Sarah Stevens had been hired by the insistance of retired federal judge, Lowell Roberts. A kind man who’d received threats a few years back, the family, especially the daughter, didn’t want the judge living alone. Sarah is a female butler, hired to watch and guard him. Sarah takes care of everything, from the mundane daily living to the higher stuff like parties. She also guards him; drives him wherever he needs to go, watches his back. When two men break into the house intent on burglarizing the judge’s home, they are thwarted by Sarah, who calls it in.

In comes detective Thompson Cahill. Cahill had heard of the bumbled burglary and was curious enough to go to the house, mainly because of the 9-1-1 call. He was intrigued. Upon meeting Sarah, he instantly knew that Sarah was more than just a butler.

An attraction forms between them right from the get-go - purely physical at first. But soon both can’t get the other out of their heads. However, Sarah has attracted unwanted attention - a certain man thinks that Sarah is wasting her time taking care of the judge. She’s perfect, and he accepts nothing less than perfection. Sarah should be his.

While Sarah is out on her day off, the judge is murdered while sitting in his recliner. Guilt assaults her - had she been there, it wouldn’t have happened. Of course Sarah becomes the prime suspect, much to Cahill’s chagrin. But eventually they rule her out, and Cahill, a year after a particularly nasty divorce, decides to go after Sarah, without subtlety.

Sarah eventually takes on another job, just for both of bosses to be murdered in their house while Sarah is with Cahill. Again, she’s brought in for questioning, as a time gap between Cahill and Sarah becomes evident. Eventually, she is ruled out again, and is extremely hurt by Cahill’s treatment of her. Tired and upset, Sarah ends up taking on another job - with the man who wanted her since the beginning, unbeknownst to Sarah. Things move quickly when she realizes that she is now the possession of a deranged man, and Cahill will stop at nothing to get her out.

I loved the connection between Cahill and Sarah right from the start. Sparks for sure, and the banter between them reminded me so much of my husband and myself. Sex scenes erotic. The suspense and mystery were great, the ending twisted. What brought me to tears is what Sarah endures after the judge is murdered. Her actions, her feelings, reminded me of when my grandfather passed away, and I could feel her anguish. There was such feeling in this novel and I identified with so much. I couldn’t have asked for better!(less)

From my 2004 review:

3 1/2 stars for this.

It's formulaic, simple, predictable. Entertaining, nonetheless, with definitely NO tstl moments on the heroine's part! Sarah was likable and attractive because she is independent yet not abrasive and touchy. Tom Cahill, the hero detective, is loving, caring yet totally masculine and sexy. Just the types I like!

Plot was simple - deranged banker who forms an obsession with Sarah who is a butler/bodyguard and murders her employers to get her to work for him...more

Actually 3.5 stars.

Dying to Please was a great example of a solid, entertaining, and somewhat gritty romantic suspense novel. Although I had a bit of trouble with the villain (Linda Howard didn't quite sell me on his motivations, but more on that below), the actions, dialog, and thought patterns of the main characters felt real and believable. I was so grateful that Howard didn't break the tone of the rest of the novel by trying to "make it all better" in the epilogue (or venture into the realm...more

Narrated by Susan Ericksen

As a professional butler, Sarah Stevens is trained to manage large household down to the smallest details. She’s also skilled as a bodyguard, which comes in handy in her present position as butler to a retired Federal judge. When an obsessed admirer sets out to secure Sarah’s services by any means possible, Detective Thomas Cahill is brought in to lead the investigation. As the mystery deepens, Sarah finds herself drawn into the investigation. Complicating matters is the attraction that draws Cahill and Sarah to each other.

Susan Ericksen, best known for her outstanding narration of J.D. Robb’s In Death series, handles Dying to Please with the same skill. The pacing and dynamics of her performance are excellent. Ericksen’s reading feels natural and there is never any confusion about who is speaking during conversations. She proves her versatility by making Sarah and Cahill sound unique rather than copies of Eve and Roarke.

Sarah isn't a typical heroine. She’s capable and tough but not the sassy, bad-ass kind of heroine authors often employ when they want strong female leads. Sarah, in keeping with her butler training, is reserved and professional instead of snarky. Ericksen gives Sarah a cool, understated voice, one that conveys strength and humor.

Cahill is a great hero, although flawed and not always likeable. At one point in the story Cahill makes a huge error in judgment. Given Cahill’s job and his past relationship history, the error feels in character. Howard does a great job making us feel his pain when he realizes the damage he's done. It was refreshing to see Cahill take full responsibility for his actions, and I admired his determination to make it right. Ericksen aptly portrays Cahill’s wide range of feelings and emotions, always managing to make him sound completely male.

The dynamics between the Sarah and Cahill is especially well done. Their relationship takes some time to develop, and the conflict in the relationship wasn't a misunderstanding that can be cleared up with a five-minute conversation. Instead, it packs an emotional punch.

I recommend the audio version of Dying to Please for any romantic suspense fan. It’s a good introduction to Linda Howard, as well as a good introduction to the excellent narrative abilities of Susan Ericksen. In addition, there is this extremely hot wrestling scene, which is not to be missed.

พระเอกเป็นตำรวจอีกแล้วค่ะเล่มนี้
ค่อนข้างชอบ แต่ตอนต้น ๆ แอบน่าเบื่อเล็กน้อยค่ะ

และในส่วนที่เป็นสืบสวนนี่ ไม่ค่อยน่าลุ้นเท่าไหร่
คุณตำรวจหาผู้ร้ายไม่เจอเลย .. ดูอ่อน ๆ ไปหน่อย

นางเอกดูเข้มแข็งดี แต่ตอนโดนจับกลายเป็นไมได้ใช้วิชาอะไรเลย
อุตสาห์ปูทางมาซะเยอะ น่าจะให้ใช้บ้าง
จะได้ไม่ดูอ่อนแอมากเกินไป

สรุปว่าอ่านได้สนุกดี

My Thoughts:
This book was amazing! I have now read 2 books by Linda Howard and I can say for sure that I will be seeking out the others, I am a major fan of her novels already. DYING TO PLEASE (like ICE) matches suspense and fear with wonderful characters and hot romance in a perfect combo. In this book I loved Cahill, he was the perfect gruff and manly yet loving and sexy detective, and Sarah, falling for him fast and tipping her organized and routine world upside down, made a perfect match together. The writing style is easy to follow, the suspense keeps you on your toes, and the character interaction make you want more. I don't know what more you could want from a book like this. DYING TO PLEASE is a thrill ride; chilling, funny, sexy, and completely engrossing. I feel the same as I did with the first Linda Howard book I read, it is hands down very highly recommended.

Favorite Quotes:
"She enjoyed the private thrill; it was like riding a roller coaster without having to leave the ground." (Page 20)
Cahill ~ "Okay, you're right; she's so hot I could walk on three legs every time I see her." (Page 47)
"He had looked so frail in death, as if his spirit had kept one from realizing how heavily time had laid its hand on him." (Page 79)
Sarah ~ "You said you were hungry, but I thought you were talking normal, human hungry, not Koko the gorilla hungry." (Page 107)
"Not that she had any way of judging, but if her feminine instincts had been cats, they'd all have been purring right now in response to the testosterone she could practically smell on him." (Page 109)
Cahill ~ "I was afraid the idea of sleeping with me put you in a catatonic state." (Page 116)
"It was on the tip of her tongue to ask what other enormous qualities he had, but she stopped herself in time." (Page 116)
"The air was thick and heavy, as if a storm were building - not outside, but in here." (Page 162)
Sarah ~ "Is this one of those heavy-breathing calls?"
Cahill ~ "It could be." (Page 197)
"If the man got any more unromantic, the people in charge of Valentine's Day would put a bounty on him." (Page 212)
Cahill ~ "I bet I can think of more things to do with this chocolate syrup than you can." (Page 219)

Overall Opinion: A+ (or better!)

I was most certain that Dying to Please would be getting a 4 star rating but alas, it couldn't. That is not to say that I didn't enjoy it. Rather, something was amiss and I just couldn't bring myself to not be bothered about it. A female butler-slash-bodyguard is a way too intriguing story line for me to pass up on. Linda Howard has a peculiar way of making things heat up or cool down in a matter of minutes and that's what make her books such enjoyable reads.

I gave the book 3 stars out of 5 (I really wished we had a scale of 100 to rate upon as a 3 could range between 41 & 60,with much more room to place a book)...i would go around 50 on that type of scale. Was it great? Not by my estimation, but it was a solid read. I enjoyed myself in spite of the glaring wholes or faults I would find with this book. I would certainly read other books by Linda Howard, but I am also not racing to grab another one untill my list of books to read thins down a little.

The main characters were somewhat believable and likeable. There was good character development on both Sarah & Cahill. Not so much as to be drawn out, but enough to give both of them some depth as the plot evolved. The villian was almost excluded from the story/plot altogether with the exception of the last couple of chapters. I guess it is not necesary to have in all stories, a full developed villian....but this one had some promise. I felt like I would like to have gotten inside of his mind/heart as the story progressed and was somewhat letdown that we did not get to learn more of him.

The relationship between Sarah & Cahill was very contrived and unbelievable for me. Their early encounters and playfull, sexualy charged banter generated some early sparks and gave hints of a promising relationship. From there the relationship really went nowhere...constant sexual banter and inuendo between the two, combined with a total lack of depth really fell short of the mark for me in what was a very promising storyline. Every time they met there was just constant sexual banter between the two (which didn't seem to connect with the rest of sarah's personality?) WHAM...out of nowhere they begin talking about marriage??? I was picturing their relationship as an energized and prolonged one-night stand...for me this fell way short of the mark! Perhpas there are people who really do develop relationships in this manner...I guess I am just not one of them and do not know them personally either.

The plot though rolled very easily outside of these issues, and had me wanting to see what would ultimately happen. All in all a good read, and I would reccomend this book...but I wouldn't delete my to read list to place it next in line.(less)

Dying to please will certainly have you smiling and laughing. You can't not feel for Cahill and Sarah and that's what makes it such a great time filler. It felt realistic, nice and a worth-while read.
