Book Review:
''Friction'' by Sandra Brown is a gripping page-turner that blends family drama, forbidden attraction, and high-stakes suspense. Crawford Hunt wants his daughter back. Following the death of his wife, Crawford, a Texas Ranger, fell into a downward spiral that left him relegated to desk work and with his five-year-old daughter, Georgia, in the custody of her grandparents. But Crawford has cleaned up his act, and now the fate of his family lies with Judge Holly Spencer.

Ambitious and confident, Holly temporarily occupies the bench of her recently deceased mentor. With an election upcoming, she must prove herself worthy of making her judgeship permanent. Despite Crawford's obvious love for his child and his commitment to being an ideal parent, Holly is wary of his checkered past.

When a masked gunman barges into the courtroom during the guardianship hearing, Crawford reacts instinctively, saving Holly from a bullet. But his heroism soon takes on the taint of recklessness. The cloud over him grows even darker after he uncovers a horrifying truth about the courtroom gunman and realizes that the unknown person behind the shooting remains at large—and a threat.

Brown is one of the world's best-loved authors, and Friction is a must-read for fans of romantic suspense. Highly recommended!
