I liked the setting of this book。 It still had the trademark twists and turns that the author is known for but the time period lent itself well to a story。 I appreciated the timeline of this book。 Normally the author packs everything into a matter of days but the events in this book built to such a boiling point。 There wasn't a big gotcha moment at the end because it was pretty obvious who had done what but it was an engrossing story throughout。 I liked the setting of this book。 It still had the trademark twists and turns that the author is known for but the time period lent itself well to a story。 I appreciated the timeline of this book。 Normally the author packs everything into a matter of days but the events in this book built to such a boiling point。 There wasn't a big gotcha moment at the end because it was pretty obvious who had done what but it was an engrossing story throughout。 。。。more

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley- thank you！ I love Sandra Brown's books and am always eager to read one。 This one felt different than her other reads with the main focus being bootlegging in the 1920s。 The romance felt like it took a backseat compared to other novels。 That said， it was interesting， and some things at the end really surprised。 It's not quite five stars for me because it did feel long at times。 I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley- thank you！ I love Sandra Brown's books and am always eager to read one。 This one felt different than her other reads with the main focus being bootlegging in the 1920s。 The romance felt like it took a backseat compared to other novels。 That said， it was interesting， and some things at the end really surprised。 It's not quite five stars for me because it did feel long at times。 。。。more

As a long-time fan of Sandra Brown， I was eager to read this。 It did not disappoint。 It was a rollicking romp through the days of prohibition with a WWI soldier accused of a murder he didn’t commit。 And a highly charged relationship with a straight-laced strong woman in Foley， TX。 It was delightfully addictive 5-star read。

I enjoyed reading this book。 It had a good story to it。 I liked the variety of characters in it。 It was a well written book。 It too me longer than normal to read because some of the chapters were long。

I am a fan of this author but not really a fan of historical fiction。 Until I read this book。 I loved the characters， the setting， the time period and the ending。 This book was a game-changer for me。 I really liked it。

Book 75 of 2021When I think of the most consistent authors out there， @SandraBrown is at the top of the list。 I am always drawn into her rich storyline and multi-layer characters。 I love the unexpected romance， the action， the drama。 It's all SO GOOD。 But then， I saw the synopsis for this book， and I was worried。 So many authors are branching out to try new things， and these experiments have not been panning out well for the readers。 Brown has never written historical fiction， and because it's a Book 75 of 2021When I think of the most consistent authors out there， @SandraBrown is at the top of the list。 I am always drawn into her rich storyline and multi-layer characters。 I love the unexpected romance， the action， the drama。 It's all SO GOOD。 But then， I saw the synopsis for this book， and I was worried。 So many authors are branching out to try new things， and these experiments have not been panning out well for the readers。 Brown has never written historical fiction， and because it's a tricky genre （it can be really good or really bad）， I was obviously concerned。 But why would I be？ How silly of me。 @SandraBrown knocked it out of the part。 As a friend of mine said， the focus for Brown is always on the characters-- she writes the storylines of fascinating people， and the rest is just a backdrop that enhances the overall plot。 This was no different。 The 1920's twist gave the story a lot of context -- prohibition， the gun-slingers and those who break the law。 There was so much thought put into the details of this time -- men coming back from war， how people of the town interact with each other， medical conditions， etc。 I kept thinking of my love for Dr。 Quinn throughout this book， even though the time period was different。 There were plenty of surprises to be sure， but the pacing of this book was different than other Brown books。 But that was because of the time period and how the pieces of the story came together。 It was more unique than it was a hinderance， so I was okay with it。 Overall， I think that Brown nailed the execution of this time period， these people and a storyline that I loved hearing about。 I can see this being made into a movie， easily-- and I would love it！Rating -- five starsFormat -- audiobook （my only critique would be that this was not my favorite audiobook narrator， so part of me wants to take away a half a point， but I eventually got used to this male voice; I wanted a female narrator for Laurel， more than I wanted a male narrator for Thatcher） 。。。more

I’m a fan of Sandra Brown and love her books。 This one has a historical twist， which was an added bonus。 I loved the cast of characters and the whole backdrop of the prohibition。 Brown always does a slow burn romance in there too and you got to love cowboy Thatcher in this particular one。 Hope Brown makes a sequel with that bang of an ending！

I was excited to get my hands on this historical fiction by this talented author。 The Prohibition era was a book that appealed to me because this time period is not often written about。 Although it was well researched， it seemed to move along slowly and was too long。 It would probably make a great movie or mini-series。 Sorry to say I abandoned it at 60% #BlindTiger #NetGalley

Sandra Brown is my favorite author and I have read every book she has ever written。 Usually I’m captivated and sucked in within a chapter or two。 This book took me a lot longer to get hooked。 But I’m glad I was patient。 Loved it and especially Thatcher！

"Blind Tiger" is a story about Prohibition， bootlegging， corruption， and romance and murder。 It takes place in 1920 when a stranger arrives in the town of Foley。 Sandra Brown has woven history， suspense， and romance all in one novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it。The time period and the story are fascinating。 You will reach a point where it is almost impossible to put down。 I would highly recommend this book。Thank you to #GrabAGalley， @sandrabrownauther， and @GrandCentralPub for this terrific book。 "Blind Tiger" is a story about Prohibition， bootlegging， corruption， and romance and murder。 It takes place in 1920 when a stranger arrives in the town of Foley。 Sandra Brown has woven history， suspense， and romance all in one novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it。The time period and the story are fascinating。 You will reach a point where it is almost impossible to put down。 I would highly recommend this book。Thank you to #GrabAGalley， @sandrabrownauther， and @GrandCentralPub for this terrific book。#BlindTiger 。。。more

I really loved the characters in this book especially Thatcher and the Sheriff。 When I first started reading it I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy a book from the prohibition era but the way the story unfolded and the characters were developed it became more enjoyable as I moved on。 It was an original idea with believable characters。 I have read a lot of Sandra Brown books and I would put this one in the top five。 I really loved the characters in this book especially Thatcher and the Sheriff。 When I first started reading it I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy a book from the prohibition era but the way the story unfolded and the characters were developed it became more enjoyable as I moved on。 It was an original idea with believable characters。 I have read a lot of Sandra Brown books and I would put this one in the top five。 。。。more

Spoiler-free review。Sandra Brown’s latest release is a historical fiction that starts with a bang and ends with an explosion。 The novel will send you back in time， make your pulse race， break your heart， turn around and mend it， and showcase the resilience of the human spirit。 It might bring you a few laughs scattered throughout the pages as well。 It’s always a rare and special treat when Sandra Brown turns the timeclock back to earlier days by giving readers a fascinating story with historical Spoiler-free review。Sandra Brown’s latest release is a historical fiction that starts with a bang and ends with an explosion。 The novel will send you back in time， make your pulse race， break your heart， turn around and mend it， and showcase the resilience of the human spirit。 It might bring you a few laughs scattered throughout the pages as well。 It’s always a rare and special treat when Sandra Brown turns the timeclock back to earlier days by giving readers a fascinating story with historical roots to sink your teeth into。 Rainwater， another wonderful timepiece from Brown in 2009， slipped back into my mind as I began reading this latest。 As was the case with it， the masterful storyteller once again sidesteps her usual contemporary novels with a genre-switch to historical suspense upholding her success in navigating the switch perfectly。 And don’t worry – there’s romance， too！ It wouldn’t be a Sandra Brown novel without some huggin’ and kissin’ all rolled into a tension-filled and scorching romance。 The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution， ratified in January 1919 and enacted in January 1920， outlawed the “manufacture， sale， or transportation of intoxicating liquors。” Prohibition is now the law of the land， but not everyone is happy with the change – and conflicts and lawlessness become the modus operandi deep in the heart of Texas。 With the end of World War I， Thatcher Hutton is now making his way homeward to the ranch where he grew up。 But， before the train reaches its destination， he finds himself stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time in the little town of Foley， Texas at the beginning of Prohibition in 1920。 As readers have come to expect， Brown pens another strong rugged and silent type of sexy as heck hero with a quick wit and respected for his honesty and integrity。 Laurel Plummer， a recent widow with a new baby， might appear demure and just another pretty face – but watch out because this gal's got plenty of fire in her belly。 Don’t forget that dynamite comes in small packages。 Both Laurel and Thatcher are kick-ass characters。 Sparks fly between these two when they first meet suddenly and unexpectedly。 Certain events lead them in different directions， and through no fault of their own， they end up on opposite sides of the law。 But true love always finds a way – even during the wildest and most dangerous times。Step back in time with another terrific novel from Sandra Brown that you won’t be able to put down。 Blind Tiger is 512-pages of suspense， excitement， danger， romance and a real humdinger chock-full of historical details， murder and mayhem， lowdown mean and dirty scoundrels， bootleggers and moonshiners， crooked double-crossing politicians and lawmen， along with an evil and horrid madam that runs the local speakeasy， who had me shaking in my slippers。 A fascinating story of days gone by and sure to be another chartbuster for Brown。 Hip-Hip-Hooray for another prize-winning release from Sandra Brown， who continues to remain at the top of her game！ 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book from Sandra Brown。 I loved that the setting was outside her normal current timeline and set in the 1920's。 I even learned some new things about prohibition and bootlegging which I loved。 I really enjoyed this book from Sandra Brown。 I loved that the setting was outside her normal current timeline and set in the 1920's。 I even learned some new things about prohibition and bootlegging which I loved。 。。。more

A departure for Sandra since this is a historical novel set during prohibition。 Very well done， and a lot of action to pull you in。

This book has typical Sandra Brown suspense， which I really like！ But， the story is way out of the norm for her。 I cant say I'm a fan of 1920s era story & liberties taken on era truth。 This book has typical Sandra Brown suspense， which I really like！ But， the story is way out of the norm for her。 I cant say I'm a fan of 1920s era story & liberties taken on era truth。 。。。more

I don't normally read Sandra Brown but the premise of Texas and prohibition era tempted me too much。 It was a great story--visualize a good TCM movie but give it a R rating！ I don't normally read Sandra Brown but the premise of Texas and prohibition era tempted me too much。 It was a great story--visualize a good TCM movie but give it a R rating！ 。。。more
