Dying to Please
Angeleyes avatar reviewed on + 217 more book reviews


Murder and hot desire like you would not believe. Linda Howard's heroes are direct descendants from primitive, savage, he-man hunter warriors, used to making the kill, flexing their muscles, and doing the whole you-woman, me-man, protect and defend thing. They mosey on in and stake their claim. Tom Cahill, policeman with an edge, is one of those guys. However, Sarah, the heroine, isn't a passive, stay-at-home and nest type of person. Oh, she does do those things, but that's her job. She's a butler plus a trained bodyguard. She kicks butt in admirable style. When her employer gets murdered by a sicko determined to have Sarah at his own beck and call, Cahill gets involved in the case.This is raw, steamy, boiling sexual tension that doesn't let up! Yes, there is a plot - a rather riveting one, as Sarah becomes the obsession of one very sick person who is methodically killing off the people she works for - leaving her as the main suspect! Back to Cahill and Sarah, they are an inspiring couple, as they take up the fine art of strip wrestling (forget poker!) Excuse us, while we dash out and buy a wrestling mat...Taut suspense and the kind of story we have come to expect from Linda Howard mean you will read this over and over!
