She could have use another intrigue/suspense and perhaps it would have been better... than taking the whole town hostage ^^; and then, there's Cate quick turn around... oh well, waiting for the next book.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1159506528029457682006-09-28T22:08:00.000-07:002006-09-28T22:08:00.000-07:00Rosie: Yes, the plot was definitely unrealistic. ...Rosie: Yes, the plot was definitely unrealistic. Cal was an unusual hero for LH and I liked him too.<BR/><BR/>Cindy: I doubt you would like this one. Not enough sex :) I'm afraid that LH has lost her spark but I'll keep reading and report back to you. Maybe the next one will be better.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1159505503012451052006-09-28T21:51:00.000-07:002006-09-28T21:51:00.000-07:00I think Howard is another author I am on a break f...I think Howard is another author I am on a break from. Like Tara Marie said, she has headed into more suspense than romance and I'm not there. Ah well.

He is so physically self assured and yet tongue tied and shy around Cate.<BR/><BR/>The whole conflict seemed a little implausible to me, but like you since it was LH...Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1159460352469635862006-09-28T09:19:00.000-07:002006-09-28T09:19:00.000-07:00Kristie: yes, wait for MM. $25.95 is ridiculous ...Kristie: yes, wait for MM. $25.95 is ridiculous price for this. Your reluctance to return library books probably stems from the fact you think of your books as your babies, am I right? When you check out a library book just think of it as babysitting :) I'll definitely be reading DDG but To Die For was only an OK read for me, so I hope I like it better.<BR/><BR/>Tara: I think you hit the nail on the head with this book. If there had been more romance (or more love scenes) I would have given this one a higher grade. I want it all ... a strong suspense and LOTS of romance.<BR/><BR/>Zeek: Yeah, I think many diehard LH fans are going to be disappointed with this one.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1159453271320322322006-09-28T07:21:00.000-07:002006-09-28T07:21:00.000-07:00"Many Linda Howard fans may find CoN rather dull b..."Many Linda Howard fans may find CoN rather dull but LH's dull is better than many author's best.

I really do hate this delayed gratifcation with hard cover. And I seem to have this real 'reluctance' about returning books to the library *g*.<BR/>The Howard I'm REALLY looking forward to is Drop Dead Gorgeous.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.com
