I'll be the first to admit I adore Leslie Kelly's books. All of them. And quite frankly I'm running out of synonyms to express how terrific a writer she truly is.

SHE'S GOT THE LOOK is now my new favorite. It's a laugh out loud funny, sexy as all get out, plus it has a good mystery mixed in, too. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Out with friends one night and slightly drunk, Melody Tanner once made a list of five men she could sleep with no matter what. It was a joke. But now six years and one nasty divorce later, she comes back to Savannahs and finds out two out of the five on her old list are dead.

To make matters even more embarrassing, the number one hunk on her infamous list, Nick Walker, former Marine hero and cover of Time magazine, is the detective sent to question her about it.

I'm putting SHE'S GOT THE LOOK on a list, too. It is immediately going onto my top five best books ever list.

"She's Got the Look" is a great read full of humor and suspense. Melody Tanner is newly divorced and back home. Years ago she and her friends made a "men to do" list back before she was married and Melody thinks it's time to dust the list off, the only problem is that the men on her list keep dying. In comes Nick, number one on Melody's list, but the last one she really wants to "do" because she knows he could break her already broken heart. But Nick isn't budging, especially when it looks like Melody has a stalker. Wonderful journey to love. Read this book!

This is the first of her books I've read. It won't be the last. I will be looking for the book written before this one, She Drives Me Crazy, as well as anything else out there by Ms Kelly. I enjoyed the people in the book, found the second love story in the book as enjoyable the lead story.

I will be looking for more of her work. Thanks for the fun Ms Kelly.

I have been waiting for this book ever since reading She Drives Me Crazy (one of my favorite romance novels ever!) It did not disappoint. Nick Walker was every bit the wonderful hero his brother Johnny was, maybe with a little more edge and a little less charm. But still totally sexy.

The heroine and her friends sounded like women I know and left me wanting to read more about the four of them.

I am not a big mystery fan so having just a bit of a who done it was perfect for me. This is not a suspense novel and it is definitely not a chick lit, despite the cover. It's pure sexy contemporary romance novel. If you like Rachel Gibson, Julie Orloton, Susan Donovan, etc., give this one a try!

Leslie Kelly creates the kind of characters I don't want to leave. For me, that's the ultimate read-when I want to spend a little more time with these guys, or crave to see more of them in another book. Hint...hint. Or I absolutely need a few more laughs. Ms. Kelly hits the mark. The heroine, Melody, took me along with her, tugging me right out of my hectic, yet boring, little world and into an adventure where she falls for a HOT homicide detective.

The story was pure fun, engaging with just the right amount of mystery to keep me turning pages. I highly recommend SHE'S GOT THE LOOK

Mix well crafted chick lit with a mystery thrown in for good measure and you have She's Got The Look. This clever and funny novel features recently divorced Melody who returns to Savannah to start over again. A drunken joke years earlier catches up with her in a bizarre way when a list of the five men that she would most like to sleep with turns up and the men on the list start dying. Number 1 man on her fantasy list turns out to be the lead detective on the case. Throw in a stalker and dysfunctional relationships with her ex and her family and you have the makings of an enjoyable and believable read. Leslie Kelly does a great job of blending romance, tragedy, and humor and her characters are both likeable and believable.

I liked this book for its humor and the friendship between the heroine and her friends as much as for the main two characters. But my favorite moment in the whole thing was the viagra overdose. The weird deaths of the men on the heroine's "sex list" were a special perk over and above the terrific romance between the hero and the heroine.

`She's got the look' by Leslie Kelly is one of the best books I have read it quite sometime. This is funny, hot story with `keep you guess mystery.' Melody and her friends make a list of the men who that could sleep with - without quilt. When Melody finds herself divorced years later and the men on her list start dying things get weird. Her number one man is now a detective looking into the bizarre consequences. I have ordered `She Drives Me Crazy' by Leslie Kelly and I can wait for the next adventure.

On the night before her wedding, Melody and her bridesmaids each make a list of their "Men Most Wanted". While they are making the list, a Marine appears on the television who so grabs Melody's attention that she makes him #1 on her list. Now six years have passed and Melody, newly divorced from her cheating husband, is trying to start a new life for herself. But when men on Melody's list begin mysteriously dying, it looks like Melody may have a stalker.

One of Melody's best friends, and former bridesmaids, sets her up to meet with homicide detective Nick Walker about the situation. When she arrives at dinner, Melody is stunned to discover that Nick is the Marine from her list. Once he learns her name, Nick, who has accidently seen her list in the past, knows exactly who Melody is and his place on the list.A fact that makes Melody very uncomfortable, especially since she's so attracted to him. Now Nick has to protect Melody while trying to find her stalker. But the more time Nick spends with Melody, the more he finds himself falling in love with her, adding to his determination to protect her. Melody also finds herself falling for Nick, but she's afraid to jump into a new relationship. Once the problem with Melody's stalker is solved, can Nick convince her to take a chance on him and on love?

I have been looking forward to She's Got The Look since I read Leslie Kelly's She Drives Me Crazy. I found myself wishing that Nick and Melody had spent more time in Joyful, the town featured in She Drives Me Crazy, and also that there was a little more closure in this book with Nick's ex-wife Daneen. However, I was in no way disappointed. Nick was every bit the hot hero I expected, and Melody was the perfect heroine for him. Both are wounded from past relationships and never expect to find true love. Add to this an unknown stalker who puts in just the right touch of suspense, and Leslie Kelly delivers a sexy romp that I will most certainly be adding to my keeper shelf, right next to She Drives Me Crazy. I anxiously await the next offering by Leslie Kelly.

I thoroughly enjoyed Leslie Kelly's last book SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY, so I couldn't wait to read this one. It didn't disappoint. The heroine was funny and touching and I can't wait for Ms. Kelly's next book!
