Nobody, outside of Tennessee Willliams, does the evil "Big Daddy" better than Sandra Brown. If you like Southern fiction you will love WHITE HOT.

I was unable to put this book down. I may not have enjoyed it as much as I did ENVY, but still, I thought the characters were strong, the plot was great, and the prose went very well. I would highly recommend this book to suspense readers. Oddly enough, there was a bit of romance, but SB did a wonderful job in this area too. She's one of my favorites lately. I'll be looking forward to her next one.

For an author that wrote Envy, The Alibi and Witness, I am surprised when I pick up one of her books and it's sooooo dull. Like White Hot. I had a hard time finishing all 579 pages and think the whole of the story could have been summed up in maybe 300 instead. I wasn't impressed with any of the characters, the dialogue got to be monotonous and I think the editor failed when he/she didn't chop about 2/3 of it. The surprising twist wasn't surprising because had Beck honestly represented what it appeared he did until the last 5 pages, Sayre and him wouldn't have ended up together and we knew that was a sure thing before I began reading it. Sorry, this one was a flop.

I read envy a couple years ago, after my best friend said it was good. I loved it. I liked it so much I even bought her next book in hardcover. The Crush. That book was just ok. So when i saw this one, i remembered how much I liked Envy. Figured The Crush might have just been a fluke. This book was pretty boring. It went on and on and on, and it was too long. Some of it was interesting, and the end was good. But the middle of the book was pretty much pointless. I enjoyed her characters, just thought it could have been shortened by a lot. I just bought one more Sandra Brown book and if she doesn't pick up with another good one, she goes on my list of one hit wonders.

This was my first and last Sandra Brown book. What a complete waste of time! I had trouble finishing the book but managed to get through it out of pure frustration. There was nothing "suspenseful" and only bad romance writing.

Sandra Brown is one of my "go to" authors for a beach or airplane read. Until White Hot all of her books were reliable page turners in interesting settings.This is the first book of hers where every character was despicable except a former high school quarterback who is in a minor role. The heroine's actions were not credible given her description. The revelation regarding another main character came too late to be satisfying unless one read the entire book again to see where things might have been interpreted differently. Who has time for that?!If you like Sandra Brown skip this one.
