The temperature's on "sizzle" again in Beaumont, South Carolina, where peach trees are in season and ripe for the picking. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her grandmother's B&B (and its eccentric handyman Erdle Thorney). According to a local psychic she also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel-- not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding! If rumors of a naughty, prank-playing ghost aren't stressful enough, a mysterious man has arrived with an eye on Annie and her master suite. Wes Bridges is all leather and denim, sporting a two-day beard, straddling a Harley, and sending the B&B's testosterone level through the roof. Annie's cool demeanor may be dropping as fast as Wes's jeans, but leave it to her missing ex-husband to dampen the passion! Turns out someone has done him in, and all evidence points to Annie! Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back to where she was-- wrapped up in Wes's strong loving arms...
We guarantee that you're going to have as much fun reading Full Bloom as we had writing it! (Even if we were surprised by the ending!) And you won't want to miss the hair-raising shenanigans when Fleas, the hound dog, meets the most cantankerous, snooty, bad-tempered, twenty-two pound orange cat....

Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes have teamed for this series which had me roaring with the outrageous wacky and just plain fun dialogue.
Anne Fortenberry has inherited her grandmother's &B and according to a local psychic she has also inherited the spirit from its glory days as a brothel, not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed and Breakfast needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding. When Annie's ex-husband goes missing the police suspect Annie of murdering him just when she's finally met Wes Bridges, all leather and denim who is sending the B&B's testorterone level through the roof. Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck and get back to where she was - wrapped up in Wes's strong arms.

This book has it all... mystery, romance, crime, a ghost, and lots of laughs. This was a very fun book - a real page-turner. This book will not disappoint the Janet Evanovich fan who was hooked on the Plum series. The funniest of all the Full series!

These "Full" books by Janet are cute - something fast and fun to read while you're waiting for the next Stephanie Plum to be released. When you're looking for some good giggles, these are the best!
This book was okay, but was disappointed to see the story veer off from Jamie and Max.

Set in Beaumont, S.C., the fifth installment in Evanovich's Full series (after 2004's Full Blast) gets off to a raucous start. When photographer Wes Bridges comes looking for a room at Annie Fortenberry's B&B, a former bordello that's supposedly haunted, Annie mistakes him for her drunken handyman and hits poor Wes on the head with her rolling pin. Hilarity ensues as Annie and her cast of eccentric boarders provide first aid to Wes in the form of a local veterinarian who specializes in livestock tranquilizers. The comedy gives way to murky mystery when the police locate the body of Annie's philandering husband, Charles, who disappeared three years earlier, and arrest Annie for his murder. The romance between Wes and Annie heats up the sheets, even as the list of suspects grows.
