Book Description

Series: Author Spotlight | Publication Date: August 1, 2004

From The Back Cover:

She's got TV ratingts--and legs--to die for!

KILLING TIME IN A SMALL TOWN describes how bad boy Mick Winchester has been feeling about his life lately--until a reality TV show by that name rolls into his hometown. And the producer is none other than Caroline Lamb...Mick's college sweetheart and his one true love. But gone is the sweet Southern girl with big-city dreams. This Caroline is a Hollywood hotshot--all wrapped up in a thousand-dollar power suit and killer spike heels.

Caroline isn't the barracuda she pretends to be--she's just desperate to make her murder-mystery reality show a hit. And when a real corpse turns up on the set, the network bosses are ecstatic. Think of the ratings! But actual murder is way too much reality--even for Caroline. Especially when getting real with Mick is all that really matters.

When I'm not chained to my keyboard writing, I'm enjoying my life with my husband of 25 years and our three daughters. Let me tell you, raising three girls has been way more challenging than publishing romance fiction!

I write sexy novels for Harlequin, and also write dark romantic thrillers under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish. Check out my websites, www.lesliekelly.com and www.authorleslieparrish.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Killing Time is another awesome Must read from Leslie Kelly, August 8, 2004

I believe Leslie Kelly is one of the very funniest writers I've ever had to pleasure of reading. Her latest book KILLING TIME reaffirms that declaration. It is a very funny book. No, in fact, it's hysterical. I laughed out loud a lot.
From the very first line in the book, "Drop your pants," I was hooked.

I love Mick Winchester, bad boy extraordinaire, and only Caro Lamb, a long lost college sweetheart from Mick's past could even attempt to tame him. The scenes with Mick and Caro together are steamy, sexy and satisfying. Leslie knows exactly how to accelerate and maintain the angst between her hero and heroine.

The reality television concept set in a small town is very funny, lending itself to all sorts of interesting characters and situations. Also the imagery in KILLING TIME is incredible. I feel like I'm standing in the room with the characters as Leslie weaves the story around me. It is sexy and touching and funny and even has an excellent mystery woven in to boot.

I always try to savor Leslie's books when I get them, but I end up tearing through them ignoring all around me until I'm finished. KILLING TIME is no exception. It is the very definition of engaging. I couldn't put it down until I found out who-done-it.

Leslie Kelly is a Must read author and KILLING TIME is most assuredly a Must read book. Thanks Leslie for yet another awesome read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killing Time Has It All!, October 13, 2004

By 

Pennsylvania Pat (Carlisle PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Killing Time (Mass Market Paperback)

You can always count on Ms. Kelly for a funny, sexy read. KILLING TIME is vintage Kelly with killing one liners, riotous situations and love scenes to die for.

Than for icing on the cake, Ms. Kelly tosses in a whodunit. Had me guessing until the last pages when the real life killer is revealed.

Murder Games in a small town would make such a funny reality show in real life, this reader can only hope that some network exec. reads Killing Time and gets a bug in his/her bonnet.

Highly recommended by,

Pennsylvania Pat!
