Well, who'd have thought...

I don't generally go for the modern romances. I like my historicals, but when this name keeps coming up at book clubs, conversations, and my recommendations on amazon....well, after so many times my curiosity got the better of me. And I must say, it was much better than anticipated. It's highly likely I will read something else of hers, since I enjoyed this one.

Like a good mocha - a perfect blend!

I agree with the comparisons that fans might make between "Open Season" and "Mr. Perfect" or the Blair books - there's obviously a lot of great chemistry, great bantering, and a lot of action from a crazed assassin. I'm not usually a fan of a suspense-romance that spends whole chapters in the mind of the villain (I like a little suspense with my romance, not the other way around,thank you very much), but I felt like this story balanced it out pretty well. The chapters with the villain only serve to explain the plot and build suspense, and the chapters with the protagonists are simply delicious and delightful and make up for any unpleasantness.

I truly loved Daisy and her innocent and spunky nature, and I love how Jack gets such a kick out of her. All the scenes where Jack is trying to undermine her senses are so fun and sexy, and they lead to a very believable connection. The fun they have together really balances the darkness of the other aspects of the plot.

This was one of the first Linda Howard books I ever read, and it's definitely the one that got me hooked! I can't count how many times I've reread Daisy and Jack's scenes. They ALWAYS make me laugh, smile, and cheer for them.

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.
