Mr. Perfect by Linda Howard

Wow another book! This book literally took me about a month to read; not because I didn't like it but because I always seemed to have something better to do such as look at the multitude of cat videos on the Internet. The whole premise of this book is pretty interesting: one day a group of four women are eating together when the topic of what a perfect man would be comes up. It starts out normal with the top things being loyalty and good looks but then turns into being about certain physical aspects of men. One of the women writes down this "List" and after that everything goes downhill for the group.

Their "List" ends up getting published and becomes a highly talked about bit for the newspaper and TV shows. It leads to a lot of men (and women) being resentful for the items on the "List", but one person takes action and murders one of the four which leads to a highly suspenseful tone for the remainder of the book.

The main reason it was such a good book is because Linda Howard was able to acheive a good balance of suspense, humor, and romance in the novel. The ending completely suprised me which I like because I hate predictable books.

I give it: 8/10
