Open Season

Rating:
Summary: A fun, rainy-day read!
Review: This was a quick, enjoyable read. A friend passed it on to me and frankly, I thought it would be a bore. I was so wrong! There's romance, humor and suspense, and I couldn't put it down.

Rating:
Summary: Too Cute!
Review: I expected a little more suspense and was surprised that this was a hardcover. "A Game of Chance" had more suspense and a better romance. But this was an amusing read. It definitely moved right along. It seems Linda added a golden retriever since it worked so well for Janet Evanovich but what the heck, it was a nice weekend read. These kinds of books belong in paperback.

Summary: Grrreat book
Review: I'm 22 years old and I wasn't a real big reader until I read this book. Now I love to read, thanks to this book, I see what I have been missing all these years. Excellent book, highly recommended

Summary: What Happen to Linda Howard?????
Review: Linda Howard's last two books have really been bad, bad, bad!! And, that's a compliment. What happened, Linda?

Rating:
Summary: Sabbatical?
Review: Has Linda Howard taken a sabbatical and someone else written this book using her name? This book is mediocre at best. It certainly is not up to her standards. This stands as a hastily written, rapidly produced product for profit and certainly not worth reading. Linda, if this is what you are going to start turning out, count me as a former reader.

Rating:
Summary: Great for Older Single Women
Review: I picked up this book because it was a recommended title and the author is from my home state of Alabama. I really enjoyed the book because it addresses the anxiety that all older single women go through from time to time, trying to find a good man. Howard explores not only the man-woman relationship, but also the interaction between friends and family. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a light, funny read.

Summary: Pay the ransom! Please!!
Review: After reading the last several Linda Howard novels, I can only assume is that she was kidnapped about five years ago, and her publisher decided it was cheaper to hire a ghost writer than to pay the ransom the kidnappers demanded. All I can say is: Pay the ransom! The real Linda Howard wrote such wonderful romances for Silhouette and several early on for Pocket, but this "ghost" can't begin to match her emotional depth, plotting or characterization. Get her back before her reputation is ruined past redemption!

Summary: Save Yourself Some Money!
Review: I have read almost all of Linda Howard's books and have found them to be quite enjoyable--with the exception of this one! The book jacket implies that there is a great mystery and romance in the book--you get no mystery and a mediocre romance. You know who did what after the first chapter. Take my advice and avoid this book!!! If you choose to ignore my advice wait until the book comes out in paperback and save the money!!!!

Summary: Good news: Fast read Bad News: Boring
Review: After this story, I will take Linda Howard off my "read" list. This was truly a ridiculous story. Ugly ducking at age 34 turns into swan and falls in love. And along the way, there is a supposedly a mystery going on. Mr Perfect was quite good. Too bad this wasn't also.

Summary: Surprise
Review: If you are looking for one of those heart-throbbing romances, that Linda Howard typical writes, you are going to be disappointed with this. To my very disappointment, Ms. Howard has been slowly but moving away from her wonderful love stories (my favorites: After the Night, Shades of Twilight, Duncan's Bride, Loving Evangeline, to mentioned a few), into stories without any heart felt, heart moving stories that just that "stories". I would like for Ms. Howard to read some of her old love stories to capture the feeling again.

Whatever happened to characters such as Zane and Joe, as well as Duncan (and the characters from Shades of Twilight, Roanna and). With the power and strength of their characters that made their stories so compelling and pleasurable to read. . . . Open Season, however, made me wondering if I was reading a book written by Linda Howard. I am one of your biggest fans and I miss your love stories. Both Mr. Perfect and this last one Open Season were a big disappointment to me,
