Linda Howard Book Junkies discussion

My first Linda Howard book was Sarah's Child. I had been reading something else and at the back of the book were samples of other authors. I thought this story line sounded interesting. I was hooked and went to the library to read up all that I could! That Rome, he needed a smack to the head but there was also a lack of communication on both of their parts.

That is a good question. I don't remember, but whatever it was it sent me on a Linda Howard binge and I read a lot. I think it was about the time I joined Goodreads and discovered this group.

The first thing I read was a novelette, "Lake of Dreams." The first book was .

My first was Mackenzie's Mountain. The rest is history.

Dream Man may have been the next book after finishing the Mackenzies series.

Sarah's Child was the first one I read. But I didn't know it was a Linda Howard novel until after I read Dream Man and saw it listed with her other books.

I read Harlequin and Silhouette so I am sure my first LH book was when she wrote for those publishers..wish I could remember which title was that very first one! (If GoodReads had been available I could easily answer that question :)

It was one of her time travel books. I loved it.

I was in high school when I found a random copy of Dying to Please about 8 years back. It was in the "Reserved for Teachers" section but I took a risk and the librarian let me issue it. I loved it and added LH to my list of favorite writers which had been limited to Sidney Sheldon and JK Rowling till then. I began looking for more LH books in whichever bookshop I visited, and finally found To Die For which was my second LH book and I knew she would never disappoint me. :)

Mr. Perfect and I was HOOKED!!!!!

Open Season and then Mr. Perfect and I was hooked. So I began looking for more books by her. I've enjoyed most of them very much. She's one of those authors I can reread over and over again and never tire.

Oh yes! I can remember reading Mr. Perfect for the first time. I was traveling and my husband was at home and I would call him and say I think the killer is this person and then when I got to the end I had to say it was not who I thought. I had to reread to see where I missed it. That is a very good book!

My first book was Open Season , then I read After the Night and finally my friend told me to read Mr. Perfect . I was totally hooked. I started looking for all her books and even went on eBay to find some of the rarer books and that was it.

I really can't remember. All I remember is that when I worked at the library, her books were recommended to me and I got hooked.

It was a silhouette or harlequin book.

My first was Mackenzie's Mountain.

I am not sure if I read that one.

My first novel was .

I love questions like this! My first LH novel started a quest to get my hands on anything she wrote. This was THE one:



I loved the issues this couple had to face. To me the story was so well thought out and refreshingly realistic, especially the (view spoiler)[couple's "first time" that wasn't all that great from the virginal bride's perspective. (hide spoiler)] There was just enough humor and suspense, too. I just HAD to read more of her stuff!

I think I need to re-read this. It's been a few years. LOL!

I loved Duncan's Bride also. One of my fave scenes is when she fixes the chicken for him for supper. What piece is this?????

Loved that one too ! Lol

That is a good question Jodi! I think it was Open Season. I was at the library and was looking for an audio. I saw that one and just picked it up. I hadn't heard anything from her before so I picked it up. In all honesty, I think I got it and returned it a couple of times before I broke down and listened to it. I would start to listen to it and then I listened to the part with the sex slave and I put it down. I had lent one of my co-workers Open Season to listen to and later she said LH was one of her favorite authors. I finally listened to her, and I was hooked.

From there it was After the Night, Mackenzie's Mountain, Duncan's Bride.
