This one gets thumbs up and I'm looking forward to reading more from Linda Howard! It bugged me a bit but I was enjoying everything else about the story that in the end it didn’t matter. There was some mystery and a bit of suspense but this is where I found things predictable. When something happens that puts Daisy in some danger Jack’s protectiveness kicks in to gear. Jack found his nerves on edge every time he was around her. There was always something swirling around Daisy which drove Jack batty but Daisy was determined to find herself a husband. The banter between Daisy and Jack was perfect. There is also something sexy about a guy who appeared to be enamored with said Librarian from day one. He was the police chief so he was tough and burly too. Whenever she decided to go to the local drug store and buy a “party-pack” box of condoms……I couldn’t stop laughing.Īnd there was a lot to love about Jack. There were some scene’s that had me laughing out loud. She was done with being plain Jane and all about becoming the new and improved Daisy. Daisy Minor was a 34 year old Librarian who was about to find her inner tiger that would finally snag a guy of husband material. The two main characters were fantastic together. I was hooked right from the get go and just let the story unfold ignoring some of the predictability. I haven’t read many Linda Howard books but for the ones that I have I did enjoy then.
