AUDIOGALS’ REVIEWS OF LINDA HOWARD
The Woman Left Behind by Linda Howard
June 26, 2018
Narration: B+Story: B+Reviewer: BJPublisher: Harper Audio
Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld Lovers of action/suspense romance will be excited by the special ops background and deep seated romantic tension in The Woman Left Behind. Although the central focus of this story is on the individual characters and their personal growth and mutual attraction, there is enough of a shadow of an action and suspense ...
Read moreTroublemaker by Linda Howard
June 14, 2016
Narration: BStory: BReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Harper Audio
Narrated by Tanya Eby Linda Howard is back with Troublemaker, another romantic suspense complete with paramilitary alpha hero on the run and small-town police chief heroine guarding her heart. After Morgan Yancy is shot in front of his home while off-duty, his boss sets up a trap for the killers by asking his stepsister in West ...
Read moreWhite Lies by Linda Howard
March 30, 2016
Narration: BStory: B-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Dreamscape Audio
Narrated by Lesa Lockford First published in 1988, White Lies is the fourth book in Linda Howard’s much-loved Kell Sabin series. I read it in about 2010 and I thought it was a bit dated then. Suffice to say that nearly six years (and consequent technological advancement) hasn’t improved the situation. White Lies was written pre-DNA and ...
Read moreTo Die For by Linda Howard
January 20, 2016
Narration: CStory: A+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Brilliance Audio
Narrated by Franette Liebow Here’s my review from the print version in 2008: Oh. My. God. OMIGAWD!! My new all-time favorite novel!! Omigawd I LOVED THIS BOOK!! 10 stars out of 5 – Desert Isle Keeper. This is the first book that I’ve laughed out loud almost every other page. I had to put the book down several times, ...
Read moreDuncan’s Bride by Linda Howard
September 8, 2015
Narration: BStory: BReviewer: BrendaPublisher: Dreamscape Audio
Narrated by Lesa Lockford Duncan’s Bride is the tale of an isolated Montana rancher searching for a wife – an interesting 1990’s twist on the mail order bride scenario. I mention 1990 (the original publication date) to help explain our overbearing hero. I’ll tell you upfront he’s an alpha ***hat as only Linda Howard can write ...
Read moreOverload by Linda Howard
June 19, 2015
Narration: B+Story: CReviewer: CarriePublisher: Dreamscape Audio
Narrated by Lesa Lockford At just under three hours, Overload is perfect for a quick vintage Linda Howard fix. But if you’re looking for anything with a plot, then pass this one by. There is little character development, and the plot is as follows: Tom and Elizabeth used to date. She broke it off because he ...
Read moreDiamond Bay by Linda Howard
June 4, 2014
Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: MeganPublisher: Dreamscape Audio
Narrated by Brenda Sweeney Linda Howard’s Diamond Bay (Book 2 in the Rescues series) is one of my favorite re-reads of that 1980s escapist vintage. Listeners who have been waiting for this in audio: take heart. Brenda Sweeney’s narration does justice to this comfort read. Kell Sabin is a seminal alpha hero. His character is a precursor to Howard’s ...
Read moreShadow Woman by Linda Howard
February 27, 2014
Narration: AStory: AReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Random House Audio
Narrated by Carrington MacDuffie Shadow Woman is in the vein of Linda Howard’s more recent romantic suspense novels, with a heavy emphasis on the suspense that almost supersedes the romance. The prologue introduces us to the horrific murder of the President of the United States by his wife, witnessed by a Secret Service agent who loses her ...
Read moreAll the Queen’s Men by Linda Howard
January 21, 2013
Narration: AStory: AReviewer: MelindaPublisher: Simon & Schuster
Narrated by Kate Forbes This is classic LH romantic suspense and features one of her best RS heroes ever – the elusive John Medina. John is a sort of a Gray Ghost of LH’s RS world, too mysterious to pin down, too many names and personas. When he does fall, he falls hard. His heroine is ...
Read moreRunning Wild by Linda Howard & Linda Jones
December 18, 2012
Narration: B+Story: A-Reviewer: LeaPublisher: Random House Audio
Narrated by Maggie Wheeler Trying a new narrator with a favorite author’s book is a chancy proposition for me and one I don’t often pursue without a lot of assurances from my romance audio friends. But when Brenda uncovered the little known fact that Maggie Wheeler is none other than Chandler’s obnoxious girlfriend, Janice, from Friends, ...
Read moreAfter the Night by Linda Howard
November 28, 2012
Narration: AStory: AReviewer: Lea, Brenda and MelindaPublisher: Brilliance Audio
All three Gals discussed After the Night as part of our Three Gals Talking: Three Gal Favorites event. We’re extracting our talk and making it into a formal review for easy reference in the future. Narrated by Natalie Ross Melinda: Where our tastes match, we are in 100% agreement – take Linda Howard’s After the Night with Natalie Ross’ incomparable narration ...
Read moreMr. Perfect by Linda Howard
September 27, 2012
Narration: AStory: A+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Simon & Schuster
Narrated by Laura Hicks Perfect pretty much describes this wonderful story in audio! Linda Howard’s story is a perfect blend of suspense and humor in a romance novel and Laura Hicks’s character voices are absolutely perfect as well. When Laura reads Jaine, the heroine (“It was supposed to be Janine,” Jaine tells Sam, but they left ...

September 16, 2012
Romsusp; hunky alpha hero, slight PNR; DIK. Narration: Phil Gigante’s men = drool-worthy; his women = not. Still great.

September 9, 2012
Romsusp set in NOLA, great! More LH alpha-ness Narration: Natalie Ross is one of the best.
Read moreThe Cutting Edge by Linda Howard
September 4, 2012
Narration: AStory: C-Reviewer: BrendaPublisher: Dreamscape Audio
Narrated by Lesa Lockford Linda Howard wrote several books early in her career in which I find the heroes define the word Troglodyte = a person characterized by outmoded or reactionary attitudes with heroines who put up with them and actually fall in love with them instead of sweeping them out the door. With the recent release of The ...

Mr. Perfect was my first Linda Howard book. I’ve read all of them and this one and Open Season are still my favorite.
I’m a big fan of the abridged Open Season narrated by Kate Forbes – it’s probably the only abridged audiobook I’ve ever recommended!
