Book Review: Open Season by Linda Howard

 Open Season by Linda Howard
Title: Open Season

Author: Linda Howard

Stars 5 out of 5

Review:
Who doesn't love Linda Howard with her quick fun writing that will have you laughing one minute to biting your nails the next. Open season follows the line of Mr. Perfect with the perfect amount of humor, romance action and more.  Every time I reread Open Season I can't help but fall in love with Daisy Minor and she sweet southern charm and how she only sees the best in people. Jack Russo is funny, charming alpha male without being one sided or bland. 
I miss Linda Howard fun romantic suspense novels where the dialogue is fun, the sex doesn't go into massive details and the mystery is exciting and some times you wonder who the killer or killers are. Don't get me wrong you know everything in Open Season from beginning to end but the dialogue is what keeps the reader hooked from beginning to end.
I am not sure I can pick just one Linda Howard novel as my favorite but this is very close to the top.

Synopsis:
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.
