Newscaster & fire investigator find themselves banded together to save both their lives and reputations. Good read.

Good suspenseful book. ( )

Picking up a novel by Sandra Brown is a guarantee that the next reading hours with be filled with suspense, intrigue, and romance. The copyright is 2008 but as with many of the author's novels there is a timeless quality to the storyline as the corruption, betrayal, and deception could just as easily be ripped from today's headlines. The addition of the character Delno elevates interest to Raley Gannon's survival during his five years living in a cabin in the woods.

Once again I missed the twist that brought an even more suspenseful ending than anticipated! ( )

Britt Shelly, a news reporter, wakes up in bed with a guy from her past. It doesn't take her long to discover he's dead. She has no memory of the previous night and insists to the police that she must've been drugged. She's free to go, but is a person of interest once it is determined that he was murdered. She's not arrested, however, because she is kidnapped during the middle of the night by Raley Gannon. Something similar -- too similar -- happened to him five years ago. The murder at that time was of a dead young woman Raley woke up in bed with. He was cleared of charges, but he was Britt's first real break at reporting, and in effect, ruined his life. What happens now is a roller coaster of events while both Raley and Britt strive for the truth behind their two situations. Smoke Screen is a good, compelling read by Brown. Answers are revealed, and they are shocking. The Lifetime movie based on Smoke Screen did justice for the book. ( )
