Apparently I listened to the abridged version of this book. (didn't find out until the end. I can't imagine what the whole book would have been any better. Certainly not something worthy of 500pages. The story was OK, I guessed the "twist" from the beginning. I've read better Sandra Brown books. The one thing I did find annoying about the audio version was that there were no chapter announcements. Maybe that was because it was abridged?
