Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Watergate, Schmatergate, get a load of this: a dead infant, a sleazy president, a manic-depressive very first lady, an aide that makes G. Gordon Liddy look like a wuss, murder, adultery, a thousand skeletons peeping from a thousand closets. Exclusive moves so quickly because somebody is always doing something bad. TV journalist Barrie Travis interviews the very first lady, a Southern belle still mourning the death of her infant. With a mixture of horror and self-interest, Travis perceives the slightest hint that the very first infant didn't merely die, but was murdered. But by who, and why? As you can imagine, that's when it gets messy. The book might capsize under the sheer weight of seamy scandals and sleazy characters were it not for the almost-supernaturally spunky Travis and her somewhat reluctant love-object, craggy ex-Marine Gray Bondurant. Bondurant left the White House under a cloud. Was he the very first lady's lover? Travis and Bondurant come together to solve the mystery, of course. If you read fast, you might just keep up.

The book was in great condition and was offered at a very good price. The seller shipped it right away, and I got it in a very short period of time. Thank for making this a great experience!

**Spoliers* This was my very first book by this author. Though I wasn't over impressed, the author finally won me over in the epilogue of this novel. There was a lot in this book that made no sense. There was a lot of cringe worthy dialogue as well. And yet for the most part I was mildly entertained, at no point did I truely come to care for Barrie and Gray. The woman was a lousy reporter, barnone. And the whole time I was wondering who was taking care of Gray's horses while he was running around Washington. I can't believe that a man (The Senator)who had the type of relationship he reportedly had in this book with his daughter would encourage said daughter to marry a man who murdered a child-and then he didn't immediately wonder whether the man might have killed his own grandchild. There's so many things really, that makes the plot of this novel unbelievable-plus it relies too much on people NOT talking and well...luck. But again, Ms. Brown is a talented storyteller and you find yourself going along even though you know what she's saying is crazy. So in all, I do think this book is worth a peek, but you'll probably forget all about it within a week.

Barrie Travis is a small potatoes reporter looking for a story that'll catapult her into the big leagues. When she hooks up with the First Lady after the SIDS death of her son, she slowly uncovers a theory about his death which may even lead to murder, and soon finds she's a target of those sinister machinations. With the help of former White House aide Gray Boudrant, who left under a cloud of suspicion that he was having an affair with the First Lady (and might have fathered her child), Barrie slowly unravels more layers, which lead to some high ranking officials, while the First Lady remains in seclusion.
The romance between Barrie and Gray doesn't ring true, but Brown manages to make the pages sizzle. Sure, the story is pretty implausible, but Brown manages to just add one tense moment after another and throw so many villains your way, leading up to a riveting cathartic conclusion and complete surprise ending.

Sandra Brown's book exclusive is a decently written book, it wasn't very long, because it was the type of novel for long airplane flights and short drives, it was the type of book that is an alternative to watching reality T.V and saturday morning cartoons. I held no great expectations and it delivered none. The main female character is an impulsive woman who still seeks solcae from her early traumatic life, she embarrasses herself through out the book with her wrong hunches and mediocre ideas. She badgered the main male character into speaking with her, he didn't surrender much, yet, through circumstances spawned by her they open up 'a can of govermental worms you might say'.The rising to falling action is decent, the dialogue is pretty witty, all in all it's not a bad book.

First, let me say that some of the other reviewers are correct in that this is not a terribly deep story. But if you're looking for such a story, Sandra Brown is probably not the author for you. Nonetheless, I would STRONGLY recommend this book if you're looking for a fun, fast-paced mystery with an unconventional, but sweet relationship developing alongside the mystery.
Exclusive is definetly a page turner...I couldn't put it down! Far-fetched, yes, but also great fun, particulary if you're looking for a good vacation book. The mystery is kind of quirky, but very gripping.
The hero is the perfect tough guy throughout, but with key moments of kindness. And as another reader says, Barrie is a fabulous heroine. Very feisty, but the author also lets her make many mistakes which makes her all the more human. In short, the two of them have really great chemistry which sometimes doesn't happen in the more "hearts and flowers" type romances. Yes, the relationship is heavily centered on the physical aspect, but there are enough tender moments to keep it satisfying.
In addition to the the romance, there are also perfectly dispicable villains, and plenty of plot twits and action.
I'm a great Sandra Brown fan, and this is definetly one of my favorites. If you're looking for another of hers to try, I'd recommend "Where There's Smoke." She used to write romances which are also worth a read, but her more contemporary romantic suspenses are a hit nearly every time.
If you want complex characters, and unsensational plot, or hearts and flowers romance, this isn't for you, but if you want a fast, fun and sexy read, try Exclusive!
