The sequel to Metro Girl!! This tale involves the main characters of Metro Girl the Nascar driver Sam Hooker and the new member of his team and ex-girlfriend Barney. The tale immediately begins when Barney receives a phone call from a fellow spotter Gobbles. He has unfortunately locked himself in another team’s car transporter and he fears imminent death if he is not rescued. Hooker and Barney decide that the only way they can free Gobbles is if they steal the transporter. Unfortunately, when they free Gobbles, they also discover a dead body and before they know it, they are linked to murder and theft. The story continues from here in the usual pandemonium and mystery that has made Evanovich famous today. I was rather disappointed that Evanovich did not bring back some of her interesting and uniquely created minor characters from the previous story like Judey, Maria and Barney’s brother. I looked forward to hearing from them again and was disappointed when they were not even mentioned. I thought this was a hole in her plot because the story does take place in Miami and these people are located there. However, Evanovich does introduce Beans who is more dog than anyone wants as well as a multitude of bad guys and semi-bad guys to distract us from the missing characters. This is a really engaging story that is a wonderful example of popular fiction and it is an easy read. Great for all the people who want to read something light but entertaining!!

Another suspense filled mystery story by this well-known author. Evanovich creates new characters as well as a new setting in this story that differentiates itself from her Stephanie Plum number series. As always, Evanovich’s characters are very unique and well-developed. Each character has their own quirks that make them memorable and adds to the comedy of the tale. Evanovich sticks to her career in mystery writing in this tale that is set in Miami. The pages practically turn themselves and before you know it you are completely enraptured in the story. Although I love the Plum series, I found this story to be equally exciting and satisfying. A great work of popular fiction that I would recommend to any mystery reader who enjoys not only mystery but also adventure and romance.

This comedic tale is set in Colonial Williamsburg in Northern Virginia. In this tale, a new doctor finds himself accidentally involved with a red-haired stubborn woman as they are thrown together to care for a child that has been left by his mother. The circumstances behind the baby’s mother leaving the child are very suspicious and the couples agree to split the care of the child between the two of them. As they care for the child, they began to recognize they have feelings for each other. When both of their families arrive in Williamsburg for Thanksgiving, the hilarity increases with normal family bloopers. Before they know, their mothers have planned their wedding and they seemed to be fated for the altar. Evanovich creates very dynamic three-dimensional characters in this tale that is very amusing and worthwhile read. My only complaint is that the story should have been extended longer; the conclusion seems a little premature and as a reader you can imagine what the characters would do next and it is almost side that “the next” is not there for you to read. An easy enjoyable light read!!
