Blair Mallory lives the good life. She’s pretty, confident, and the owner of a thriving up-scale fitness center. But in the shadow of success, a troubled member of the club develops a strange fixation on Blair, imitating her style and dress. Matters take a darker turn when the look-alike is shot dead—and Blair witnesses the horror.
As the media speculates on the tawdry details of the homicide and pushes Blair into the harsh spotlight, she locks horns with police lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth. He wants to lead an investigation without interference, while Blair is determined to probe the dead woman’s life on her own. But when someone begins to menace Blair with mounting threats, Wyatt takes notice: Was this murder indeed a lethal case of mistaken identity—and was Blair the intended victim?

"I think Blair Mallory is that girl from school you either love or hate because of her personality. I for one loved her. She was smart and witty and knew when to use what's within her reach. The mystery wasn't that big or even well thought of, an I was in it for Blair."

— Maggie, 2/6/2014" bener..bener To Die For nih buku....TOP dah, ketawa ngakak sekenceng-kencengnya pas baca kesintingan Blair...buku yang bener2 direkomendasikan buat Refreshing "
— Dewi, 2/2/2014" So funny. I love the way Linda wrote this book. She is one of my favorite authors. "
— Lisa, 1/30/2014" I thought this book was just a fluff romance. There was no substance in the story or the characters. In fact the two main characters should have been Cheerleader Barbie and Chauvinist cop Ken. When there's sex in every chapter, I get bored. "
— Dana, 1/27/2014" another fast read! you have to read drop dead georeous next! "
— Jennifer, 1/21/2014" Just finished this up today. I went into it thinking that it would be more mystery than anything else, but it was ultimately just a romance novel. Which was okay, but there were things about the main character that truly annoyed the crap out of me. Perhaps most of that had to do with the narrator's voice. The majority of the time she narrated, she talked in this warbly, half crying, whiny, pouty tone. And since the story was told from the protagonist's POV, it affected her likability .. and not in a good way. She did the other voices just fine though. Perhaps I would have felt differently if I'd read the book rather than listened to it. The mystery part of it wasn't that difficult. I figured out early on who was behind the main goings-on. Still, the writing was quirky enough to warrant a second go-around by checking out the sequel. Perhaps they've changed narrators. For the better, I hope! "
— Cyneva, 1/21/2014" Amazing! I loved it, every bit. Though the ending was abrupt and a bit lame but still, definitely a favorite <3 "
— May, 1/14/2014" just amazing!! "

— Cindy, 10/16/2013" Definitely one of Howard's best. I LOVED Blair! She was so southern and funny. I laughed, giggled and smiled the whole time I was reading this book! "
— Mei, 8/11/2013" First PErson - very interesting and interesting characters perspective. "
— Beth, 6/9/2013" Suprisingly funny! I thought I was going to get another serious romantic thriller in the vein of "Cry No More," but this novel was pleasantly engaging and light-hearted. "
— Caeasso, 1/18/2013" After about 10 pages in, I realized that I had read this one a few years ago. If you are looking for a light fun read this is it. It is a cute story and has a couple with great chemistry. "
— Darcy, 1/12/2013" Not the typical "romance" novel, I think this falls under the category of "romantic suspense." I just appreciated the sassiness of the heroine of the book, Blair Mallory. More funny than suspenseful, but well worth it when you feel like reading something fluffy. "
— Ann, 9/24/2012" Great beach read. Funny, too! "
— Stacy, 9/5/2012" Interesting take on the dumb blonde stereotype. Don't think I'll read the rest of the series. "
— Eileen, 8/14/2012" It's funny, sensual and not as predictable as most romance books. I promise you that you won't put that book down and that you will probably re-read it at least once. A great SUMMER read. "
— Amna, 1/12/2012" All I can say is: I haven't read a book by Linda Howard that I didn't enjoy. All of her books are wonderful! "
— Ginger, 12/10/2011" Both of the books in this series are fun, sexy quick reads "
— Cara, 9/23/2011" Yes, another sexy alert book. I like the style of writing. When I read this book and its sequel, I wished she would have given us a few more stories. "
— Kathi, 9/18/2011" Written in first person. When reading it, I couldn't help but think of chick lit. "
— Lilmissmolly, 7/5/2011" Reread, 9/30/12. I forgot how much I enjoyed this book. When LH is o. Her game, she's so on her game. "
— Norma, 6/22/2011" Enjoying this different style of writing of Linda's "
— Heather, 5/20/2011" I am listening to this audio book. So far it is a fun story with humor and a little drama. "
— Kristy, 4/22/2011" An amusing light read. One of the other reviewers mentioned that she didn't like Blair and it ruined the book for her. I don't think I would like her if I met her but she is funny and I enjoyed the story. My review for the second book would be much the same. "
— Susan, 4/11/2011" I actually listened to this book and the reader was great. Blair is so funny and witty. "
— Aixa, 4/5/2011" All I can say is: I haven't read a book by Linda Howard that I didn't enjoy. All of her books are wonderful! "
— Ginger, 4/2/2011" Why I was so anxious to read this I don't know!! It was pretty dull. Too much sex and romance and not even intrigue. Will not anymore of these books!! "
— Anna, 3/27/2011" Clever and funny. Truly enjoyed every page! "
— Heather, 3/23/2011" LOVE LOVE this book! Ive read it multiple times "

— Season, 1/9/2011" great book.. couldn't put it down!! excellent story.. kept you guessing right till the end! "
— Carla, 12/14/2010" Cette Blair, non mais quelle cruche! Du moins en apparence... J'ai bien aimé le ton général: grâce à l'auteur, on peut effectivement entrer dans la tête d'une blonde de cliché qui joue des apparences pour mieux tromper son monde. Amusant mais pas transcendant. "
— La, 11/26/2010" Although being set in modern times and having a rather healthy premarital sex life, I enjoyed the mystery plot and the characters. I appreciated that the sex was no described in much detail! "
