false <![CDATA[Open Season]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255837714m/420734.jpg 420734 14 <B>Be careful what you wish for....</B> On her thirty-fourth birthday, Daisy Minor decides to make over her entire life. The small-town librarian has had it with her boring clothes, her ordinary looks, and nearly a decade without so much as a date. It's time to get a life -- and a sex life. The perennial good girl, Daisy transforms herself into a party girl extraordinaire -- dancing the night away at clubs, laughing and flirting with abandon -- and she's declared open season for manhunting. But her free-spirited fun turns to shattering danger when she witnesses something she shouldn't -- and becomes the target of a killer. Now, before she can meet the one man who can share her life, first she may need him to save it. Seamlessly blending heart-pounding romance and breathless intrigue, Linda Howard delivers a stylish and provocative novel that absolutely defies readers to put it down. 1784677 book 2001 Open Season total:1090|5:289|4:426|3:298|2:61|1:16| 1090 4181 1393 88 4 6 false false Thu Nov 20 01:48:46 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 16:46:37 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 01:48:46 -0800 2008 Still a four-star read the second time around! I loved Chief Russo more this time, in fact. The only thing I did not like and think it's the oddest addition to a book's ending is Sykes looking up Mrs Nolan.
