Another frolicsome tale from the author of the Stephanie Plum novels. Good fun!
From back cover:
Get ready to have the hottest time of your life with the sizzling duo of newspaper editor Jamie Swift and mysterious millionaire Max Holt. My good friend Charlotte Hughes and I set out to create a whole new world, separate from my Stephanie Plum novels, yet inhabited by the same kind of zany, hilarious, and totally unique characters that we love.
There's never a dull moment for the residents of Beaumont, South Carolina. Lately, a heat wave's spiked the mercury-- and everyone's sex drive! These days, when Jamie runs into Max, it's all she can do not to tear his clothes off-- and the feeling is mutual.
But trouble seems to follow Max like moths to a flame, and Jamie suspects he's all wrong for her. Meanwhile, the lingerie shop is having a sale on edible underwear, while the bakery's selling aphrodisiac-laced brownies and X-rated birthday cakes. Even Jamie's dog, Fleas, is dodging passes from the amorous French poodle next door!
But when someone starts bumping off some of the town's more annoying citizens, all clues lead straight to the new personals section in Jamie's newspaper. Pretty soon, things are getting hot and heavy, as Max and Jamie start uncovering secrets-- and undressing each other...
So settle in with a tall cool drink, and have fun with FULL BLAST. We'll be back soon, with another steamy romantic adventure featuring Jamie and Max. Happy reading!
Janet & Charlotte

Meet newspaper editor Jamie Swift and mysterious millionaire Max Holt - the same kind of zany, hilarious and totally unique characters you've met in Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels.
There's never a dull moment for the residents of Beaumont, SC. Lately, a heat wave's spiked the mercury - and everyone's sex drive! These days, when Jamie runs into Max, it's all she can do not to tear his clothes off - and the feeling is mutual. But trouble seems to follow Max like moths to a flame, and Jamie suspects he's all wrong for her. Meanwhile, the lingerie shop is having a sale on edible underwear, while the bakery's selling aphrodisiac-laced brownies and X-rated birthday cakes. Even Jamie's dog, Fleas, is dodging passes from the amorous French poodle next door!
When someone starts bumping off some of the town's more annoying citizens, all clues lead straight to the new personals section in Kamie's newspaper. Pretty soon, things are getting hot and heavy, as Max and Jamie start uncovering secrets - and undressing each other.
This wasn't one of Evanovich's best efforts. I couldn't get into the plot nor any of the characters. This is highly unusual, as an Evanovich book normally gets consumned in a day.

I enjoy Janet Evanovich's books on Stephanie Plum and thougth I'd try out this new series. It was very entertaning. I was amused by the conversations with Max's computer named Muffin as I just finished reading Donna Andrews books about her computer with personality, Turing Hopper. Wonder who came first?

4th in a great series
Like all of Janet Evanovich's books, they are fun interesting story
lines. A steamy romantic adventure. Jamie, a newspaper editor in Beaumont, South Carolina & her silent partner, Max Holt, a wealthy & very sexy man, don't want to get involved with each other, but they find that not going to be easy to do. They cannot keep away from each other especially when someone starts bumping off some of the town's more annoying citizens, all clues lead straight to the new personals section in Jamie's newspaper. Pretty soon things are getting hot & heavy, as Max and Jamie start uncovering secrets...and undressing each other.
I am a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, so I had high hopes for the Full series. Unfortunately, the books have not lived up to my expectations. I couldn't even finish this one.
