"Mercury's in retrograde, and folks in Beaumont, South Carolina are dealing with gossip, scandal, misunderstandings, and more secrets than ever. Local pediatrician Maggie Farnsworth has even bigger worries. Her wild-girl past has caught up with her in the form of her ex-boyfriend, a jailbird who just flew the coop--and is bent on tracking down Maggie and her daughter. Fortunately, FBI agent Zack Madden is on hand for protection. Unfortunately, his presence is turning up the heat on an attraction Maggie simply has no time for...or does she? But Maggie and Zack aren't the only ones getting busy: Fleas, the hound dog, is up to his old tricks--this time with Butterbean, a very allluring...goat? Jamie Swift and millionaire Max Holt have babies on the brain. And resident psychic-slash-astrologer Destiny is fighting a crush of her own. Since the town's ice cream parlor is a magnet for gossip, no one can keep a secret and the sticky situations are getting even stickier..." (From Amazon)

Hilarious...for all Evanovich fans!

Full Scoop delivers the same excitement that I remember from Full House. FBI agent Zack is a core part of this story and brings all the action together. Maggie, the female protagonist mostly worries throughout the story as to what will happen later, but her plight is riveting. Mel, her 13-year-old daughter keeps things amusing right along with Zack. I think this book wrapped up the series well. The town of Beaumont, South Carolina never fails to deliver with entertainment. I love the cast Evanovich and Hughes put together for the Full series, even if some characters changed out for most of the books. Beaumont is as much a character as anyone in the books.

As far as audiobooks go, Im not a typical fan of abridged books; however this was interesting. It moved quickly, and made for an enjoyable drive.

It's weird that the main characters have changed throughout this series, but it makes for fresh scenes and situations. Destiny became one of my favorites, and I think she might be on the outs. Makes me sad. But of course there are happy endings, and there are a few sexy scenes sprinkled in. Some of the dialog seemed unreasonable, forced, unrealistic, but that's normal for these kinds of novels. I do want to read the rest of her works, even if they don't measure up to Stephanie.

One of the characters has my first and middle names, so that immediately won me over with this book. It enjoyable and I believe the last of the Full series. The only character that remained throughout the entire series was Max Holt so it was a bit frustrating not to really have follow up with the other characters. I guess we got a bit on Dee Dee, Jamie, and few more minor characters like Vera and Destiny. I had to get into the mindset of these being more individual books rather than a series and that helped me to enjoy them more. This one was a good one to end the series.

Newlyweds Max Holt and Jamie Swift-Holt are trying to make a baby, but their recently purchased antebellum mansion is under renovation and filled with feuding contractors

Dr. Maggie Davenport learns that a mistake she made in her past is about to catch up with her. Old boyfriend turned thief and murderer Carl Lee Stanton has escaped from prison and appears to be deadheaded over to Beaumont, S.C. to pay her a visit. Rumor has it the $250K he stole before he was caught is hidden somewhere in town.

Maggie's 13-year-old daughter Mel is unaware of her mother's muddied past, and truthfully unaware of her own past as well. Maggie is sure of one thing - Carl Lee has no business in her life or in her daughter's life. He has not even one virtue to offer to them and their best chance at a good life is without him.

Zach Madden from the FBI is sent to protect Maggie and Mel and to bring Carl Lee to justice. But Zach has his own past with Carl Lee which will complicate matters and perhaps lend a different meaning to the word justice in Zach's eyes.

There was a lot of humor in the book which made this a very quick read.
