I’ve read a single Sandra Brown book and found it to be an okay read, and I was curious about more of the author’s work. When I requested a Sandra Brown book from the library, I’d been hoping for another romantic suspense… yet, they gave me a contemporary romance that doesn’t really have the romantic suspense elements I’d been hoping for.

Although this wasn’t what I had hoped for, I was curious about it and happily gave it a read. My feels towards this one ended up being mixed. A part of me wanted to give this a three-star rating, but, in the end, I had to round it down to a two-star rating. The Devil’s Own had the potential to be interesting, but it failed to live up to what I had expected. Things never went as far as they could have, and I kept hoping for more. I was happy to read it in a single sitting, but there were a lot of things that made me feel uncomfortable – mainly, the male lead had plenty of moments where he was not a romantic lead with his behaviour.

All in all, this one had potential, but it failed to hit the right spots for me.
