Book Description:
Single mom Lizabeth Kane isn't exactly carpenter material -- she's never picked up a hammer in her life. But she desperately needs the construction job that builder Matt Hallahan is offering. And even though he knows trouble is ahead, Matt can't refuse Lizbeth's irresistible smile.

Matt Hallahan isn't exactly relationship material -- he has always been too busy working on other people's houses to make a home of his own. And even though she knows better, Lizabeth can't stop thinking about the rugged carpenter.

Is the relationship Matt and Lizabeth are building solid -- or more like a house of cards?

This book was just as good, just as funny the second time I read it. When you cannot help laughing out loud you know you know the dialogue and interaction of the characters is great. Don't miss this book.

Fun, quick read. Sizzling attraction without laborious sex scenes (i.e., no TMI intimacy).

Single mom Lizbeth Kane wasn't exactly construction-worker material, but she truly wanted a job - and Matt Hallahan found her radiant smile utterly irresistible! When the virile hunk with the perfectly tanned chest agreed to hire her as a laborer, Lizbeth felt her heart - and her libido - send up a cheer. Since her divorce from a snobby philanderer, she'd frankly lost interest in men, but this macho carpenter who smelled of sawdust and musk made her senses sizzle. Matt was a ride through white water, a shot of adrenaline that revived her flirting instincts - but teasing a man of action had deliciously dangerous romantic results! Matt was charmed by Lizbeth's enthusiasm, her spunky kids and wacky aunt, and did his best to seduce the lady in every room of her ramshackle home. Lizbeth worried that they were too different, that he was overly protective, that she'd make him a terrible wife. Could Matt prove she needed him as much as he needed her?

Cute, quick read. One of the early Evanovich books that have been re-released. The plot is pretty flimsy, but if you are looking for a light-hearted romance with lots of laughs, this is a good choice.

Smitten is the story of a single mom with a fixer-upper house and a desperate need to find a job. Desperate times call for desperate measures and our single mom talks a local carpenter into giving her a position on his crew. Okay, so it's a pity position, and she knows zip about construction, but it's a start, right? And, of course, the carpenter is gorgeous and sexy and single. If you like Janet Evanovich you will like this book.

If your a fan of Janet Evanovich you've got to read this book. It's just as funny as her stephanie Plum series. It is also a quick read.

Fun, cute, easy read book. . . Enjoy !
Just the change of pace your looking for. . .

This is another throwback from a decade ago, but it is still a funny light hearted romantic story. All about a divorced woman w/ 2 kids trying to make it as a carpenter and a very handsome carpenter who isn't sure why he hired her, but knows he wants to be with her. In classic Evanovich style there is the totally absurd gun toting aunt, dog, flasher, Harley and lots of unsure love.
It only took me a couple hours to read, so grab this book, sit down on the blanket at the beach or the park and escape the real world for awhile with a book that has more laughs than sighs!

This book was a very easy read. As always, Evanovich has her wacky characters, Not too much mystery in this one as it bears more as a love story more than anything. I loved reading this book because the male character had me smitten!!!

Cute, quick read. Not one of Evanovich's "number" books but has her flair.
