Typical of the good Linda Howard. Some of her stuff is just blah, but this one was a very good read. For some reason the sex in her books seems a bit more earthy then in some others, but it is not too crude. Anyway, a very pleasant read, and will probably be in my ok to reread file as well. I still think I like her book that was set on a cruse ship better, but I might decide later to change my opinion
