I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As most of LInda Howards books are, very interesting and they hold your attention. It is a bit "spicy" in spots. The last couple of chapters were very exciting. Kept you guessing what was going to happen. I also like it because I consider it an "easy read". Meaning it is not a book that you have to be all alone, by yourself, to keep your attention. I recommend it highly.

This book was just plain fun. Winning the lottery is almost everyone's favorite fantasy, and she made us understand what can happen when you do, mixed in with some great romance,an arrogant hero and a heroine who can hold her own. This book is not my favorite of hers, but it is in the top five, and since I have all her books, that is saying something.

I enjoyed the premise of the book. A huge lottery winner takes a cruise and the mystery begins. Linda Howard holds your attention and writes consistent page turners. I also enjoy the books I read by Linda Howard.

I have most of the Linda Howard books and this was one I didn't have yet. The seller sent out the book right away and I received it in a very timely manor.
