There's a whole lot of trouble going on in Beaumont, South Carolina. According to resident psychic-slash-astrologer, Destiny Moultrie, Mercury's in retrograde; Venus is in the seventh house, and the combination has turned Cupid wacko! Chaos rules as tempers flare and lust runs rampant. 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. Vera has a crush on her new mailman, and is bent on looking ten years younger. Destiny is marked for marriage by the changing planets, and she's running for her life as the local redneck and bait shop owner is determined to make her his. Meanwhile, local pediatrician Maggie Davenport has considerably bigger problems now that her wild-girl past has caught up in the form of ex-boyfriend and jailbird who just flew the coop -- and is determined to track her and her daughter down. If he doesn't expose her secrets, theres a good chance Jamie's editor, intent on getting the Full Scoop, will. Fortunately, FBI agent Zack Madden is on hand for protection; but the new danger is the wild attraction he and Maggie share. Fleas the hound dog is experiencing his first crush on Maggie's adorable and alluring... um... pygmy goat? Add to that an Elvis convention and a local root doctor and hoodoo practitioner who decides it's time she take charge; only to have one of her spells backfire, and youve got a gut-busting, laugh-out-loud story we hope you wont forget!
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!

When two great story tellers get together the results shouldn't be missed.
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 hust 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?"

Another fun book for a lazy weekend afternoon....
Beaumont, South Carolina pediatrician Maggie Farnsworth's wild past catches up with her in the form of her ex-boyfriend, a jailbird who's just flown the coop and is intent on tracking down Maggie and her daughter. Things heat up when FBI agent Zack Madden comes on the scene to protect the twosome. Add in an old hound dog named Fleas who's in love with a goat named Butterbean and a resident psychic/astrologer named Destiny and you've got another great Janet Evanovich novel.

All of Janet Evanovich's books are outrageous, wacky and fun. This romance-mystery takes place in Beaumont, S.C. I enjoyed it very much!
