Book Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown comes a gripping story of family ties and forbidden attraction.Crawford Hunt wants his daughter back. Following the death of his wife four years ago, Crawford, a Texas Ranger, fell into a downward spiral that left him relegated to deskwork and with his five-year-old daughter Georgia in the custody of her grandparents. But Crawford has cleaned up his act, met all the court imposed requirements, and now the fate of his family lies with Judge Holly Spencer.

Holly, ambitious and confident, temporarily occupies the bench of her recently deceased mentor. With an election upcoming, she must prove herself worthy of making her judgeship permanent. Every decision is high-stakes. Despite Crawford's obvious love for his child and his commitment to being an ideal parent, Holly is wary of his checkered past. Her opinion of him is radically changed when a masked gunman barges into the courtroom during the custody hearing. Crawford reacts instinctually, saving Holly from a bullet.

But his heroism soon takes on the taint of recklessness. The cloud over him grows even darker after he uncovers a horrifying truth about the courtroom gunman and realizes that the unknown person behind the shooting remains at large . . .and a threat.

Catching the real culprit becomes a personal fight for Crawford. But pursuing the killer in his customary diehard fashion will jeopardize his chances of gaining custody of his daughter, and further compromise Judge Holly Spencer, who needs protection not only from an assassin, but from Crawford himself and the forbidden attraction between them.

My Review

You know how you have favorite authors whose books do not disappoint...Sandra Brown has become one of those authors for me. Friction is a compelling read that will keep you glued to the pages.

Judge Holly and Texas Ranger Crawford have immediate chemistry in Friction. He is reckless and she is by the book but together the passion is sizzling. Crawford had allowed his in-laws to raise his daughter Georgia after his wife passed away. Now he is ready to get her back. He is a driven man. Holly is the judge at the custody hearing...then a masked gunman busts into the courtroom and starts shooting. Will hero Crawford's recklessness doom him to a life without his daughter? Who were the bullets for? Crawford or Holly?

Great, fast moving tale that I really enjoyed reading. The suspense moves the plot along and the reader is taken on quite the ride. Be sure to read this Number 1 Bestseller!
