"He lives life in the fast lane and she's along for the ride-with no brakes....
Jamie Swift has one priority in quiet Beaumont, South Carolina: running the local newspaper. Romance runs second. But with the arrival of her silent partner, the notoriously mysterious and sexy Maximillian Holt, Jamie's life gets shaken up. Max claims he's here to give his brother-in-law a vote of confidence. A former wrestler, Frankie Fontana's now taking his shots in the political ring. Beaumont could use a mayor with scruples, but what it gets is a crime-and what Jamie gets is a story that's taking her for a ride on the wild side, complete with two assassins, a washed-up stripper, and an insane poacher. Between a spray of bullets and a fast getaway could it get any more romantic-or dangerous? Max and Jamie are betting their lives on a long shot." (From Amazon)
Hilarious...for all Evanovich fans!

Literally the worst book I've read in years. The plotting, characters and dialogue all sound like they were written by a 5th grader. There were more simple sentences strung together than an elementary book report.
I seriously can't believe how horrendous is was. I had to read the last 10pages out loud to my husband to prove just how absurd it was. So much for a quick read to pad my stats....

Full Tilt has the same quirkiness as Full House (with some of the same characters, albeit in a different setting) & Stephanie Plum. The shenanigans are not so outlandish as multiple car explosions, like I've read some readers of Evanovich grow tired of in Plum. The adventure between Max & Jamie kept me wondering "what's next" from page one so much so that every time I had a chance to pick it up, I did not want to put it down. Disclaimer: Full House does not NEED to be read first, but I recommend reading it to better understand certain characters of Full Tilt. Overall, a very entertaining book that falls right into what I hope for and expect from Evanovich, even great with co-writer Charlotte Hughes.

These are not my favorite books by her. They are growing on me, I suppose.. but Stephanie Plum is so much better! Oh well!

This was actually a fun book to read. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book, but my coworker thought I might like it. I have to admit she was right. It is full of adventure and a sassy computer named Muffin. Who I have to say is my favorite character! I would love to have a Muffin in my car!!!

It was good seeing what happened with Max and Deedee. There were almost too many bad guys in this book that made it a bit confusing, but not complex. Felt Jamie was transformed a bit too quickly to fit into future books. Not bad, but had this series been my first experience with Evanovich I probably wouldn't have continued onto the Plum series.
