Summary: If you like Stephanie Plum....Don't read these
Review: These books are not anything like the Stephanie Plum books from Evanovich's number series (ie. "One for the Money" to "To the Nines"). All these books are romances and not very good ones.

In the first book, "Full House," you are introduced to Max as a child. The romance is not very original, the humor is not very funny and the story doesn't hold much interest. I pushed through, hoping the next book would be better. The second book picks up 20 or so years later with a knight rider car and other science-fiction like products. Instead of getting better, it got more and more ridiculous. I didn't have the heart to pick up the third book.

If you like the humor and characters in her numbers series, stay away from these books. They hold none of Evanovich's charm.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fun Series
Review: These three books get increasingly better. The first is a reworking of an old romance of Janet Evanovich's. While it's a great study of her early humor, it is not a crucial read for the series, although it does introduce Max, the hero, in his adolescence. Full Tilt is the real kick off book for the series and it brings Max and Jamie togther for the first time. The third and best book so far, Full Speed, is a great read. Get these three books to start this fantastic series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Full of Fun
Review: This is a great series. The comedy and mystery are a great blend. I love the quirky characters and laugh out loud every couple of minutes when reading these books. Of course the slow burning romamnce between Max and Jamie (introduced in the second book)is also great, but mostly this is light but fun entertainment! This is a different series than the Plum books so don't come with a preconceived notion, and you will just love it.
