Review: I had a few reservations when I started reading this book. While I love Linda Howard's more recent novels, some of her older stories tend to make me cringe - and not just because they're outdated.
Come Lie With Me is actually not so bad. While the title (and the cover) seem to hint at one of those stories with more sex than plot, it's not true. I did like the book.
The plot is actually there and fairly interesting, at least at first. Some parts are funny, while others are more serious. The only totally silly part is when Dione decides to seduce Blake to prove to him he's still a man with all functioning parts. That was unprofessional and uncalled for, and sort of ruined what could have been a perfect book otherwise.
Other than that, it's a good book to keep you entertained and works great as a summer read.
