Summary: corruption, greed, and a little romance...........
Review: Jamie Swift is a newspaper editor who has decided to secretly pursue an investigation into the possible corruption of a well known minister. Max Holt is trying to help track down and send to prison a criminal boss. When Max and Jamie's paths cross, they fail to realize the implications, both to their investigations and to each other. This is a fun tale of intrigue, greed, corruption and possible romance.
While several people have been disappointed that this is not like Stephanie Plum, well, they are right, but then again it was not meant to be. This is a fun book in it's own right and can be enjoyed on it's own merits.

Summary: A talking car? Haven't we seen this before?
Review: Sure wish someone had warned me there was a talking, thinking car filled with the emotions of a woman going through menopause. What a load! I bought this book because I had heard good things about this writer. Maybe her other books are better but I'll never know. I could not finish this book. They may as well called the car KITT and had David Hasselhoff on the cover. No idea how the story ended. It was just too corny.

Summary: Disappointing to a Plum Fan

Summary: Full Speed is a Fast Read
Review: This Book is a comedy and a mystery, and I read it all in one night!. While that makes it great leisure reading, there is more adventure and comedy than mystery, as the villain is obvious half way through the book (in to the Nines it was even easier to spot). But Janet Evanovich's humor is great, and I laughed out loud several times, as always. The sweet burgeoning romance between Jamie and Max is becoming more compelling. While I must say that Jamie seemed a bit weak and emotional in the earlier books of the Full series, she holds her own with Max in this one. I loved fleas, the bloodhound, and enjoyed the neurotic side kick for Max. This is the best book yet in the full series, but for readers who don't like the violence, the ending is a bit rougher than other of Janet's novels. I am looking forward to Full Blast, and recommend Full Tilt to all who have not read it.

Summary: Very Pedestrian
Review: This book is almost a waste of time. There is very little plot, very little character development, and the romantic scenes between Jamie and Max lack any kind of believable sexual tension or romance, for that matter. I definitely disagree that this book was better than the first two. In no way, shape or form does the humor in this book match that in Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. In those books, the humor flows from one scene to the other. In this book there are only brief snippets and most of them concern Fleas, the bloodhound Jamie "buys". Any reader of Evanovich could probably pick out the few scenes she worked on. The plot is almost abysmally simple and cliched - Max and Jamie are trying to get the goods on a shady preacher, Max doesn't want Jamie to come along so that she doesn't get hurt, Jamie plays intrepid girl reporter trying to get her "big story", a mobster is blackmailing/controlling the preacher, a murder occurs, yadda yadda yadda. We've been there, done that in too many books, and there's no new twist on it in this one. By the end of this book, I just found Jamie to be annoying and the scenes of "sexus interruptus" way too predictable and frequent. In this book, Jamie and Max are totally one-note characters lacking any kind of personal depth - if you didn't read the earlier books I don't think that you would care at all what happens to the characters. The secondary characters - the mobster, the preacher, and the sidekick - are all very stereotypical. You know it's bad when you're reading a story and you're rewriting the characters in your mind to make them more interesting. I've always bought Evanovich's and Hughes' separate books and have enjoyed them. I'll probably continue to do so. I doubt, though, that I'll buy anymore of their Jamie Swift/Max Holt collaborations - I'm just not interested anymore.

Summary: Full of something................
Review: This book was horrid. Janet Evanovich is ruining her reputation lending her name to this rubbish. She should concentrate on her wonderful Stephanie Plum novels!

Summary: No Time to Catch Your Breath
Review: This book, the third in Janet Evanovich's other series, is a fast paced, fun frolic! Max Holt, who is grown and gorgeous in Full Tilt, goes after the preacher whom he believes hired the hitmen he has been dodging. Jamie comes along for a story depite his efforts to "lose" her. The resulting hijinx is a page turner and a delightful romp in the Tennessee mountains. Janet and Charlotte Hughes are collaborating on these and this is their best book yet. I liked Charlotte when she wrote for MIRA and loved Janet's Stephanie Plum series. Don't miss this one, and you'll be glad you you got it!

Summary: Better than the first two in the series...
Review: This is a step up from the first two books in this series, which were...well..not too great. Much more of Janet Evanovich's voice comes through (resembling the Stephanie Plum series.) While the depth factor here is still rather low, this is a fast read. I bought it at the airport and it sufficed for a full day of travel and flight delays.
