Drop Dead Gorgeous by Linda Howard

Dear Wyatt,
Here is my list of your transgressions:
- You don't just leave a woman for years and explain to her it's because she's 'high maintenance'. Maybe she is, in that case you have no business being in a relationship with her.
- You don't lock the woman you love for hours in a patrol car! You don't talk to her. You tell people not to talk to her... A relationship can't be built upon declarations of love alone, you need to trust and respect her too.
- And when she says someone is trying to kill her, you don't need to "waste" your precious cop resources on her. All you need to do is at the very least consider what she says if not take her seriously, because, well, maybe her life is on the line.
- Stop thinking everything can be solved with sex. Yes, you're a man, but it only fixes things in the surface and doesn't fix the root of the issue.

Blair was hilarious. Her train of thought was all over the place and she thought of the oddest things. I really liked the gum and notes on the window bit. That was priceless :)
One issue I had was that in her mind she was holding a grudge, and that she isn't ready to forgive yet etc. It really frustrated me when she let it all go. I was hoping for some passionate arguments but it never really happened. Maybe LH didn't go there because this was supposed to be fluffy and funny but in light of the seriousness of the situation, I would rather all the build up was for something to actually blow up, all fiery and explosive, but instead, it just sizzled out.
Wyatt I had a love/hate relationship with. Suffice it to say that just when warm up to him he did something to mess it up. I don't think he was nearly apologetic enough at the end.
But loved that we finally got the recipe for the bread pudding. :D When she talked about it is the last book it made me wish for the recipe.
Already guessed the identity of the killer early on. I kind of wished it was a bit harder as it can be fun guessing their identity. Still, it was no big deal as I didn't really read this book for the mystery. I wish there were more books, that this is the second and last makes me sad. :(
