This is the first book that Linda Howard writes in first person, similar to Janet Evanovich. This book was hilarious and extremely fun to read. You will be laughing out loud.
I love both the heroine Blair and the hero Wyatt. They make a well matched couple. They will make you laugh while their romance played out with a suspenseful story of someone trying to kill Blair. Supporting characters like the heroine's mom just add to the enjoyment of the story.
Loved, loved, loved this book! The male and female lead characters were great together. They were funny, bratty, clever and smart enough to recognize true love when they saw it! I can't wait to read the sequel Drop Dead Gorgeous.
I have read all of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels and really enjoy them...I love a story that never ends and keeps you entertained through different story plots. I am so excited to have found another series that keeps on going....Linda Howard's Blair Mallory series is full of humor and romance and suspense all in one....This is not your typical steamy romance novel though and is written in first person which is very easy and fast to read and is different for me, but I liked the character telling her story and Wyatt is very sexy. I am very excited to read the next books. Definitely recommend!!!
The first person narration would have worked better had it not been by a semi-valley girl ex cheerleader worried about matching her underwear. The plot was okay, but really didn't make much sense in the end.
Currently 5/5 Stars.

I love this book! I was doubtful when I saw it had a touch of humor, not certain that's what I wanted from Linda Howard. But this was wonderful. Blair Mallory is wickedly funny and smart as a whip. I could hardly wait to read the next book!
