Rating:  Summary: Just Great! Review: This book is easily my favorite Linda Howard book--perhaps my favorite romance. The story is intense, sexy, sweet, and has a little bit of murder mystery thrown in. I always want to cry when Ms. Howard describes her heroine's battle with her appetite and when the hero remarks how he counts all of her smiles. I am emotionally connected with these characters and I never wanted the novel to end. I think I've read it three or four times since I first got it and the love between these characters just gets sweeter. I highly recommend this book to all romance readers. It's easily one of the best stories by one of the best writers.

Rating:  Summary: Linda Howard is Coming Into Her Own Review: This book is one of the best this author has produced. It not only has suspense which does not get revealed until well towards the end, but the characters are funny, loveable, empathetic. You cannot help but root for them to get their lives sorted out and back on track, though you understand what de-railed them in the first place. I have read this book completely and in parts innumerous times and keep it handy when I want to read, but don't want to get tied up in something new. It is and will continue to be one of my favorites.
Rating:  Summary: A Classic Book to Keep and Treasure ! Review: This book is the most heart-felt book that I have in my collection. The characters make you feel that you are there with them. The way Roanne loves Webb but still thinks that she can't measure upto Jessie. The way the family thinks about having Webb back but knowning they can't do anything about it. The secret lover, what will he do now that Webb is back? You will either love this book for it's love story or for the mystery, but you'll love it. I wish there was more stars to award it but there would still not be anuff.Please buy it because it is the best read in long time.
Rating:  Summary: Captures Your Emotions! Review: This book was truly wonderful. I couldn't put it down. It goes to show that even the wealthy, most powerful people have their own problems. Howard's eloquent descriptions of love, sex, and family troubles, really gets your emotions stirring. I feel that in some way anyone can relate to a character in the novel.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book! Review: This is an amazing story with interesting people. The mystery, the emotions, the fire was amazing. My only problem with the story was the last execution scene. It corrupted the hero and heroine; the fact that she gave him permission to kill the bad guy. But hey; it's just a story right and it was GOOD!
Rating:  Summary: Sweet and heartwrenching... Review: This is one of my favorite Linda Howard books. Roanna has led a very emotional life, one I can't imagine living. As a child, she loses her parents, the people who would love her unconditionally. She is then sent to live with her relatives, who are disappointed in her conduct and never fail to let her know. All her life, she has felt inadequate and insecure. The only person that shows his concern for her is Webb, her cousin. He was always concerned about her well-being and naturally, since he is the only positive life force in her life, she falls in love with him. Since the tragedy, Roanna has bottled up her emotions into the deepest part of her heart. Webb is the only one who can make her want to live again. I love the fact that Webb concentrates on making Roanna smile and laugh again and just concentrating on Roanna period. How many women have felt this way and wished someone could come and pay attention to us and save us? Webb is a true knight in shining armor. This book exudes romance. Don't read it for anything else otherwise you'll be disappointed. I think this story is something we can all relate to because it's real. I love the fact that we feel what Roanna feels and we are there reading every word of how she grows up into a splendid woman. Another reason I love this book: the main characters have also grown with maturity and not all is lost when you think it is otherwise.
Rating:  Summary: This book touched my heart! Review: This is one of the best books I've read. True enough, If it's written by Linda Howard, then it must really be good. As the story progressed, I became so affected by the plot and the characters especially Roanna & Webb. There were some scenes where I cried and/or laughed. It literally touched my heart. Linda's books have form part of my personal collections of favorite books together with that of Elizabeth Lowell & Jayne Ann Krenz.
Rating:  Summary: Best of Linda Howard Review: This is one of those books that you just can't stop thinking about, even when you have finished it. It is my favourite book by Linda Howard. Great sex, great story. Lots of twists and turns and you are never quite sure how it will end up. Of course, there is the obligatory happy ending but the path to it is full of interesting snarls. And great sex. Did I mention that? ;)
Rating:  Summary: Stays With You Long After You Read It Review: This was my first, and certainly won't be my last, Linda Howard. It was a very good read. My only problem with it was the prologue. After finishing the whole book, something in the prologue does not make sense (the girl wanting to marry the guy she is with). Yes, there are some taboo subjects covered here, but they didn't take away from the enjoyment of the story, at least not for me. I do wish the heroine were a stronger person, but she does, thankfully, evolve later on in the story.
