#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown delivers a riveting thriller where a conflict of conscience for a former football star and an ambitious state prosecutor swiftly intensifies into a fight for their lives. Former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Zach Bridger hasnt seen his ex-wife, Rebecca Pratt, for some timenot since their volatile marriage implodedso hes shocked to receive a life-altering call about her. Rebecca has been placed on life support after a violent assault, and hedespite their divorcehas medical power-of-attorney. Zach is asked to make an impossible choice: keep her on life support or take her off of it. Buckling under the weight of the responsibility and the glare of public scrutiny, Zach ultimately walks away, letting Rebecca's parents have the final say. Four years later, Rebecca's attacker, Ebanthe scion of a wealthy family in Atlantagets an early release from prison. The ludicrous miscarriage of justice reeks of favoritism, and Kate Lennon, a brilliant state prosecutor, is determined to put him back behind bars. Rebeccas parents have kept her alive all these years, but if her condition were to changeif she were to dieEban could be retried on a new charge: murder. It isnt lost on Zach that in order for Eban to be charged with Rebeccas murder, Zach must actually be the one to kill her. He rejects Kates legal standpoint but cant resist their ill-timed attraction to each other. Eban, having realized the jeopardy hes in, plots to make certain that neither Zach nor Kate lives to see the death of Rebeccaand the end of his freedom.

I enjoyed Overkill; it has a few different things going on that all come together well. I loved Zach‘s story; his fall and then quiet redemption intermingled with the narrative made for a great story. I also liked Kate; her tough determination mixed with her desire for true justice made her such a positive, strong character. While there were certain aspects of the ending that seemed inevitable, there were other parts that completely surprised me.

I seriously went back to the cover to check if this was the author I thought I was reading. To me this read‘s like it was written by a man, even the steam, but it wasn‘t which made it somehow quite intriguing.

I‘ve only read a few books by Sandra Brown but I want to read as many of hers as I can! I love her books and they always keep my on the edge of my seat. I read this one in two days because it was so good! I look forward to her other novels!

Maybe it‘s just me… but this wasn‘t my favorite of her books. From the beginning I felt like it was a little off. The storyline was good, but it lacked the can‘t-put-down factor that her books normally have. I usually finish her books in a day or two - I read this one over the whole week. 3.5 ⭐️

Probably one of Brown‘s more disgusting/utterly despicable villains (although there have been a lot). This storyline is tough. While you wonder how she came up with the scenario, you can see it happening, which makes it a lot more real. At times, it‘s hard to stomach. The recounted violence was visceral. Brown will always be a top-notch author IMO, and she knocked it out of the park with this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CoverToCoverGirl 💯agree! I‘ve just finished this one today. Quite a ride. 2y
StellaDz @CoverToCoverGirl it was a slow burn, I felt, letting me savour it and then those last 100 pages?! 😮😮 I stayed up late finishing it! 2y

4 ⭐ This is the first time I have ever listened to Sandra Brown. I have loved her books for years but have not been able to keep up with the new stuff. So, this was a nice return to her story telling.

Zach is an ex pro football player. Kate is a member of the Attorney General‘s office, and she is seeking out Zack for one thing: to turn his ex-wife‘s life support off. Rebecca has been surviving in a special facility after a

LibrarianRyan traumatic brain injury for four years. Until the incident, Zach had no idea he was still the person who held the power over medical decisions. He and Rebecca had been divorced for 5 years. Rebecca‘s condition is no accident. Eban was sentenced to prison for his part in Rebecca‘s condition, but has just been released early. Eban comes from an extremely wealthy family. When he was released, he was given back his passports and his rights to move 2y
LibrarianRyan around as he sees fit.

Kate knows Eban should not be out. He will just continue to do what he did to Rebecca to others. But she can not retry him for battery, or anything thing else. Double Jeopardy. However, there are statues of limitations for murder, and since Rebecca‘s current condition was caused by Eban and his “friends” when she dies, Eban can be tried for murder.

This book was highly interesting. Was it Sandra‘s best? No, but I
2y
LibrarianRyan still enjoyed the ride of the story. The end did drag on a little, and parts of it pissed me off, but overall it was an entertaining listen. I really liked the audiobook narrator. They had the perfect rasp to their voice for really make it feel like Zach was telling this story. But at the same time, that rasp could be grating on the ears if one listened to it too loud, for example in the car with all the windows down. 2y
