Summary: Have a hard time believing she really wrote this...
Review: This book is a collaboration with one of Janet's friends, and I have a hard time believing that Janet actually had much to do with the writing of this book! It starts out as a VERY cheesy romance (hey, I'm an avid reader and have been known to read a few romance novels) novel and it's just awful. The second half of the book picks up a bit of speed and becomes slightly more interesting, but then at the ending the speed is so fast you can barely keep up. It was as if the authors decided they'd better make this all a little more "Stephanie Plum" to keep the readers interested in the "Full -" series, and... it just made no sense.Of course I bought Full Tilt (the 2nd in this series) at the same time, so I had to read that one. That one was a touch better, but I'll review it seperately (; In conclusion, if you loooove Stephanie Plum, um... don't read these just because you feel loyal to Janet, like I did.

Summary: Ouch! A clunker from the otherwise-sharp Evanovich
Review: Having just finished all 8 in the Stephanie Plum series, I grabbed this Evanovich novel, hungry for more of the good stuff that makes those books such page-turners. Was I disappointed! Cardboard characters, cliche-riddled dialogue, far-fetched yet predictable plot. I am not sure if this book preceded the Plum novels - if so, the author has definitely improved over time. I'm sticking with the Plum novels from now on, and so should Janet Evanovich.

Summary: Our Bookclub LOVES this one...
Review: We all had to agree, it was funny, twisted, and romantic, but most of all it was just a great and easy read. It was refreshing to read something that you just knew had to end as bizzarre as it started. It was hilarous..... we may read it again next year. I believe we will "laugh-out-loud" at this one for a long time.

Summary: Full House
Review: Definitely not up to the standard of the Stephanie Plum novels. Very disappointing.

Summary: Not Plum, but an easy, enjoyable read
Review: I am the typical Evanovich fan. I will read practically anything with her name on it and so I wanted to try some of her older stuff. This definitely was not a "Plum" novel, but it was a lighthearted, easy read. I didn't find myself laughing out loud very much as I sometimes laugh to tears at Stephanie's escapades, but it did leave you with a good feeling in the end.

Summary: An interesting read, but not the usual Janet
Review: Picked up this book on the spur of the moment finding Janet Evanovich's books a must light read. For those seeking a fix before the next full length Stephanie Plum novel, this might not be the best choice. The tale is certainly light enough with divorced mother of two Annie finding love and excitement with handsome Nick. The story moves quickly with usual red herrings. But certain characters seemed more paper-doll cutouts. Overall, a definite library checkout or purchase for a hefty discount only read.

Summary: we've been swindled!
Review: I want my money back! This isn't a new Evanovich novel, it's recycled garbage! This book wasn't even good enough to be a Harlequin the first time it came out - it was a Silouette - and now that Evanovich is fanous for her Stephanie Plum novels, they've recycled this piece of dreck to capitalize off of her reputation. I have never felt so cheated by a publisher as I did when I tried to read this book.

Summary: What's going on, Janet?
Review: Wow! What a disappointment... I certainly never thought that the author who created the wonderful Stephanie Plum would EVER be associated with a book like this! It was pure "dreck." It read like a first offering from a struggling new novelist. No tension, no suspense, no plot, no nada!
I felt after the Christmas book fiasco, (weren't we ALL victims of Diesel) that perhaps the lure of the "big bucks" had altered Janet's integrity. THIS book certainly confirms that.
Shame on you!

Summary: Funny and entertaining
Review: It's a light romance with some suspense and mystery thrown in and a bunch of hilarious characters. I love Janet Evanovich's characterizations; she's in high form here; parts of this book were so funny.

Summary: She's no Stephanie Plum
Review: I was SO disappointed with this book. I didn't even finish it. It had NONE of the snap of the Plum series. It was sappy and tacky.
