LauraD’s review of Death Angel by Linda Howard Romantic suspense released by Ballantine 1 Jul 08 Linda Howard’s last hardcover release was more mountain survival guide than romance, so I had some trepidation about buying her latest before the Big Box store had time to put their new release discount stamp on it.
