Envy by Sandra Brown
So I believe this was the first book that I had ever read by Sandra Brown. While it does have a romantic undertone, there are so many different elements to this book that could make it part of a different genre. Now Sandra Brown is a New Your Times bestseller author with many of her books making it on the list. She got her start writing harlequin romance under the pen name Erin St. Claire. So many of the books that I have read by her have been reprints from from that pen name. But this isn't one of them.
The book is based around New York publisher Maris Matherly-Reed and author Parker Evans (whom claims to be a new author). The manuscript catches her attention and she travels down to Georgia to meet the author. Parker has worked hard to conceal is identity and past, but Maris is drawn to the manuscript of two young friends and betrayal. Maris's life isn't perfect either. Going through a divorce the chilling novel seems to be connected to her.
This was definitely one of those slow read stories. Even though I read it fast I missed a lot of details so ever time I would be able to pick up on details that I had missed previously. This book was a joy to read, but I do have to warn that there is some vulgar language. Many of the newer books that Brown has written does have some form vulgarity. But I don't think that it is added unnecessary, I think the vulgar aspects fits with the story plot pretty well.
