Exclusive Kindle Edition

Such a great and entertaining book! The plot and the characters were great! Another great book from this author, which I love!

This is possibly the best Sandra Brown book i have ever read. Suspense down to the very last sentence. Definitely recommend!

I don't read books twice - there are too many adventures out there to ride down the same road again. Lately, I've settled for okay stories, written okay. I know certain authors are fabulous in weaving a story, and even then - either you've read everything an author has written, or their books become repetitive; so lately - I've settled for just something to read and have been disappointed.I've read so many books, and desperate for a good story and really good writing - I went back to books I've read. I'll look at the title and all recall is that was really good. I'll finish a 20 something book series and I want more. So this one I read again and it is beyond fabulous. I want more of Gray.I want more of Harry (Harry Bosch series). Emilie Richards wrote about an Irishman's story shoveling ore from the belly of ships in Early America in one of the northern states - it starts and ends with letters of a priest - Patrick, I think. Five People You Meet in Heaven. Rainwater. Look for these books. You won't be disappointed.I always wanted to be a writer or journalist - I knew that would never happen because there are so many more talented people out there spitting out stories much more successfully than I could produce once. Thank you Sandra Brown, and Michael Connelly, and those of you out there who can write a book. A really good book. It's like magic.

1/2 way thru book. Can’t go wrong reading a Sandra Brown book. Good choice ordering from used book sellers!!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book . lots of surprises and interesting changes Interesting characters, good and bad. Looking for another Sandra brown book to read

EXCLUSIVE by Sandra Brown. The story takes place in Washington D.C. and centers at the highest levels of our federal government. Berrie Travis , a gorgeous, warmhearted and at times naïve investigative reporter for a small local TV station receives a call from the first lady. Travis is doing a report on SIDS and the president’s wife who recently lost a 3-month old son to SIDS wants to talk with her. The meeting does not go as Berrie would have liked, but her interests are piqued, something is not right, something is troubling her. From this meeting the plot spirals, sometimes aimlessly through one catastrophe to another involving a sleazy, narcissistic and dishonest president as well as several corrupt members of his White House staff. Brown does a superb job of developing her characters. After a few pages you are thinking right with them and can often guess their next move. The plot often veers off in strange and unrealistic directions; but, hey—this is fiction—and Brown makes the digressions seem almost real for the reader. Brown, being a romance novelist in her early career can’t pass up an opportunity to slip in several obligatory love scenes for good measure. This is not a deep or complicated novel; it is a light, quick and enjoyable read. I recommend the book and rate it a strong 4.

Sandra Brown may be a best-selling author but she ain't much of an author. She's a skilled typist who found the niche called "romance novel" where readers are less critical so long as the princess / heroine does good at the end and winds up in bed (on her terms) with the bad guy who's really a good guy. Our heroine Travis Barrie - oops, make that Barrie Travis - is a minor league TV reporter in DC with a sultry voice (mentioned every dozen pages), a creepy boss (ditto), and a string of on on-air mistakes that almost gets her fired (the future Supreme Court justice didn't really die in the courthouse, as she broadcast, it was just the accidental discharge of a gun elsewhere in the building). Nonetheless she sets out to break a story that proves the President killed the First Lady's baby except maybe it's not his baby on account of his having had a vasectomy a decade ago (a secret that never leaked out in DC - talk about improbable).Good girl Barrie (did I mention her parents died young and she was reared by grandma, or maybe that was the other Sandra Brown book I got for $0.00 on Kindle) goes to Montana or Wyoming, someplace rugged like that, to track down the rugged former presidential aide who we later find out may be the father (so Barrie infers). Goldilocks falls asleep in his empty cabin, he enters the cabin while she's asleep, confronts her at gunpoint, and within five minutes that's not all he has entered. But it's consensual sex and it is very, very good, Barrie decides. (She wonders which "primal ancestor" passed along those primal sex genes. Maybe it was her four years in college?) Very, very good is more than you can say for the writing, given phrases like this: "Barrie's journalistic instinct was sizzling like bacon in a hot skillet" and "The energy of Merritt's presidency must, paradoxically, cause its own extinction." In the end the president is toppled, and aide No. 1's sins of impregnation are washed away when we find it's another bad guy aide (bad all the way to the end, except he conveniently gets killed) is the First Lady's lover, making for an upbeat ending. Just not for every reader.As fiction, "Exclusive" is an improbable story that in all probability made her editors weep, just not over the quality of the writing, but for the fact that Sandra's rich and they're not. As for the reader: On a $1.99 deal, if the book isn't very good, you're only out two bucks. I was out two bucks. Amazon offered "Exclusive" as a daily or monthly Kindle special and Amazon miscategorized "Exclusive" as the novel special when really it should be a romance special. The novel daily specials are usually good writing. The romance daily specials are usually, ah, Cinderella type stories.So why did it get 2 stars not 1 from me? I just re-read a Caleb Carr novel, The Alienist, and that lad knows how to write, but after finishing "Exclusive" I figured somebody who's written 60 published books (Sandra Brown) has to be doing something right.

Never saw the ending coming like this! Great read! I was completely surprised I read the last pages! Never imagined it would end his way!

Extremely readable. For once the characters didn't trip over each other.........unlike Fat Tuesday. I have tries several times to read that book, but you are met with hordes of people in the first two chapters and you lose the plot trying to sort them all out.Hopefully she will continue in this style in Exclusive.

So many twists and turns O didn't know which way to tun, except to keep turning the pages no housework done today only reading this riveting thriller

After waiting 5 weeks for delivery,it was worth waiting for,very good read .worth waiting for

Wish I had discovered this author before, this is an excellent read with gripping story.

Is there no end to this woman's talent yet another brilliant book from Sandra Brown could not put it down. Liked the twist at the end.
