a teeny epilogue. Even tho I know it isn't her style.

This was a decent read for sure, but when I compare it to other books that I've given 4 stars, I just couldn't go that high with this. I guess I may be a bit prude, but sex between people who have just met and don't even know each other's names is kind of a turn off for me. And of course, within a week of barely having any personal contact with each other, there are declarations of undying love. I did like most of the characters, even, oddly, the ones who were a complete mess, which is a big plu...

Not my favorite work by her. I could easily put it down and move on to another book which I did a few times!

I loved this slow building character driven murder mystery by the Queen of romantic suspense, Sandra Brown. In fact for me the motives of each of the characters involved in the murder of shady business man Lute Pettijohn on both sides of the law and the way they intersected were more of a page turner than finding out who actually did the murder. It's become a bit of a goal when reading a Brown to try and tease out her multiple threads and work out "whodunnit" (I didn't in this particular case) b...
