Book Review: Sweet Anger

Sweet Anger by Sandra Brown

Sweet Anger is romance tale about tv news reporter Kari Wynne and District Attorney, Hunter McKee.  It starts when Kari's husband Thomas is killed by an out of control delivery truck only to leave his widow Kari alone to deal with a case against her husband, whom she has held up as a hero during their whole marriage.  McKee smears her beloved husbands reputation and shatters Kari's world.  She wants revenge and at every turn she has set out to smear his reputation just like McKee has done to her husband.  But like every romance novel the two find themselves falling for each other.

This story is one of Sandra Brown's earlier novel's that was published in 1985.  The love scenes aren't as racy and discriptive as the romance novels of today but it holds enough conflict to keep a reader interested if romance is their favorite genre.  It is your typical romance novel though but the romance and conflict takes place over the course of a year.  It's a slow build and the characters are written well to make everyone believe the story line.

Sweet Anger is a quick read and what I like to call a "brain duster" so it's not a very heavy book.  I finished this book in about 4 hours so it's a book that you can read at the beach.  I enjoyed the book and it is a good book to read after a really heavy book.
