Book Description:
Her life was pleasant, proper, and predictable until he showed up and trouble moved in. Polo instructor Nicholas Kaharchek senses danger the minute he sees Billie Pearce. She represents everything he's so artfully avoided.

Happy in her home life, a divorced mother of two, Billie is the epitome of stability. They have nothing in common. To his horror, Nick is fascinated and irresistibly attracted. When Billie generously offers to share her home with Nick's crazy cousin Deedee for a while, Nick finds himself visiting often. And while each is slowly seduced by the others charms, and both are wildly encouraged by devious Deedee, Billie and Nick find out that what they have in common is most important of all.

But neither one knows that danger is lurking where they least expect it and a killer is closing in on them.

I wasn't able to get into this book and stopped reading after a few chapters. I'm hooked on the Plum series and as hard as I tried not to compare them, I still didn't like this. If you haven't read any Plum books you'll probly like it but once you get hooked on Plum, you'll probly be disappointed in all Janet's other books.

This is the first book in the Full Series. It's funny, romantic, and adventurous. My favorite part about it is that you get to meet Max when he is just a teenager.

I am a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum novels so I thought I would try this series also. I was disappointed. The story was good but they are not anywhere near as good as the other series. Not sure that I would continue with the "Full" series.

This was a cute book--typical Evanovich with lots of humor and an explosion or two. A nice, light read.

I read this when my son was a baby and in the intensive care unit at the children's hospital. I had to do a lot of waiting in those days and picked this up at the gift shop. It was just right for my needs. Kept me occupied and entertained. Cute story.

I'm hooked on this series. Cannot get enough of the team of Max Holt and Jamie Swift. Tough guys turns good. Great read.

newspaper owner and horseman Nick Kaharchek meets divorced mom Billie Pearce when she makes polo lessons at his stables part of her summer self-improvement program. Though she's hopeless at polo, Billie is so cute that Nick begins to invent excuses to spend time with her. First, he takes care of her when a horse steps on her foot; then, he arranges for his nutty cousin Deedee, a self-absorbed airhead, to board with Billie while her kids are away. As if that isn't enough, Billie must also contend with a bomb-setting teenager, professional wrestlers, an outbreak of spiders and threats from a mysterious intruder. Evanovich acknowledges in a note to readers that her plotting has gotten more intricate since this book was first written (she's right), but her attempt to rework a formulaic '80s love story for the new millennium doesn't come off. The outcome of the artificial romance between Nick and Billie is obvious from the start, as is the identity of the intruder. Instead, the book's focus is on the slapstick comedy provided by the cast of wacky, though mostly loveable, eccentrics.

I loved this book. Another winner from Janet Evanovich. I couldn't put it down once I started it. Mystery and romance wrapped into one.
