Review of Seeing Red by Sandra Brown

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Kerra Bailey is a television journalist on the rise, and she's hot on the trail of a story guaranteed to skyrocket her career to even greater heights: an interview with the legendary Major Trapper. Twenty-five years ago, The Major emerged a hero from the bombing of the Pegasus Hotel in downtown Dallas when he was photographed leading a handful of survivors out of the collapsing building. The iconic picture transformed him into a beloved national icon, in constant demand for speeches and interviews--until he suddenly dropped out of the public eye, shunning all members of the media. However, Kerra is willing to use any means necessary to get to The Major--even if she has to wrangle an introduction from his estranged son, former ATF agent John Trapper. 

Still seething over his break with both the ATF and his father, John Trapper wants no association with the hotel bombing or his hero father, and spurns the meddling reporters determined to drag them back into the limelight. Yet Kerra's sheer audacity and tantalizing hints that there's more to the story rouse Trapper's interest despite himself. And when her interview of a lifetime goes catastrophically awry--with unknown assailants targeting not only The Major, but also Kerra--Trapper realizes he needs her under wraps if he's going to track down the gunmen before they strike again . . . as well as discover, finally, who was responsible for the Pegasus bombing. 

Kerra is wary of a man so charming one moment and dangerous the next, and she knows Trapper is withholding evidence collected during his ATF investigation into the bombing. But having no one else to trust and enemies lurking closer than they know, Kerra and Trapper join forces and risk their very lives to expose a sinuous network of lies and conspiracy running deep through Texas--and uncover who would want a national hero dead.

My Review:
5 Stars

Sandra Brown never disappoints. This book is full of suspense, intrigue and of course a dash of romance. 

Kerra has one goal, to interview the infamous Major Trapper. However, the Major has become a bit of a recluse. Wanting to stay out of the spot lite, he does not grant interviews of any kind and there are no exceptions. Kerra has one shot, but that involves convincing the Major's estranged son. 

John hasn't had an easy road as of late. Getting let go from the ATF is embarrassing enough, but what's even worse is people assuming the worst because of it. When Kerra starts trying to get to his father through him, John tries to stand tough. The last thing he wants is to see that cranky old bastard. 

When the interview goes completely awry, Kerra and John are thrust together to figure out what is going on and why people want the Major dead.
