Summary: Amazing!
Review: This was my first Linda Howard book, but it certainly wasnt the last! I usually never read books like this but for some reason I just bought it, and I am very glad I did! Funny, sweet, and with a little bit of suspense made me love this book!!
Daisy Minor just had her 34th birthday and decides its time to change, what Daisy has in mind is nothing compared to what really happens! Very fun and interesting!

Summary: A Thriller-Lite
Review: This book reads like a modern-day Cinderella story, combining mystery with healthy doses of humour and witty exchanges. Daisy Minor wakes on the morning of her 34th birthday to the realisation that she's on the verge of becoming an old maid. After being a prim and proper librarian dressed in dowdy clothes for too long, she decides it's time to find herself a husband and start a family before it's too late. So she undergoes a makeover, dresses for attention and hits the local nightclub scene.Meanwhile, there seems to be a local trade in people smuggling being undertaken by the more enterprising criminals around town. Added to that, and possibly even related to it, is a sudden spree of women becoming victims of date-rape drugs. This becomes immediately relevant to the recently bloomed Daisy. Fortunately, although much to Daisy's great chagrin, she has captured the attention of the local police chief who takes it upon himself to act as Daisy's protector. Moments of hilarity ensue as she is embarrassed by his overt advances that he delights in - and so did I just quietly. The condom scenes where particular favourites of mine. I would class this as a thriller-lite novel with strong romantic comedy overtones. It is a particularly enjoyable book to read when you just want to sit back and relax whilst taking in some light entertainment. This one fits the bill to a tee.

Summary: Definately Open Season on Manhunting! Hilarious! 10 Stars!
Review: Another winner from Ms. Howard! Hilarious outlook on a woman turned 34 and living with her mother and aunt with no life. I was in tears reading this gem. Funny, funny, funny is about what sums this up! Right on caliber with her infamous novel 'Mr. Perfect', the right mix of humor, tension and romance to make this one another favorite for me...
It's not much of a thriller like her others, but what it lacks in suspense, it more than makes up for in pure humor and romance. Although, I don't think Ms. Howard intended it to be suspenseful anyway. Daisy Minor just woke up on her 34th birthday with an epiphany. She needs a man. Living with her mother and aunt for her entire life didn't leave her much in the romance department. She was going to change this...and a whole lot more, given the right little touches of course. Like a new wardrobe...how about some flattering makeup for starters? Maybe she'd even go as far as turning her mousy plain brown hair into something sexy? Would this attract a man? She needed to go one step farther...barhopping...yup, that'll do it. Not to mention she'd NEVER stepped foot into one, but she was about to change all that...it was open season on manhunting...the only thing she doesn't expect is to be caught up in some murder she'd unwittingly witnessed. Why couldn't she just have a normal life? Chief of Police Jack Russo just wanted some relaxing work after transfering from SWAT in NYPD to this tiny town that more resembled Mayberry in Alabama when some uptight spinster librarian decides to go off the deep end suddenly and change her life by barhopping and dancing with rowdy guys.
He does not need to complications derived from this. Now the niave woman has witnessed a murder and someone wants her dead! Sworn to protect and serve, Jack takes on the job, but lets the old fashioned Miss Priss gone Mayberry Lolita know where he stands...at least he tries to. Hysterical and so much fun, this one is a sure keeper! Daisy will have you in tears! She is so much fun and so different that the usual heroine, that I wish I knew her personally. The things she does and gets into will make you laugh for days!
Jack was equally as much fun and thinks its funny to push her buttons and make her blush. Tons of witty dialog and many sexy moments, this is a winner!!! Keep up the wonderful work Ms Howard! Tracy Talley~@

Summary: OPEN SEASON
Review: LORD HAVE MERCY THIS WOMAN CAN WRITE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HER AGE. BECUASE THE SELFISH SIDE OF ME DOESN'T WANT HER TO EVER DIE SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO WITHOUT HER BOOKS. IF YOU READ LINDA HOWARD, THIS WAS ANOTHER HIT. DO NOT MISS IT.

Summary: Nice Linda Howard-- Problems Solved too Easily
Review: This book is "classic Linda Howard" to a point, but I scored it only 4 stars, because I feel the book wrapped up too neatly and quickly. Also, the lead male character was too cookie-cutter beefcake. The female lead was very nicely developed and original, but you felt (if you are a Howard fan and have read all her books) that you could interchange her male lead with any of her other males like Mr. Perfect's Sam or Mackenzie's Wolf or Joe or Chance or.... If you are a Linda Howard fan you will want this book; it is a keeper. I just wish the problems hadn't been so conveniently and too-neatly wrapped up and the male lead so cookie-cutter.

Summary: Open Season
Review: Linda Howard did another fantastic job bringing the reader close with the characters. Not only did the writer have me glued to every page, she had me rolling with laughter, and grinning like a high school girl over her first crush. 34 year old Daisy Minor wants a husband and a family. The way she goes to get men to notice her has you cheering for her boldness and laughing at some of her stunts. And Jack Russo is the perfect man to push all those buttons that have you both wanting to smack him and kiss him. Their romance is a perfect blend of everything. It was so nice to read a book that had a bit of everything in it. Took me only a day to read and I never wanted it to end. Mr. Perfect was my favorite of Linda Howards, but now I just don't know. Give this one a read, you will not be disappointed.

Summary: I Liked It
Review: I thought OPEN SEASON was a great story. OPEN SEASON was my first Linda Howard book (I just finished DREAM MAN). Personally, I think she has a wonderful sense of humor and makes it obvious in her books. I thought OPEN SEASON was witty and clever and just...incredibly sexy. I really don't read much but I'm beginning to, as long as I have a book that holds my interest, and OPEN SEASON held it.
I personally liked OPEN SEASON more than DREAM MAN because OPEN SEASON (to me) was funnier. It was just hilarious. I laughed throughout the entire book.
I am very eager to read more Linda Howard books (MR. PERFECT, which I think is excellent, is the one I'm reading now).

Summary: interesting story
Review: this is a story about a woman stuck in a rut, desparate to be noticed and of course get married. so she remakes herself
hair/makeup/clothes - falls in love, and helps to catch the
bad guys in the process. it was neither a sweet book, nor
very entertaining. you can skip this if you are not a teenager
because only a teen would buy the storyline.

Summary: Ms. Howard Does It Again
Review: When I read what the book was about, I didn't think it would be up to Ms. Howard's usual writing. Was I ever wrong -- this just proves not to judge a book by its cover, in this case its dust cover. Once again Ms. Howard writes a good, steamy, romatic thriller.
Rating: 
Summary: Goodness!
Review: I nearly threw the book in frustration if I read the word "Goodness!" one more time. I dont know whats going on with Ms Howard, what happened to the standard she set in books like "After the Night", "Shade of Twilight" and "Heart of Fire"? It seems as if her books lately are being written so fast that she glosses over the great character development that is usual to her style of writing. However it was an o.k. book so thats why I gave it 3 stars, but if Ms Howard doesnt produce better soon then Im afraid I wont bother buying her again.
