Summary: A page turner, but not overly captivating
Review: It was certainly a page turner, I didn't want to put the book down - a compliment to the writers! However, I still felt a little disappointed. I felt Jamie's character was just a tad weak, they could have been built her up more. I couldn't get a clear picture of her in my head, that said - I have not read any other books in the series. Full Blast is too strong of a title, I kept on waiting to be swept away and the book to really take off (more fast paced) but it never happened. Entertaining, but hopefully future books will be stronger.

Summary: GREAT READ
Review: Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes continue the story of their romantic duo, Jamie and Max. I listened to the audio tapes while going to work and I found myself laughing the whole way. This is a great story and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Jamie is no Plum!
Review: Janet Evanovich has spoiled her readers with her Stephanie Plum Series in which the madcap bounty hunter never fails to amuse, amaze and entertain the reader. This series seems pale by comparison, starting with the tepid heroine, Jamie Swift, and her too-rich-to-be believable boyfriend, Max Holt. In this 4th. book of the series, Jamie's newspaper has just begun a want-ads section for the romantically-challenged. A murder occurs and a copy of the ads is found near the victim. The police immediately decide that the killer must be one of the men who put an ad in the paper. Jamie feels guilty because the ads were her idea, so she calls in the intrepid Max to help her solve the murder. It's amazing that he has the time to run a multi-million dollar corporation while chasing Jamie around her apartment and helping her put out the paper and solve a mystery. Of course, there is his car computer which talks and hands out advice, as well as a visiting psychic called Destiny, a dog named Fleas and..........are you beginning to get the picture? My advice is to skip this series and go to the Stephanie Plum books which are Vintage Evanovich.

Summary: WHAT IS WITH ALL THE BAD REVIEWS?!?
Review: OK people, get a little imagiation! I'm a highly mature teenager and probably too young to be reading this book, but hey. My mom read it first and i was kinda in need of something to read. I'm the kind of kid who reads somewhere between 3 and 10 books a week. Since all four books were lying around the house and i had nothing better to do, i picked them up. Okay, we get the point, you think it wasn't imaginative, or it was to cliche. I could see that, but the thing about a book isn't to have everything lying right there in front of you, you need to think a little and do what they call "annotating." Look it up. I think that it was smart and funny. Those of you who say that the characters were too predictable, I totally disagree. I could mention a hundred times when they did something unpredictable. And this is not from a kids stand point. If you are still thinking that, reread the first four lines of the review. Although the idea of Muffin, the talking computer is a little off base, she is meant to be the voice of reason in this series. For those of you reviewers who didn't like her, sit back and take a look at the story and try to imagine it without her. And the same goes for those of you who didn't like DeeDee. So, DeeDee is a little dramatic, and a little annoying. Get over it! It is things like DeeDee that make the story line what it is. Well, I'll stop rambling now and let you get back to your lives.

Summary: Full Blast: Hot Heat Wave
Review: Steamy! The heat is rising in this fourth book of the Full series, and everybody is cutting loose. I won't give away what happens with Jamie and Max, but in the process of solving a couple of murders, the whole town gets stimulated! Even Vera gets a convertable and lets her hair down. This is the most fun (...) book in the Full Series. Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes have realy hit their stride.

Summary: A Series Hitting Its Stride
Review: The Full series has been gradually improving since Full House, and it has really hit its stride with this edition. Full Blast is a fun, light book, which I really enjoyed reading. This is by far the best book of the series.

Summary: Disappointing effort from Evanovich
Review: This book managed to surpass the low quality of all the other 'full-' books after the first one. They've been steadily declining in quality, but this one was a significant step down. I hope Janet sticks to Stephanie Plum in the future.

Summary: Turn up the heat & slip into something comfortable...
Review: This description caught my eye yesterday while I was browsing for something to read while enjoying the day at the swimming pool. I could NOT put this book down until it was finished last night. All the characters in Full Blast are FUN! Destiny Moultrie blows into this small South Carolina town and you can bet that things will never be the same again. See...she's a psychic, who is followed by Ronnie, a spirit trapped between worlds. Eyebrows are raised when Destiny carries on conversations with Ronnie and will have you laughing. Everyone is skeptical at first when she tells of "visions" that women will die, but her visions come to life and it's up to Destiny, Jamie and Max to find the killer before he strikes again. Full Blast is a perfect combination of comedy, mystery and steam! Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop.

Summary: Fun Blast of a Heat Wave
Review: This is the fourth book in the FULL series, and like the Stephanie Plum series, you do not need to read the others to enjoy it. Start here (it is the best of the series yet) and then if it suits you, go back and read the other books, starting with Full House. This book takes place in the south, and combines a sexy humor with a mystery about who is killing the local citizens of Beaumont. It includes Millionaire boy genious Max Holt and Jamey Swift, owner of the local newspaper, as they deal with the sultry weather, and the sizzling effect it is having on all the zany citizens. Dee Dee Fontana, an aging Beauty Queen is having a baby, and Vera the spinster mother-figure starts letting her hair down. A sexy psychic with her red neck ghost adds to the mix, as do a paper full of possible suspects. You will never guess who done it, but this is mostly about fun and sex, and not a heavy duty mystery. Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes have teamed up on this series and with Full Blast, it is evident that this is a team to be watched! I am looking forward to the continued evolution of this series.
