Summary: Can't go wrong with Linda Howard!
Comment: Don't listen to "Heartless" review. This book was great! Linda Howard has a unique writing style. She gives us a story through the characters in such a way that you see they're views, even when their misguided and confused.
Example: (Not a spoiler) No, he didn't really believe her when she was run off the road, but she wasn't very insistent because she was assuming he wouldn't anyway because of her own past experiences. And he wasn't trying to be cruel. He just assumed she wasn't sure because of being so shaken.
Her Heroes are very "alpha," but only because they are so passionate. Always trying to hold on to these women and convince them to share their lives with them. Who wouldn't love the passion and persistence of men like Linda Howard's?
Yes, it was obvious who the bad guy was, and in a way, I don't think that it was supposed to be a great mystery, at least not to the reader. She gives us insight through her characters to the mistakes we all make by making assumptions without communication. You can't go wrong with Linda Howard. She's a great author.

Summary: Typical older Linda Howard...but GOOD!
Comment: HEARTBREAKER was one Linda Howard book I had not read yet and I have been anxiously awaiting its re-release. Although not a stellar written book, it was one that once I got into it, could not put down.
The storyline is this: Michelle Cabot has returned to her now deceased father's rundown ranch to try and salvage it. John Rafferty is her next door neighbor and her nemesis. Each think they know about the other and their opinions are not high of one another.
Michelle is trying to rebuild her life after a failed marriage to an abusive man. To help do this, she wants to make a success of the ranch. Enter John, who thinks she cannot. This is the basis for this book, and one that has been told many times by other authors, but one that Linda Howard can tell well.
Like many of her heroes, John is an alpha male extraordinaire and Michelle is the heroine who seems weak, but is really quite overpowering to the hero and it is fun watching him falling in love with her...hard.
I thought the story started out slow, but once I got into reading it, I could not put the book down! It has it all: love, romance, suspense, colorful characters and of course, steamy lovemaking scenes that typify Linda Howard. HEARTBREAKER is not her best work, but if you enjoy her writing as much as I do, not one to miss.
Note: this book goes along with Diamond Bay, Midnight Rainbow and White Lies. Although it is not necessary to have read the other books, the characters from Diamond Bay are mentioned.

Summary: Heartless
Comment: The book was too dated and predictable for me. It was obvious that the stalker was the ex-husband.Obvious, that is, to everyone but Michelle and John.I also found John somewhat lacking in the romantic touch. (...)
He also doesn't seem to like her very much. Even when he finds out that she's just a loveable bundle of neuroses, he still thinks she lied about having been run off the road rather than own up to wrecking his car, but he magnanimously forgives her. Big of him.So I was singularly unconvinced when he fell in love with her, despite some pretty good sex scenes.
I think LInda Howard's come a long way, but in this fairly early book she couldn't seem to make her heroes both sexy and acceptable human beings.
