Summary: A THRILLING ADVENTURE NOVEL
Review: John Medina is the CIA's legendary Black Ops specialist, Niema Burdock is a communications expert.

Five years ago, Niema and her husband, Dallas, worked with Medina on a mission in Iran that resulted in Niema's husband's death.

The bombing of an airplane brings Medina and Niema back together. Now Niema must go undercover, and enter arms dealer Louis Ronsard's life to plant the undetectable bugs that are needed to stop his deadly ring.

The story moves along at a brisk pace, with enough action, and plot twists to keep the reader turning the pages.

"All The Queen's Men" is well written, with interesting characters. This is a good read for the beach, or the backyard...Enjoy!

Summary: Average for a howard book
Review: Expected much much better from a book on John Medina. Have been looking forward to it, but found it a letdown. Firstly, we have John, who is a superman who can do everything, maybe even sew a dress. In his line of work, he's constantly surrounded by murder, mayhem and worse, yet he manages to keep his humour and optimism intact without even a hint of cynicism. What does that make him? Ok, superman. Other than this, the lack of suspense in this romantic suspense story really irks. If one wants to know what is truly a romantic thriller, one should check out Anne Stuart's books. Now that's the real stuff.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Satisfied Customer
Review: This book is exactly what you would expect of Linda Howard's move into the suspense genre and it has not, in any way, affected the quality of her writing.

Don't pay any attention to people who say it's different in style, too sensual, too boring, too whatever... Any avid Linda Howard reader would recognise her style under any pseudonym. Too sensual? Not if you've ever read any existing Linda Howard novel, and boring - don't make me laugh.

The story grabs you from the very beginning and never lets go - not for a bit. I was ecstatic to witness the return of John Medina - he was one of those cleverly hinted at characters in one of her earlier novels. Niema is heartbreakingly feisty and vulnerable at the same time, like most of Linda Howard's heroines. John is the strong, silent loner who, in any other book, would be called a stereotype, but in this one just... fits.

The plot is strong and moves at a fast, suspense-filled pace. Surprisingly, one of the secondary characters strikes a bitter-sweet cord in your heart. Just when you thought you'd sifted out the good guys from the bad.

I too, can't wait for Chance McKenzie's story (please don't let it be too far away). In the meantime, I'll make do with anything Linda Howard has to offer. She hasn't disappointed me yet - and that is something I can say about very few authors in all my years of reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All the Queen's Men
Review: I found that this book is very focused on action. Howard has started to put more emphasis on the action part of her stories and less on dialogue. I loved Howard's book Dreamman and the next few books, but now she seems more determined to start writing on suspense rather than romance. She has a good way with words, but i would have liked it better with more romance and less..."Me man, you woman, let's get married" Actually, we don't even find out if they get married!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Master does it again
Review: I couldn't put this one down. I made the mistake of picking it up to start to read it a chapter or two at bedtime. Five hours later I finally closed the book. It was great, it was neat to see how she developed the characters, especially Medina who was literally a ghost in Kill and Tell. Definetly worth reading again, and again, and again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really enthralling!
Review: I don't care what the other reviewers thought, I really enjoyed this book! It had everything - danger, suspense, passion - It was Brilliant! One of the best Linda Howard books that I've read!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I didn't even finish it
Review: I love Linda Howard...I have read every book she has ever written. I was so disappointed with this book, I didn't even finish it. If you like Linda Howard, don't waste your time with this one. She must have been under deadline when she wrote this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good read!
Review: This was my first Linda Howard book and it had me on my toes.

I listened to this romantic thiller on tape. I normally don't listen to an audiobook more than once, but I did listened to "All the Queen's Men" three times. Ms. Howard strong writing skills are clearly seen in the romantic scenes. But she holds on in the suspense scenes.

I was glad to see a female character holding her own in a suspenseful book.

I'm looking forward to Ms. Howard next book.

Rating: 3 stars

Review: you'll like this book. If you like Linda Howard, you won't

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: John can come to my house
Review: What a fantastic book! Suspenseful, fast-paced and sooooooo romantic. Niema is one of Howard's best creations...A smart, savvy heroine who is a nice change from the shivering Paris Sweeney and deer-in-the-headlights Karen Whitlaw. John Medina is a dream. If only there really were such a man...
