I really liked this one. Of course for me I like how Linda Howard always switches things up. I feel like she does so well with not being repetitive! Thanks for another great one! ( )

I loved the peppy quirky nature of Blair who I first thought would irritate me as a rule. I found myself surprisingly into her as the book moved on. Well written and very entertaining! ( )

To Die For
5 Stars

Blair Mallory loves her life - she has a loving family, a successful business and an incredible wardrobe. The only problem is Nicole Goodwin - a wannabe stalker with a bad dye job. Thus, Blair is horrified but also relieved when Nicole is murdered. Unfortunately, sexy yet irritating homicide lieutenant, Wyatt Bloodsworth, believes the killer might be after Blair, and his suspicions are confirmed when she is _targeted. Who would want to kill Blair and why?

A completely delightful read and the audiobook narrated by Franette Liebow is totally "to die for"!

The mystery is entertaining and it is fun trying to figure out who has it in for Blair. Even though the resolution comes somewhat out of left field, it makes sense and the final confrontation is intense.

However, the real highlight of the book is the romance. Blair and Wyatt's chemistry is off the charts and their sex scenes are sizzling. While Blair might not be everyone's cup of tea, I loved her. She's snarky and cute and knows how to wrap her man around her little finger. No TSTL moments either!

Wyatt is also a fantastic hero. He is a man who knows what he wants and goes after it full steam ahead. Moreover, he has the patience of a saint considering all of Blair shennanigans.

All in all, a really fun book and I've already listened to and enjoyed the sequel.

Romance, intrigue, and page-turning fun! Blair Mallory is a fun, quirky woman who seems to regularly get into predicaments. Her relationship with her Wyatt Bloodsworth is full of passion and humor. I thoroughly enjoyed To Die For and look forward to reading more of Ms. Howard’s books. ( )

Dedication
This is to my dear high-maintenance friend, who killed a monitor in just such a fashion, and who provided me with so much inspiration for this story. I won't name names---this time.
