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.

Gotta love Evanovich

Good book. You can tell she is setting up to write her Stephanie Plum series. I accidentally bought two, so you know it's got to be funny! I always like when there is a cute animal who brings our lovebirds together.

I'm a dog lover, so the combination of romance and dogs with Janet E's writing were a win/win for me!

I LOVED this book! It was written before Evanovich started her series. The heroine is loveable and REAL. She's recently divorced, trying to find a job after being a "stay-at-home" mom and wife for over 10 years. She applies for a job as a carpenter's helper even though she knows nothing about buildings. Readers are in for a fun ride!

This one was cute. Again another of Evanovich's that didn't disappoint.

Fun, fast read.

Cute book - pre-Stephanie Plum novel but smacks of her characters that must have been in development at the time.

Excellent pre-Plum story, very funny and you can see the Plum characters taking shape.
