Chick-lit at its best, loads of fun as disasters and chaos follow Bobbie Faye. It made me laugh out loud a couple of times.

This was a non-brain stretching read. Which is exactly what I was looking for. Fluff, but with lots of explosions, varieties of the F word, and more than one hot law enforcement official: really how can you go wrong?
Reread, 1-8-13: Mostly because I didn't know it was republished as Charmed & Dangerous, and - thinking it was the next book in the series - I started it this morning. Oh well: didn't mind re-reading it, but now I've got to get my hands on the rest of the series, asap.

3.75/5 stars. Completely implausible, but fun. This would be a great beach/vacation read.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Not sure why, but this one felt like it took me a while to finish. The BF quotes at the front of each chapter made me smile. The idea that she's such a human disaster area was also funny. I'm not sure what was note quite catching me about this book, but it just wasn't there for me. I do own the next two, so I'll give those a shot at some point.

This was a very fun, easy read ala Janet Evanovich, but, dare I say, better than Evanovich!

I picked this up because it seemed like a funny read. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was set in an area that I'm kinda familar with, which made me read it quick instead of letting it sit on my TBR pile. Overall I liked the book, but I kept thinking to myself NOBODY can have THAT kind of bad luck, can they?!? There was definately chemistry between Bobbie and Trevor, but the author didn't fixate on that as much as the overall chaos surrounding Bobbie's life. I'm interested in reading the next book, just because I want to read more set in an area I like. Hopefully the plot will pick up and the pace will slow down to something less then Warp Factor 10.

This book was a thrill a minute action ride, and I highly recommend it to any Evanovich readers. This book has exploding gun shacks, bear attacks, and all manner of mayhem centered on Bobbie Faye, our heroine in whose wake destruction usually follows. It's set in Louisiana with a cast of colorful characters. I liked this book so much that I called the library to order the sequel the instant I finished it.
