Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Jaine Bright and three close friends share dinner one night and during casual conversation, create a list of qualifications for Mr Perfect--some logical, some hilariously funny, some racy. Within days, their tongue-in-cheek wish list of attributes for the perfect man has been leaked to the press and the resultant publicity is overwhelming. Coworkers, TV crews and reporters barrage the quartet with comments and criticism.

As if Jaine doesn't have enough to cope with, she has a new neighbour who she suspects is a criminal. She's relieved to learn that her neighbour is really an undercover cop, but she's still wary--because smart, sexy Sam Donovan handles her sharp witticisms with easy humour, and Jaine suspects that he may threaten her heart. What Jaine doesn't know is that she's about to need Sam desperately for something other than romance because her circle of friends is in big trouble. Unfortunately, that list of qualifications for Mr Perfect has touched off a madman's rage. All of their lives are threatened and some of them are going to die, maybe all of them, if Sam can't stop the unknown killer.

Mr Perfect brings to readers the quintessential Linda Howard hero, whose straightforward, "me Tarzan, you Jane" attitude plays well with a smart, witty heroine. The rapid-fire dialogue between the two is downright hilarious at times, even when the two are about to steam up the windows and burn up the sheets. It's difficult to balance this kind of humour and sensuality with edgy suspense, but Howard manages it with aplomb. If you enjoyed Heart of Fire and Dream Man, you're going to love this latest novel. It's drop-dead wonderful. --Lois Faye Dyer, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Linda Howard's new chilling and darkly sensual new novel; What would make your perfect man? That's the delicious topic heating up the proceedings at a certain table of professional women at their favourite restaurant. As the conversation picks up momentum, so do the quartet's requirements for Mr Perfect. And they write down a tongue-in-cheek list that's both funny and racy. The next thing Jaine Bright and her three girlfriends know the List becomes an overnight sensation, grabbing the interest of local newspapers and television coverage. No one expected this avalanche of attention for something that began as a joke among friends. But the joke turns deadly serious when one of the four is murdered...The prime suspect in the case is the victim's boyfriend, one of a number of men who found the List sexist and offensive. But an impenetrable alibi gets him off the hook. Now, with the help of Jaine's neighbour, an unpredictable police detective, the puzzle must be solved - and time is running out as a deadly stalker targets the three remaining friends, and the dream of Mr Perfect becomes a chilling nightmare. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny & Sexy Read, 14 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mr Perfect (Paperback)
I read this on an aeroplane over the Atlantic and it was hard not to laugh out loud at some of it. A funny, witty heroine and a tough and confident guy make a good partnership in a book which has humour, romance, suspense and sex. It was the best light hearted book I have read in ages and my first introduction to this author. The women is how most of us girls like to think we are and the guy we wish we could meet, who is not threatened or put off by a confident, sexy, modern woman. Recommended if you like sexy romances with a touch of suspense but not if you are a prude!

This review is from: Mr Perfect (Paperback)
I have read all Linda Howard's books, and I was not dissappointed with this book. Jainie and her three friends make a list of their idea of the perfect man, which is accidently published in the newspaper,then on TV and internet. A killer stalks the four friends killing them one by one... A very sexy , funny and a good twist to the end, book Well recommended read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Perfect is perfect, 14 Feb 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Linda Howard scores a one, two knock out with this spicy thriller!! *****GOLD

Four ladies work at a company dominated by men, and so every Friday night after work they meet for supper and girl-talk. This particular Friday, men - or rather the lack of Good Men - leads the four into creating a list of their idea man.

Marcia is a forty-something with three failed marriages behind her. She loves men, their company and sex, so is currently living with an out of work Brick. TJ, thirty-something, is married to the childhood sweetheart who is likely having an affair. She wants a child, but he refuses. Beautiful Luna, twenty-something is head over heels in love with a heel, a NFL
quarterback who likes parties and women too much. And razor-shape mind and tongued Jaine, thirty-something, and a veteran of three failed engagements.

So over a few drinks, they come up with a list of all the qualities of the perfect man, like faithfulness, honesty and something that says size DOES matter!! Naturally, later a tipsy Marcie shows another woman at work The List, and suddenly it is on the bulletin board, going through emails, and then the news local and national are picking up it.

And the men around these ladies are not happy campers. One man in particular is very upset.

Janie is furious with Marcie, but has other things in her life to worry about. She just bought a new house, her mother and father are away on a vacation of a lifetime - her mother leaving precious BooBoo kitty and her father his precious Shelby (car for all you non babyboomers). BooBoo kitty is shredding the couch cushions, her sister Shelly is mad because Mum left Jaine the cat, and her brother David is mad at her because Dad left the Ford Cobra with little sister!! To top matters off, she think the next door neighbour is a drunk or a drug dealer, for he drive a POS pontiac with a busted muffler, comes in at all hours and looks dangerous - and he walks around nude in the kitchen drinking juice !! Worse, she just backed over his trashcans!!

Jaine learns Sam is not a drug dealer, but a cop and she has to admit, it did not take her a long time to get the phone number from the neighbour so she could call him to tell him to lower his window shade....

As The List brings them national attention, and a possible book deal, TJ's marriage falls apart, Brick, surprisingly hurt since he does not measure up, leaves Marcie and Luna tells her football hero to take his job and shove it. Only Jaine seems to be having the bright side of romance.

But there is someone who takes The List as a personal insult and intends to see the four pay. Marcie realises this too late, when she opened her front door...
