Book Description:

Be careful what you wish for....

On her thirty-fourth birthday, Daisy Minor decides to make over her entire life. The small-town librarian has had it with her boring clothes, her ordinary looks, and nearly a decade without so much as a date. It's time to get a life -- and a sex life. The perennial good girl, Daisy transforms herself into a party girl extraordinaire -- dancing the night away at clubs, laughing and flirting with abandon -- and she's declared open season for manhunting. But her free-spirited fun turns to shattering danger when she witnesses something she shouldn't -- and becomes the target of a killer. Now, before she can meet the one man who can share her life, first she may need him to save it.

Seamlessly blending heart-pounding romance and breathless intrigue, Linda Howard delivers a stylish and provocative novel that absolutely defies readers to put it down.

Daisy Minor is an engaging character and the story, while starting off a bit slow, perhaps, soon becomes very enticing.

Daisy and Jack have become some of my favorite characters of Linda Howard. Great book. Loved the condom scene.

I loved this book. It was funny and suspenseful. Daisy and Jack are great. Mr. Perfect was the first Linda Howard book I read. Because I liked it so much, I read Open Season, which has become my favorite Linda Howard book and the reason that to this day, Linda Howard is one of my must read authors. I must admit however, her most recent books have been disappointing to me, as they have been very dark. I keep reading each book she puts out hoping that she'll go back to books like this one.

Another very good Linda Howard book, very hard to put down.

Laugh out loud funny!!! And I mean literally. I have never read a book that made me unable to contain my laughter, like 'Open Season' did.

Unfortunately, while reading the amusing parts I was sitting on a plane next to an elderly gentleman that did not appreciate my uncontrollable giggles. Okay, maybe they weren't giggles, but more annoying "pee your pants" laughter.

I give it 5 smileys :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) on the laughter scale.

On her thirty-fourth birthday, small-town librarian Daisy Minor resolves to enliven her boring life by finding a man with whom she'll have a steamy fling. Makeover done, she dances the night away and later finds a place of her own on the seamy side of town. Then one night she sees something that puts her in danger, and she finds herself having to deal with the infuriating local police chief--single, attractive . . . and sexy. Although the premise is a little shopworn and the "makeover changes all" plot point a trifle unbelievable, Linda Howard gives Daisy a lot of spirit and the police chief a lot of spice--and the result is good chemistry that makes for an enjoyable romantic thriller. Kate Forbes's narration is relaxed and sensual, her Southern accents believable.

For Daisy Minor, it's open season on men. The small-town librarian is tired of being a good girl, living with her widowed mother and spinster aunt. She wants to experience life and love, to have some fun, to meet a man. Before she starts her personal manhunt, she sets out to reinvent, or at least redecorate, herself. She seeks out a new look to match her new attitude, moves into her own place, and sets out in search of all the fun and adventure she's been missing. Soon she's dancing her nights away, flirting with men, and thoroughly enjoying her new free-spirited lifestyle. Then, late one night, she sees something that no one was supposed to see and finds herself in deadly danger. Suddenly, a killer declares it Open Season on Daisy Minor, and Daisy's one hope, for life and love, is to find the perfect man to save her life -- and share it.
