Loading... Burnby Linda Howard
None. Amazon preorder I hesitated to read this because of lots of reviews gave it a luke warm receipts. I should know better it;s Linda Howard it may not be what you would write but it's pretty damn good. This book stated a little differently from others, it started at the end. the the back story the back to the action. Kinda catching you up but not in a flashback sequence. From this book I learnt a few things I didn't know about the lottery. Jenner won the lotto, now her life is very different ( If i ever won the lotto, I have learnt what to do and what not to do) Anyhoo, flashback to Jenner present day and the story really begins. Personally 1) I would have NEVER let someone steal $50 much less $ 27400 that mother foooo oh ugh *coughs * ahem I meant what I was saying ugh Yeah Jenner has changed somewhat ok a whole lot but wouldn't you?? 2)Her 'love' scenario really smacks of Stockholm syndrome or even hero worship. I would be more pissed before we fell in love but then again people meet and fall 'in love' in some sticky situations doesn't mean they won't last. The female lead kept insisting she wasn't stupid, that she was strong and capable and sometimes that can be annoying. The main characters worked together well, and the relationship that formed was a natural formation from that. I am however dying to know about Adam, since his heart was broken in this book. I think this is a much like her other reads and I think this was definitively a book to read despite what others were saying. I enjoyed this one, the killer was a little too effed up; even for me. I mean really?? That's your solution to your personal problems??? But then again to each their own. Actually no f**k that he soo got what he deserved A**hole. See strong reactions - good book- you go read Enjoy my loves Jenner Redwine is an interesting character that grows and develops throughout the book as she moves from her life as a meat packer into the life of a millionaire after winning the lottery. After surviving the tumult created by the winning itself, and the changing attitudes of those around her, Jenner lands in the middle of a plot to sink a cruise ship. Though this is not Howard’s best novel, it is definitely entertaining and suspense filled romance. Enjoyed this book. It was a page turner. Linda Howard does not disappoint in this one. Who doesn't like a main character who is rich because she won the lottery? The lotto winner who needs to move on and get away from her family who keeps taking advantage of her. The cruise-ship kidnap was good and of course the rest of the romance was sweet. I don't like the violence leads to romance angle. no reviews | add a review
