I am generally a sandra brown fan . I have read 4 of her other books and thought each of those was very goods . this book was not even in the same ball park as her other books [Envy, Deadline, Rainwater, Breath of scandal] . The review for sunset embrace were so excellent that I kept reading and reading . certain that it was going to get better. I found the lead characters to have absolutely no depth to them .Ross really does not display love for Lydia. he just lusts after her body in between jealous ranges. the book would be 25% shorter if the author had not detailed every sexual act between the characters . I would have preferred a lot more story and a lot less sex . and it certainly would have helped to have a touch of charisma in the main character, I am so confused as to why so many readers loved this book
