    <body><![CDATA[I think I would actually give this book about 2.5 stars.  There is nothing particularly wrong with it... it's just not outstanding or even pretty good.  It's solidly OK.  It really is a &quot;typical&quot; Sandra Brown.  I am beginning to think that if you've read one Sandra Brown you've read them a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64794376">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another good one by Brown.  She really knows how to add some good twists and turns and I love them.  We have a reporter waking up next to a dead cop, a kidnapping that leads both the kidnapper and the hostage running for their lives and finding they need each other for more than just clearing their ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71660419">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I guess the author is a prolific and popular mystery writer, but this book just didn't do it for me.  The plot involved two innocent people working together to prove their innocence on the trumped up charges against them.

    <body><![CDATA[I have been a fan of Sandra Brown’s for a long time. I have read almost every book she has written since 1990 and I always look forward to reading her books. <br/><br/>Smoke Screen was full of suspense, there was a lot going on, however – in my opinion – it was not one of Brown’s better bo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39044538">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sandra Brown does mystery well and this book is no exception.  I liked the book and found the story interesting, I could have done without the relationship between the leading characters, Britt Shelley and Raley Gannon.  This seemed gratuitous and ultimately unnecessary in my mind, the only &quot;pr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68061938">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a well crafted story that moves fast. My only complaint is the narrator. Slezak has a good voice and does the secondary characters well. However the H/h both sound just alike. Several times it was hard to know which character was speaking. Dick Hill narrates other books by Brown and does suc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73454330">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd only read one of Sandra Brown's books and didn't really care for it since I'm not into romance novels typically. But after hearing her speak at the Carmel library authors' luncheon last fall, I decided to give one a try. The book was OK, but if you ever get a chance to hear Sandra Brown speak, d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68029732">more...</a>]]></body>
