BURN
by
Linda Howard
Ballantine Books
New Release July 2009
Hardcover
Jenner Redwine works in a meat packing plant and has a deadbeat boyfriend who spends more time at her place than he does at his own.
Jenner is fed up with paying for his beer and munchies. She decides while standing in an uber long line due to an expected mega-large lottery jackpot that if the guy didn't have the cash for the beer when she got home it would be "hasta la vista". She also decided to buy some lottery tickets while waiting in that long line.
Jenner was an intelligent woman and when she won the lottery she didn't tell anyone until she had made sure the money would be safe.
Seven years later Jenner is on a charity cruise. Her best friend has been kidnapped and Jenner must cooperate if she wants her friend to remain unharmed.
Once again Linda Howard has created unforgettable characters. Her Heroes are enough to cause the polar ice caps to melt, without any aid from global warming.
Lady Mischief buys very few hardcovers, read the sidebar for better understanding, but Linda Howard is on the Must Buy The Moment It Comes Out List.
Burn lives up to the rest of Ms. Howard's fine catalogue.
If you think you are ever going to win the lottery or come into some major money this book is a fine primer in how to handle the money and the instant fame.
In addition the book is a fine action/adventure story with a fun love story.
