Introductions- New Members Please Introduce Yourselves
Welcome to the group Cassandra! Congrats on 23 years! I just celebrated my 25th this month!! This is a great group, have fun!!! 
Thank you and congratulations on 25 years of wedded bliss!
Hi, I'm Bethann and I'm a long time LH fan. I constantly re-read many of her older works focusing on the stories with her more alpha H's and have a big soft spot for her h, Blair Mallory.
Welcome to our group, Bethann. I am to get to know you. I do love LH's alpha males. I think you will find that we often reread her older, and newer, books. So join in the fun.
Hi! I'm a huge fan of Linda Howard. I have all her books and can read them over and over again. So happy to have found this group!
Hi Serenity, I am so glad you have become a part of our group. I think you will find that you will find a bunch of wonderful people in our group.
Welcome Serenity, Bethann, Cassandra, Mary, Mourning_Elf, CD, and all of the rest of you. This is really a wonderful group. I have been a member for more than two years
Hi, I'm Joana and I'm new in goodreads. I am 28 and joined this group because Linda Howard is one of my favourite authors.
I loved reading Cry no More and James Diaz became one of the my favourite male characters of all time.
Books are my passion and and I'm happy I found this group.
Welcome Joana. We am so glad you have found our group and joined it. I think we have a bunch of great members, so I look forward to getting to know you and you us.

Welcome to the LHBJ Group Bethann, Serenity, and Joana!!!
Hi, I'm Catherine- haven't been on GR for a while :) Linda Howard is one of my favourite authors and one that I always re-read- especially when in need of a pick me up. My favourites (can't pick just one) are Mackenzie series, Open Season and both Blair Mallory books.
Welcome to our group, Catherine. Those books are my favorite too. I am looking forward to getting to know you and you us.
Welcome to the group Cathy!!!!
Hi! I'm relatively new to the GR community. I've been using the site to check up on all the books that catch my interest
Welcome Fluteak94. You have caught my interest, do you play the flute? Whether you do or don't welcome to our group. I hope you enjoy this group. I know I love it! If there is anything you want or need let me know. I am one of the moderators. So nice getting to know you.
I do play the flute! I'm from India so I play the wooden flute
How cool? It amazes me that several of my friends are from India. I know it is the second largest country, but a few years ago getting to know people half way around the world was unheard of.
I have got hooked onto her writing from when I read After the Night. That book I read about a million times, I just love it, the protagonists and their characterization. It wasn't much of a suspense really but the relation between the two of them just made me turn pages. And then I moved on to Mr. Perfect and that did it for me, I just couldn't expect something like the profound piffle that has been spouted in this book from the same author that gave me a sweet book like After the Night. Anyway, I would still like to give her a benefit of doubt and try on one more... any suggestions?

Harika, if you liked/enjoyed reading After The Night, then you should check out these books:
(shorter "oldie")I think above books were with the most similar plot style to After The Night.

HARIKAFirst off I want to welcome you to our group. I think it is pretty special. As far as books that are really good IMO it would be easier to say which books are not that great, but then again their will be as many different opinions as their are people in this group. I think the real adventure will be to read them. This month I will be reading Midnight Rainbow. Come with us and enjoy the read.
Hello my name is Tammy. I am also a big Linda Howard fan and have been every since I read the book After the Night I was hooked!
Thank you so much for your nice welcome Dee.I was guided to Goodreads and LHBJ group by my friend Eve and I enjoy this group very much. Its so much more fun to read books and discuss them with other members :-)
I really enjoy reading romance, romantic suspense, mysteries. Not very fond of historicals. My favorite auhtors are: Linda Howard, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Kay Hooper, Christina Dodd, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, if to name only some authors. But I have very special fondness for Linda Howard's books - her books always manage to hook me from the beginning and won't let me go till I have finished. I wonder what her secret is?

Welcome Tammy. I am so glad you have joined. I think you will find we have a great bunch of ladies and that we have a lot of fun in our group.

Welcome Marika, and thank you Eve for sending Marika our way. That makes me feel so wonderful that you would recommend our group to your friend.
Marika, I can't tell you how happy I am that you joined our group. I look forward to getting to know you and you us. I believe this is a fun group, and even though we all come from different parts of the world our love of books and the authors that write them bring us close together.
Welcome to the group Tammy and Marika!! We have a great bunch of ladies here for you to get to know!! Have fun!!
I cannot contain my excitement, I got on GR a few years back but didn't utilized the site. I basically started fresh now and am discovering 'groups'. Linda Howard group is just too much of a sensory overload. I know everyone claims to be her biggest fan, I am an honest one. There are novels by Linda that I cry because of the joy they bring me and there are those that I feel weren't enough to put her signature on. But the respect I have for her writing and imagination, the way her stories envelope me (I would buy anything by LH) .... enough said. Great to be part of this group.
So happy to have new members in our small but cozy group.
Every month we read one book by Linda Howard as Book Of Month and discuss it here. We also read one Non-Linda Howard book each month. All books are nominated by the members, so please suggest and discuss books here.
Thank you Eve for welcoming our new members. You are right it is small but cozy.
I am so sorry Maira. I really thought I had sent out a welcome right after you joined our group.
Welcome to the group Maira!!!
Hi everyone, I just found out about this group as I am a new fan of Linda Howard - I can't stop reading her books, seriously! Please add me if you want to talk about her books or just books in general :)

I felt the same way when I discovered Linda Howard's books. She's one of the authors I love to reread and this place is right place to discuss her books with another Junkies.
Sofs, have you read White Lies?
White Lies is the Book of The Month under discussion, please drop by and leave your comment :)

Not yet! I'm currently reading Mr. Perfect, I'm only a few pages in and I've already laughed so much. I'll read White Lies afterward though!
Welcome to our little group Sofs. I think we have a great bunch of ladies, and that it is a fun little group. As far as reading the book of the months you have all month to read it, and just comment as little or as much as you want.

Oh, Mr. Perfect is one of my favorites. it wonderful book to reread when you want some good laugh. As its romantic suspense, then some really bad things will start to happen soon...so you want to cry together with the heroine.
But this book has some of the best bantering between the h/H I've ever read. Enjoy, Sofs!
I think you will like White Lies too. Its part of the Rescue series but its totally standalone book, so you can easily start with book #4 and you haven't missed anything.
Welcome Sofs!! Mr. Perfect is one of favorites, enjoy!!!

You will LOVE Mr. Perfect! This is my absolute favorite LH book!

I loved it so much! Do you guys have any suggestions about what I should read next?
I would suggest White Lies. We discuss this book in here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Another must-read book by Linda Howard: Open Season
I think that everyone who love Mr Perfect will love this one also. Hint: Lots of funny bantering between the h/H but also suspense and dangerous situations.
Generally I've liked most of Linda Howard work. So just go through her booklist, discover and enjoy :)

I am not sure where to begin.... Open Season, Kill and Tell, Dying to Please any of the Mackenzie series. Sarah's Child was good too. Oh and you must read To Die For and Drop Dead Gorgeous! You will love Blair Mallory!!!!
I have to agree with all of the above recommendations. I LOVED Open Season and the Mackenzie Series. White Lies is also good, well actually they all are.
I love her MacKenzie series, CIA series, Kell Sabin series, OMG...After the Night is AWESOME!! Open Season, Cry No More, Now You See Her, Death Angel, Shades of Twilight....so many great reads!!
I have been reading Linda's books for years but have not read any lately. I just found this group so I am inspired to start reading her books again. Several of her books are my favorites of hers but I must admit that Death Angel is probably my favorite. I also loved Cry No More and the Blair and Wyatt books.
Big welcome, Mary! So glad you found this group and hope you enjoy the discussions.
As it happens February's Book of the Month to read/discuss will be CRY NO MORE :)
Welcome to our little group, Mary. As Eve said I hope you enjoy our discussions and we look forward to getting to know you and you getting to know us.
Thank you for the welcome! I will be joining in the discussions. :-)
