Found at the thrift store. When I put in the ISBN number and pulled it up, it was categorized as a teen book, but I don't think that's right!

From inside jacket flap:

A fearless reporter trapped in a volatile siege, two yong lovers turned fugitie and a holdup that transforms a small desert town into a powder keg.

TV reporter Tiel McCoy is driving down Interstate 20 on her way to New Mexico for a well-earned vacation. But her itinerary is rewritten when she hears on the radio that the teenage daughter of well-known Fort Worth multimillionaire Russell Dendy has been kidnapped. At least that's the official story. In truth, Sabra Dendy is pregnant and has run away with her boyfriend, Ronnie Davison. After calling her editor, Tiel abandons her holiday plans in favor of pursuing the story. Then, in a town called Rojo Flats, on an innocuous visit to a convenience store, Tiel will come up close and personal with the barrel of a gun, the desperate young lovers...and the scoop of a lifetime. In the electrifying standoff that follows, she will meet and grow to trust a strangely familiar local rancher with healing hands who fate has also sent to the scene of the crime. She will learn why the two young runaways fear the wealthy father of one of them even more than the FBI and why, casting off a reporter's impartiality, she must defend them against a world bent on their destruction.

Okay, now I see that it involves teenagers. But was it written for a teenage audience?

Well guess what folks? I have another copy of this, plus I'd already gotten a duplicate copy and sent to another BookCrosser! Sometimes it's hard to keep up with what I have and what I don't!

So this is going as a surprise to ShyAnn!

Thank You So Much!

I received this title as a RABCK and was very touched and surprised by Casseytara's kind gesture!

Enjoy!

Caught this today, thanks ShyAnn! I have just recently 'discovered' Brown (Thanks to BC,and BreakEveryRule's ABC Author challenge), and I am now anxious to read another by her.

This one was okay - having read and thoroughly enjoyed "The Alibi", I was hoping for a little more in "Standoff". This was a quick and entertaining read; I enjoyed the storyline and the characters; the suspense was top-notch. It just didn't 'pull' me in, as the other work did. Perhaps that's because its written in 'real time' and the characters didn't come alive for me?

I enjoyed "The Alibi" so much tho - I'm going to continue to look for other works by this author.
