This wasn't one of my favorite books by Sandra Brown. I think some of her other books are much better. I figured this one out halfway through and wasn't surprised by the ending.

Last call adrenaline junkies! Here ya go this one for you!
I wouldnt be surprised that any average Joe would be well entertained with this book. Furthermore, the flow of the storyline has a feel of unisex appeal .
Better yet in fact, I think this story was design to be shared, as a gift that would be appealing & enjoyed with a significant other.

Unspeakable is by far most satisfying, terrifying, & suspenseful chock-filled with love & hopeful happy endings. This Read will thoroughly appease some appetites. This books brilliance reads for me, in some what, present modern time or past setting. While listening to this Read I was taken up carried rapturous away by some superb writing. My interaction with this Read felt like virtue Reality. Believe you me when I say it reminds me of my visit to Disneyland I took part in at Epcot center Honey I Blew Up The Audience journey was interesting, fun entertaining with turns twists & ooh goodness whats gonna happen next. suspense?!! OOH boythen I had some yippee..& there were some...wild n dark times.

Im scared out of my mind when out of the screen popped a lions head, with a ear death roar that then instantly turns into a cobra snake literally snapped at me. It was real life in your face(3 D mine you!) I also was so amazed ,happbeeeee giddy with excitement elations.awwww ya gotta love em..(the father:O) Then the father put a white mice in the duplicating machine that in turn follows with the most over abundance flow upon dozens of mice that spewed out . The mice proceed to scurry fast forward crazy wild off the screen & ran all out all over my feet..Eeeeeek..that giddiness was short lived by terrifying screams & suspenseful( finding the door fast) a mad dash to the nearest exit. I was such a Winnee.((giggle))!

Gee wiz I, Betcha by gollee wow, Ms. Brown writing brings out that similar wild kind of excitement & terror soooo miraciously..from ya. This experience definitely is mind blowing .A sensual flow that extremely takes over your mind also its what feeds your senses, the see, feel, touch & hear. Of it all. Its suspenseful then becomes intensely eerie-like dark .

Now thats modern classic now a days fashion. A lot of people live for. To be able to grace fans one & all alike with, is great! By popular demand theres an endless need for that kind of writing. The villains were such icky creepy crawly slugs U loved to hate with a passion. It was good to know that evil shall Never prevail over good. live by the sword die by the sword!

I never lost sight of the hero & heroine in all the craziness that went on within the story the budding love that took root, ground& gradually grew but eventually then came to full bloom. While listening casting my observation to the wind I viewed Jack Sawyer /Ann Corbets love. Its what kept me interested & glued to the story. My kind of theme I like .A hero that is consider a nobody too many but is much more. A hero that only needs a second chance at life & loves healing touch. These R some of the many themes I love to read soooo much. Secondly, I find it refreshing reading about Heroines that arent perfect as apposed to this heroine .

She was handicap she had a cute kid. It was a big plus that she is a independent woman. I wont say anything else about Unspeakable other than that its like finding a diamond in the rough.. Lastly, whats more pleasant than stealing away into a secret hideaway, a virtue Reality of sorts whether at home, in your car or on the bus.

Unspeakable either on Audio or paper book its indulgement until your hearts content, prepare yourself for love, passion also non-stop fast pace action.

I have become a fan of Sandra Brown's over the past 2 years and usually enjoy most of her work, however, this one was a little bit of a let down....she's written much better work than this

When Drifter Jack Sawyer shows up at a Texas ranch looking for work, Delray Corbett is a little wary of him. He doesn't know Jack, but Delray needs a hired hand to help out around the ranch. He would also like to have an extra person on board since hearing is step-son, Carl Herbold, has escaped a prison where he was serving a life sentence for murder. Delray doesn't want Carl hurting his daughter-in-law, Anna, or his Grandson, David. Anna is attracted to Jack as soon as she meets him. Being deaf since birth, Anna is used to being treated differently. But Jack treats her like a normal person, even trying to learn sign language to help communicate with her.

I found this book very interesting but it may not be for everyone. There are several very violent scenes involving Carl Herbold. I know some people were turned off by this, but it really just showed me this character had absolutely no redeeming qualities. There is a sub-plot involving retired Sheriff Ezzy Hardge who is investigating a 20-year-old unsolved murder that he can't forget. My favorite portions of the book were Anna and Jack's relationship, and also his relationship with her son, David. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
