The Rocky Road to Romance
Her tall, dark, and deliciously dangerous boss . . . When the delightful, daffy Dog Lady of station WZZZ offered to take on the temporary job of traffic reporter, Steve Crow tried to think of reasons to turn Daisy Adams down. Perhaps he knew that sharing the close quarters of a car with her for hours would give the handsome program director no room to resist her quirky charms. He'd always favored low-slung sportscars and high-heeled women, but that was before he fell for a free spirit who caught crooks by accident, loved old people and pets, and had just too many jobs! Loving Daisy turned Steve's life upside down, especially once he adopted Bob, a huge dog masquerading as a couch potato. But was Daisy finally ready to play for keeps?

Hero at Large
He cooks a pot holder in the spaghetti sauce and needs lessons on making Jell-O. Still, single mom and ice skating coach Chris Nelson is committed to keeping her sexy, scruffy, new "house husband" around. After all, she did break his arm...and his toe...and she can't just turn him out into the cold...
It seemed like luck when this gorgeous stranger first stopped to help Chris with her car, but suddenly her peaceful life turns topsy-turvy as tender, long-suffering Ken Callahan enlists the sympathies of her 7-year-old daughter and her meddlesome Aunt Edna. And even Chris can't deny the excitement his magnetic blue-black eyes spark deep within her...But who is he?

Chris Nelson teaches figure skating at a Northern Virginia skating rink. It’s not a big rink so after the skaters get to a certain level they move on to a more competitive rink. In her youth, Chris was a competitive skater and while she enjoyed the skating, she hated the competitions. This may have been one of the contributing factors in her getting married to the first guy who asked her.

Genre(s): Contemporary, Romantic Suspense
What do you say about a story concerning a pig and a senator? Janet Evanovich where do you come up with these ideas? Wherever she gets them she makes them work!
The pig and the senator are not the main characters; however, the main characters are Pete Streeter who's investigating the senator's involvement with the pig, and Louisa who works in Senator Maislin's office and Pete's downstairs renter.

Lean Mean Thirteen
In the thirteenth book in the series, the stakes are raised even higher as Stephanie Plum finds herself in her most dangerous, hilarious and hottest chase yet. With her loveably offbeat family along for the ride (as well as a few new faces), there’s no doubt that the Stephanie Plum novels put the “fun” in dysfunctional, and it’s clear to see why they’re called “Hot Stuff” by the New York Times and why Evanovich herself is called “the master.”

Review: Jul 16, 2007
Lean Mean Thirteen is a five hour read whodunit that is an oddly entertaining, laugh out loud HOOT.
As a bounty hunter Stephanie Plum ends up in scrapes that would make Lucille Ball proud- if she was still alive.
Ms Evanovich has completed another ingenious novel. She provides a suspenseful plot, endearing capricious characters and vivid setting particulars as she flirts with us until she smacks us fac

If you're a fan of Ms. Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series like me then you will probably enjoy the Full series as well. Full Tilt is book two in the series and focuses on Jamie Swift who runs a small local newspaper in Beaumont, South Carolina.
On the other side of the axis is Maximillian Holt and his name pretty much says it all accept he's closer to a billionaire than a millionaire the plain fact is he's
