5 Stars!!
White Hot was the first Sandra Brown book that I ever read and was the one that started my obsession with her books! To this day it remains one of my favourite books of all time.
Huff is a manipulative tycoon with the town of Destiny Louisiana in his pocket.
Sayre, Huffs estranged daughter, returns to Destiny following the death of her brother Danny. There she must confront her father, her remaining brother Chris, and the new family lawyer Beck Merchant, after there is suspicion to believe her brother was murdered. So begins Sayre’s quest to find the killer while trying to stay clear of her father.
Despite vowing to despise Beck because of her affiliation with her hated family, she finds herself drawn to him. With typical Sandra Brown style, there are many twists and turns and a touch of romance, until the ultimate conclusion – which I never saw coming!
I have read other reviews of this book saying that it is not one of Sandra Brown’s best novels, but I totally disagree. The characters that she has created in this book have moved me more than her others. Huff! What a character! I have never loved to hate a character so much! And the tension between Sayre and Beck is so palpable and fantastically written that every time I read it I get goosebumps!
Sayre’s past comes out gradually throughout the book and in the end you completely understand why she hates Huff so much and her family, and totally understand why she would distance herself from them.
Yes, I admit it does have moments where it moves slightly slowly, but even that cannot have me deducting a star from a book that means so much to me.
I must have read this book at least 20 times and it still gets me every time.
