Linda Howard's novels have been on my keeper shelf for over a decade. Combining suspense, action, and alpha heroes, there is something elemental about her writing.

That being said, this one is a little different. Writing in a first person point of view, Linda Howard experiments with a different style. Personally, I found it very funny.

Blair Mallory is a self-made woman. Southern belle be dammed. She knows how to get what she wants and more power to her. Unfortunately a murder makes her life very, very sucky. And it also brings back into her life a certain detective who dumped her after a handful of very hot dates.

I quite enjoyed reading Blair and Wyatt's story. Linda Howard really turns up the humor factor and I found myself laughing quite a bit. Of course, it's quite different from her usual fare, but a really fun read.
