Summary: Not as good as I expected!
Review: This book is the second in a trilogy taking place on the set of Valentine Valley, the hottest fictional soap around. I really enjoyed the first in this series (Long, Lean, and Lethal), so I couldn't wait to start this one!

This book features Serena McCromack and Liam Murphy as the lead characters, both of whom are also in the first book. I started this with the expectation of catching up with old friends, but this one didn't have the suspense or mystery of the first book. I kept wanting to put it down, I only read on to find out who the killer was. I disagree with fellow reviewers that it was easy to figure this mystery out, I was surprised at the ending.

What also bothered me was how childish all these characters keep acting, for being in their early 30's, they act like teenagers! Also, it seemed unrealistic that everyone would stay up all night after something bad would happen (don't want to spoil anything) and then go to work the next day looking great and feeling refreshed. Then the next night, the same thing would happen over and over again. I kept thinking they must have great make up people on this soap opera, I know how I look and feel after one night without a lot of sleep!

I would only recommend this if you are a Heather Graham fan and following the trilogy. Otherwise, I'd skip this one and read any of her other great books.

Summary: It could have been worse
Review: This book was better than the 1st in this series, but it still wasn't nearly as good as other Heather Graham novels. I agree with those who've said this book is a bit shallow and childish. One thing I don't like about this book and other Heather Graham novels is that she doesn't bother to tell you if you are reading a series. While I realize that each book can stand on its own, it would be nice to know if you're reading a trilogy or series. I actually read Dying to Have Her before I read Long, Lean and Lethal and didn't realize Dying to Have Her was the second book in this trilogy. In fact, I have yet to figure out what the third book in this series is. Dying to Have Her wasn't something that I had trouble finishing, but neither was it something I couldn't put down. If I find out the third in the series, I will probably read it just because I've read the other two, but if you haven't read any in this series, I'd opt for her civil war series; they are truly great books.

Summary: THis is my First Heather Grahm Book
Review: Wow, I am very surprised. I had never read any of her books before, but I gave this one a try and couldn't put it down. So when I saw how bad her reviewes were I was really surprised, but it gives me hope. I have read all of my favorite author's books and need a new one to read. I love Julie Garwood, Judith McNaught and Linda Howard so now that I read and liked this book and this is I guess a bad one for her I am really looking forward to reading more.
