Open Season

By: Linda Howard

Narrated by: Kate Forbes

Seamlessly blending heart-pounding romance and breathless intrigue, New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard writes a masterful, stylish, and provocative suspense novel that absolutely defies readers to put it down.

Daisy Minor is bored. Worse than that, she's boring. A plain, small-town librarian, she's got a wardrobe as sexy as a dictionary and hasn't been on a date in years. She's never even had a lukewarm love affair, let alone a hot one. So when she wakes up on her thirty-fourth birthday, still living with her widowed mom and spinster aunt, she decides it's time to get a life.

But can a lifelong good girl turn bad? No, not exactly.

But she can pretend, right?

One makeover later, Daisy has transformed herself into a party girl extraordinaire. She's letting her hair down, dancing the night away at clubs, and laughing and flirting with men for the first time in, well, ever. With a new lease on her own place and her life, it's open season for man-hunting.

But on her way home late one night, Daisy sees something she's not supposed to see. Suddenly the target of a killer, she's forced to put her manhunt on hold. But the very moment she stops looking might be the moment she finds what she's wanted all along. Trouble is, before he can share her life, he might just have to save it.©2001 Linda Howington.

Fun Romp

Linda Howard always writes a good, hot story. It's hard to believe that a woman would wait until her thrties for romance but other than that, the story was a lot of fun.

When you need a lift...this is a fun story

I've read this book in hard copy, I've even managed to find an unabridged library copy of the audiobook and yes the abridged version is not as good, but still it'll give you a lift. It's just fun read. If I have a really down day or read something that's heavy, or simply ends sad this book is a great way to perk up your day. For me, Linda Howard is my number one "must read". Open Season is not her best, not her most touching, not her best mystery (since there really isn't any mystery to mention in it) but it has to be something she wrote when she was having a really good day. If you need a lift, Daisy and Jack are good way to start.

one of the best!

I love Linda Howard, and have this book in paper, but needed a copy to take with, and this one is it! Linda Howard is an author you can buy without knowing anything about the story. She never disappoints, and even though this is an abridged version and I miss a couple parts from the original, the rest is so good it's worth it! The narrator is FABULOUS, and I'm looking for any other books she's read. She's wonderful here, laugh out loud funny, and her voice is like an instrument she definitely knows how to play. If they can get her and do Open Season again unabridged, I'll buy that one too!

Cute and Witty

I agree, good listen, i would love to hear the unabridged version. but with that said this is one of the best short versions i have listened to, definately some funny witty commentary..some laugh out louds. loved the characters and the storyline and the narration. overall 2 thumbs up. definately worth the inexpensive price

Totally entertaining

Good story with interesting characters. I enjoyed the development of the story and the mystery was interesting and believable.
