DYING TO PLEASE by Linda Howard
My Thoughts:
This book was amazing! I have now read 2 books by Linda Howard and
I can say for sure that I will be seeking out the others, I am a
major fan of her novels already. DYING TO PLEASE (like ICE) matches
suspense and fear with wonderful characters and hot romance in a
perfect combo. In this book I loved Cahill, he was the perfect
gruff and manly yet loving and sexy detective, and Sarah, falling
for him fast and tipping her organized and routine world upside
down, made a perfect match together. The writing style is easy to
follow, the suspense keeps you on your toes, and the character
interaction make you want more. I don't know what more you could
want from a book like this. DYING TO PLEASE is a thrill ride;
chilling, funny, sexy, and completely engrossing. I feel the same
as I did with the first Linda Howard book I read, it is hands down
very highly recommended.
