Book Description:
"Wild" Bill Barnaby's dropped off the face of the earth and big sister Alex heads for Miami, Bill's last known sighting, on a harrowing hunt to save her brother ...and maybe the world. Truth is, Alex has been bailing her brother out of trouble since they were kids. Not that Bill's a bad sort. More that he acts first and thinks later. Unfortunately, this time around "Wild" Bill will be "Dead" Bill if Alex doesn't find him in time.
Alex blasts through the bars of South Beach and points her search south to Key West and Cuba, laying waste to Miami hit men, dodging Palmetto bugs big enough to eat her alive and going pedal to the metal with NASCAR driver Sam Hooker.
Engaged in a deadly race, Wild Bill's "borrowed" Hooker's sixty-five foot Hatteras and sailed off into the sunset ...just when Hooker has plans for the boat. Hooker figures he'll attach himself to Alex and maybe run into scumbag Bill. And maybe Hooker'll get lucky in love with Bill's sweetie pie sister. After all, Hooker is NASCAR Guy. And NASCAR Guy is good at revving a woman's engine.
The race to the finish is hot and hard, taking Alex and Hooker into international waters, exposing a plot to grab Cuban gold and a sinister relic of the Cuban missile crises.
Creative cussing and sexual innuendo included.

This is a high-octane misadventure with hot nights, high stakes, cold-blooded murder, and NASCA Guy. That about covers what a good novel needs. I've got the book, you add the chocolates and comfortaqble chair.

Wonderful first book in Janet's New series. Stars a great new female lead, a NASCAR driver, and the usual cast of wild characters. Very funny.

I wasn't that crazy about this book. I like the Plum series much better.

I was very disappointed with this book. I love her Stephanie Plum series, but this did not live up to my expectations.

Another fun fast paced book from Janet Evanovich! I enjoy NASCAR so that added to the fun, but even if you aren't a fan it is a great read!
I love that her books are funny!

Michele B. Good Book...Barney is a fun new character...and Hooker is a hoot!
This is a funny mystery with some twists. Our bookclub read it as a fun summer read and it was a good choice.
Jami S. (I am a fan of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, and Metro Girl is right up there on that level. Very good book, I look forward to reading the sequel, Motor Mouth.
I read this after reading the Stephanie Plum series, and I found that this book follows the same formula...romance, crazy comical plots, funny secondary characters, and a horny male main character. I don't have a problem with this at all. In fact, this formula works great in the Stephanie Plum series, but I wasn't too crazy about it in this book. It was alright, but maybe I'm just too stuck on my Jersey girl (like me) Stephanie and her hot men, lol.
This is the first J.E. book I read and, even though it took me a while to get into it, it had some truly hilarious moments. I became a fan after reading this book!
Another great adventure from Janet Evanovich. The book was captivating till the end.
Judy B. (Too funny, and sexy, and interesting from cover to cover. Loved the characters. Another Evanovich hit!
Linda (Another hit for Evanovich. New characters but the same sense of humor. A great light read.
I don't know why I waited so long to get on the Alex Barnaby bandwagon--Janet Evanovich is witty and now I understand the hype! This is the start of a to-die-for series! Great characterization, fun innuendos, fast pace...this was a read-in-a-single day, couldn't put it down, romp through Florida that immediately made me want to pick up the sequel.
