Mr. Perfect by Linda Howards
Hero: Sam Donovan
Heroine: Jaine Bright
Grade: A-
What would make the perfect man?
That's the deliciously racy topic that Jaine Bright and her three girlfriends are pondering one night at their favorite after-hours hot spot: Mr. Perfect. Would he be tall, dark, and handsome? Caring and warmhearted -- or will just muscular do? As their conversation hears up, they concoct a tongue-in-cheek checklist that becomes an overnight sensation, spreading like wildfire at work and sizzling along e-mail lines. But what began as a joke among friends turns deadly serious when one of the four women is murdered....Turning to her neighbor, an unpredictable police detective, for help, Jaine must unmask a killer to save her friends -- and herself. Now, knowing whom to trust and whom to love is a matter of survival -- as the dream of Mr. Perfect becomes a chilling nightmare.
For starters, this book flat out rocked my flippin' socks.
I loved this book the first time I read it and I loved it even more the numerous other times I've read it, and this last reread was no different. Hot damn, I can read that window scene over and over again and still love it to pieces.
Jaine Bright is a great heroine, she's smart, she's sassy and she doesn't take any bull from anyone. She's just your average girl next door type but man has she got a quick wit that will have you laughing and rootin' her on at the same time, she's great fun to read about and she brought a lot of personality to the book. She's really a man's best wet dream wrapped up in one woman. She's smart, sexy and she has an obsession with cool cars, what's not to love right?
Sam Donovan is one hot ass hero. Pardon my french. LOL. Damn, I loved him even when Jaine thought he was a horrible drunk with no job and what not. I loved when they fought in front of her house because she made all the racket in front of their houses with the garbage can, I loved when they fought in front of her house when she was washing her car and how they almost ended up doing it right then and there.
But what I most loved about him was the window scene in this book...if you've read this book, you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't then by all that's holy, you're missing out on one of the BEST window scenes ever written, *grin* So you should totally get out there and get this book and then read the heck out of it...you'll totally enjoy it.
This book is action packed, humor filled mixed with a bit of mystery. It's one of those books that you won't want to put down until the very last page and the love story in the book is such a good one, I'm serios when I say, GET THIS BOOK...everyone should read this book at least once in their life.
I'm pretty sure that you'll like it...how can you not?
My favorite quote in this book?
"She didn't like being married to a cop and I didn't like being married to a bitch."
-Sam Donovan
Oh you gotta love it.
