Summary: It made me melt.
Review: A hero who's strong AND sensitive--we all love that, but the fact that Marc Chastain sets out to sedeuce Karen Whitlaw in just 48 hours had me as steamy as the New Orleans streets described in the book. Couple that with a heronie who's smart AND strong, and the combination is deadly. However, "Kill and Tell" also had plenty of action and suspese to balance the romance. I love a good romantic suspese book with an equal balance of both--and this one has it.

Summary: Sexy, Hot, and Full-Steam Ahead!...Super Story!
Review: Kill and Tell by Linda Howard is a story that I know the reader will enjoy. It's chocked-full of sexy scenes, and a damn good plot to go with it! Ms. Howard is one of the many female writers I enjoy!

Summary: Good storyline
Review: I enjoyed the plot and the characters of this book. The heroine was very likable and not the usual to innocent dummy and the man well he was typical Howard but the heroine made up for that so worth a read.

Summary: 3 1/2 stars really
Review: I like Howard's style of writing and this book had a lot of potential. The plot was good, not too complicated but interesting. The sex scene was one of the hottest and best I've read. The main thing that bothered me was the lack of description of the heroine. Even until the end of the book, I still couldn't visualize Karen, the heroine of this book. To me, a romance novel needs to have vivid descriptions of the two protagonists so that the reader can visualize them. Also, although much of the novel seemed realistic, the romance oddly did not. How realistic is it that two people can fall head-over-heels, I-want-to-marry-you-and-have-babies in love in three days?? Even if that was possible, there would have to be some basis for it. Howard didn't show that these two had any deep, long conversations that would have led them to know anything about one another. That was disappointing.

Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: This is the first book I read of Linda Howard's and I enjoyed it very much--so much so that I have been selectively picking up other books by this author. The main characters were very interesting, especially the male, Detective Marc Chastain. My only complaint is that the female, Karen Whitlaw, seemed somewhat weak-kneed or muzzy-headed at times. I typically do not like books with a lot of explicit sex, but there was enough story to let me skip the more graphic descriptions without ending up missing most of the book (a complaint I have with a lot of authors who seem to think, if you don't have a sex scene every 7 pages, you have somehow failed your reader). The tension and action were great.If you get this book and even just sort of like it, I highly recommend "All the Queen's Men" and "Mr. Perfect", and pretty much in that order. You can see how Ms. Howard's skill are improving with each book. The heroines get stronger, everyone gets more believable, and the tension is...well...really tense. Each book gets better.

Summary: Lots of Political Intrigue....and suspense...
Review: Not a real typical Linda Howard, by that I mean that I associate her books with very wierd twists and really scary killers. This was a very good story, but did lack the real weird aspects of her other works. But an enjoyable read that will keep you thinking... ~Karen Whitlaw is having a tough year. A good nurse and person, her mother suddenly dies and she is feeling lost and vulnerable when she gets a call from the New Orleans Police that her estranged father she hasn't seen since she was 13 has been murdered. Last she knew, her distant father was living on the streets and couldn't hold down a job. Who would murder a homeless man? The questions begin to mount and when she flies down to identify the body she is shocked to find the detective on the case, Marc Chastain, is gorgeous and seems to want her and want her badly! Marc knows something is weird about the way the homeless man was killed on the streets of New Orleans and he needs to meet his estranged daughter to find out what it is about the man that has him thinking something is very wrong. Expecting to meet a cold and heartless woman, he is shocked to realize he wants the icy woman named Karen!
Both must keep their heads while they try to uncover truths about the murder and the man behind the homeless vet Karen had written off for almost 14 years! Who was he...really? Was he a crazed Vietnam vet living on the streets? Or was he hiding a treacherous and painful secret that drove him to abandon the family he loved more than life itself? What was he hiding that would cause someone to hunt a homeless man down like an animal and murder him? When the two find the truths behind the man and his deep secrets they find themselves targets...Karen also finds the love she never lost for the man she called father and must heal. Tracy Talley~@

Summary: Steamy!
Review: This book was steamy enough to get wrinkles out of fabric. I read it in a day (as I do with books that I really get into) and was literally unable to put it down... The suspense is well done; you are nervous, even frightened for the herione. And the sex? Well, lets say that you don't need any erotic if you have Linda Howard. And the romance is very well done. You even will heave a sweet sigh when you finish and feel that the world is okay if such things happen. Linda Howard always creates an intense world centered around a strong man and an even stronger woman. This is one of her best.

Summary: Interesting plot and...
Review: I consider this book my favorite of Linda Howard's and find it worth reading more than once.
Karen's father's death and the introduction of his book adds the needed mystery to this book.
BUT what really hold your attention and makes you keep turning those pages is Marc and his relationship with Karen, established early in the story. Once Marc discovers he's made a mistake in his judgement of Karen the tension really picks up. His New Orleans charm and treatment of her is both gentlemanly and exciting. I especially enjoyed the early balcony scene at
Marc's home in the French Quarter. Looking for a sequel.
A must read if you like Linda Howard!

Summary: Sexy and intriguing
Review: Linda Howard's "Kill and Tell" is the perfect mix of romance and suspense. This novel completely blew me away, and I couldn't put it down, not even to sleep. After work one morning, Karen Whitlaw receives a call saying her father has been murdered on the streets of New Orleans. She is shocked; she has barely known her father since he left the family after returning from Vietnam. She heads down to Louisiana, where she meets up with Detective Marc Chastain, who helps her and comforts her over her father's death. Karen soon returns to her apartment in Columbus, Ohio, but soon things too strange to be coincidence start happening. She returns to Marc to hide out and to discover why her father was murdered--and why they are after her now. Howard does an amazing job mixing in romance and suspense. I was breathless at the end of the love-making scenes and on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen. I highly recommend this book.
