It's true what they say: Money changes everything. And in Linda Howard's red-hot novel Burn, the changes come fast, furious, and filled with the kind of sexy suspense, heart-stopping romance, beautiful people, and risky business guaranteed to give you the most bang for your buck.

Money certainly changes Jenner Redwine's life when she wins a lottery jackpot. But it also costs her plenty: Her father rips her off and disappears, her fortune-hunting boyfriend soon becomes her ex, and friends-turned-freeloaders give her the cold shoulder when she stops paying for everything.

Flush with new money, Jenner can't imagine ever finding a place in the world of the wealthy. Seven years later, though, she's rubbing elbows with the rich, despite the fact she still feels like a party crasher. Luckily she finds an ally-and a guide to the rarefied realm of privilege-in shy, kind-hearted heiress Sydney Hazlett, who quickly becomes Jenner's confidante and surrogate sister.

When Sydney invites Jenner on a charity cruise aboard a luxury liner, Jenner reluctantly agrees. But while she's expecting-and dreading-two weeks of masquerade balls, art auctions, and preening glitterati, what she gets is more like a Hitchcock movie than a Love Boat episode. Taken hostage by a menacing stranger, Jenner must cooperate in a mysterious cloak-and-dagger scheme-or else. With nowhere to run, and with Sydney's life as well as her own at risk, Jenner is drawn into a game of dizzying intrigue and harrowing danger. But as her panic gives way to exhilaration, and fear of her captor turns to fascination, Jenner rediscovers feelings she hasn't had in years-and realizes she's found a life worth living. If she survives.

    Another Amazing Novel by Linda Howard

    BURN by Linda Howard This was an awesome book! It did start out a tad slow, but it sure made up for it. I loved Jenner, she is strong and sassy, and doesn't take any crap from Cael, and Cael was strong, sexy, delicious perfection. What a man, sigh, lol. ;) I adored their back and forth banter and arguments, and the frustration they had towards each other. Wonderful secondary characters as well. Great story just like all Linda Howard novels I have read. There was only one thing I didn't care for, and that was the end. I felt the follow up (the last page and a half) could have included more about what happened later, but it was still decent. Maybe I just need a sequel, lol. :) BURN is an incredible mix of suspense and sexy romance, and I highly recommend it!

    Oh Linda Howard, will you ever get back to the heart-stopping romance your fans enjoyed in earlier works, instead of intricately plotted mysteries bloated with secondary character details. I suppose the smidgen of romance thrown in keeps the book in the genre her fans expect from her, but for myself, a loyal fan who keeps buying her new novels (hardcovers and all), well, I just wished I hadn't bothered shelling out the cash. The story was ok if you're looking for a mystery, but a romance novel? Not a chance.

    Burnin up!

    Jenner (cool name) won the lottery ten years ago, and went from cheque to cheque to chairty ball to charity ball. The only thing she can't buy is some excitement: being rich is great, but boring as all get out. When her best friend suggests a charity crusie, Jenner agrees, hoping the change of place will help perk her up. Immediately after she arrives on board her best friend is kidnapped, and Jenner is forced to play girlfriend to the hottest kidnapper she's ever me. This is a great beach read. Howard is consistant in delivering fun, suspense filled, romantic books. I look forward to her every summer.
