Book Description

9 Mar 2006
While serving as a juror on a high-profile murder trial, Dr Rennie Newton finds herself defending the rights of the accused, a psychopath named Lozada, and consequently he is acquitted. Within days it becomes apparent that Rennie has attracted unwanted romantic attention - she arrives home one afternoon to find five dozen red roses waiting for her - but in a more sinister twist, her colleague and co-candidate for promotion at the hospital is found dead in his car, a murder that bears Lozada's hallmark.



Is Rennie the object of Lozada's unrelenting obsession? Or does her seemingly bland past conceal a murderous heart of its own?



The stakes are raised still further when Rennie comes under investigation by Wick Threadgill, an embittered cop with vengeance on his mind and a point to prove . . .



International bestselling author Sandra Brown has crafted a stunning and explosive thriller that will undoubtedly take her fan base to new heights.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Crush 12 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
I have only read two of Sandra Brown's novels, 'THE CRUSH' and 'ENVY' but already I would say that she is one of the few authors whose novels I would rush to buy as soon as it came out. Brown combines romance and suspense in a way that very few authors before her have been able to.
In 'THE CRUSH' Dr. Rennie Newton has just come off a lengthy trial in which hired hit man "Ricky Roy" Lozada was acquitted for the murder of a wealthy businessman. Lozada, who had not hidden his fixation on Rennie throughout his trial, would now like to show her his appreciation for having been forewoman on the jury and the main advocate for his acquittal, . So when one of Dr. Newton's colleagues, who had just won the position of chief of surgery, a position that Rennie had also been up for, turns up dead, Detective Oren Wesley automatically suspects that Rennie hired Lozada to take out the competition.

Once Detective Wesley's suspicions of Lozada's involvement in the murder are pretty much confirmed he enlists the help of former partner and long time friend Wick Threadgill. Threadgill, who has taken an extended leave of absence from the police force, is enticed back into the line of duty having his own personal score to settle with Lozada. However, Wick is not prepared for the strong attraction he feels toward the reticent Rennie Newton, who's damaged past causes her to hold her privacy to the utmost and has allowed no one to get close to her in twenty years.

'THE CRUSH' is a very fast paced story with a good mix of suspense and romance without being overly maudlin. I would highly recommend 'THE CRUSH' to anyone who likes reading a good suspense novel. 4 ½ stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must read!!!! 7 Aug 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This was the first Sandra Brown novel I have ever read and I could not put it down!! I am now a dedicated fan! It provided the perfect mix of thrill and romance and had my heart racing in many places! After reading this book and discovering that Sandra Brown's territory is typically romance novels, I can only commend her on her excellent skill of crime writing. She writes very convincingly through the eyes of psychopath killer Lozada. The romantic element of the novel was, in a word, breathtaking! I love how she portrays Wick's desperate desire for Rennie and she writes the love scenes between them beautifully. It left my heart melting and wishing I had a lover like him!
