Mean Streak
Dr. Emory Charbonneau is obsessed with being her best and doing her best for her patients and her causes. This drives her to train for her fundraising marathon harder than ever, including a punishing run into the North Carolina mountains. This weekend away from her husband and strained marriage starts off liberating and ends ghastly. When she’s knocked unconscious and left for dead, no one, not even her husband, sends up a smoke signal.
But one witness saw the whole disaster unfold. The recluse who rescues Emory and nurses her back to health won’t divulge his name or the reason for his isolation. Though she regains her strength and vigor, the weather keeps her shut in with her captor or hero, yet to be determined. As the days tick by, memories, details, and emotions emerge that upend everything Emory believed true, and everything she ever wanted.
Although this book is over a decade old, it remains an excellent first, second, and, in my case, a multi-read suspense novel. Another classic suspense from Sandra Brown, packed with plenty of twists and turns, romance and thrills, and an ending you didn’t see coming. These ingredients are what make Brown one of my favorite authors.
Call it formulaic, but it’s not. Trust me. Though there are elements you can always count on in her novels, that’s why you read your favorite authors, because you can trust they will deliver time and again. Mean Streak follows suit with an entertaining, page-turner you’ll read time and again.
