Book Reviews of Full Blast (Max Holt, Bk 4)

The books written by Evanovich & Hughes are just not as good as the ones written by only Evanovich. They are ok, but the characters are not as interesting and there's not much humor. If you like the Stephanie Plum series you will probably be disapointed.

This wasn't as good as the regular Stephanie Plum series with the numbers but as close as you can get to one of those books. The co-author must be good and kept the story on track least J.E. wander off to romance and sex too much....more focused on the plot which I liked better than some just J.E. books.

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!

A sexy, southern mystery I couldn't put down.

A fun read. The story kept me laughing from beginning to end.

a very witty read, but you can always expect that from Janet Evanovich!

Light reading and very entertaining.

Another frolicsome tale from the author of the Stephanie Plum novels. Good fun!

Laugh out loud book!

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.

Great read!

Zany and fun!

What can you say about an Evanovich book except that she doesn't write fast enough!

fast paced and funny!

This book either had me smiling or laughing through its pages. Read it and get lost in Jamie Swift's world.

I haven't read a book of her's yet that I haven't loved. She keeps you in stitches all the time.

I love Janet!

Great continuation of the 'Full' series.

An easy weekend read. I've just begun reading Janet Evanovich's works and this fit her formula style of writing: Humor with a light bit of sexual tension between the hero and heroine. This book was a murder mystery that kept me guessing up to the last chapter.

Fast-paced plot and hilarious characters, The girl finally gets her man!!!

I absolutely love these stories about Beaumont, SC! It's fun to watch the different characters evolve and show up in other books!

A fast fun read.

A heat wave has spiked the nercury and everyone's sex drive in Beaumont, South Carolina.

Get ready to have the hottest time of your life with sizzling dua of newspaper editor Jamie Swift and mysterious millionaire Max Holt. Someone is bumping off people in Beaumont and the murders seemed to be linked to her paper's personal ads!

My favorite in this series!

This is a fun book to read. Mystery & romance too!

A hilarious adventure about a small town newspaper editor and a rich philanthropist.

Part of Full House series (Not Stephanie Plum)

Totally agree with the rating!

Excellent! I love her books.

Another geat book with Jamie and Max

A different twist from the usual Stephanie Plum character
we are used to from Evanovich, but she manages to still
input some humor and suspense.

Fun book series.

Jamie Swift is a small town newspaper editor, also known as Swifty by multi-millionaire Mac Holt, who is a silent partner in the paper. Jamie has started a new personals section in the newspaper. But, when a local lingerie shop owner is killed after having a grand opening, and one of her personals is found circled in her office things become tense for Jamie and she calls Max for help. (This is the 3rd book the 2 have teamed up in). There are more killings that also seem to link back to the personals section. Max and Jamie go undercover along with a "clairvoyant" named Destiny to see if they can ferret out who the killer is. So Jamie and Destiny date the different men, compare notes with Max and his computer "muffin" at the same time as Max and Jamie continue to fight their desires for each other. At one point Jamie who has frequented the new lingerie shop is very "tipsy" and decided to show Max, at his B&B room, her new lingerie and at the same time that she does the door opens to the owner of the B&B, making Jamie the talk of the town.

loved it

I love this whole series!

Evanovich is always fun and this outing will not disappoint. Happy Reading!

excellent book

Great book. You can't help but fall in love with Jenny's characters and their lives. Great mixture of light suspense and romance.

This author is a total riot...keeps me up nights laughing so hard it is unreal...easy to read and very entertaining.

Evanovich can't be beat!

The latest in the adventures of Jamie and Max

I found this book very repetitive of other elements in her Stephanie Plum detective series. Had the usual annoying/junk food prone dog, crazy older lady with gun and hot cars, heroine with doughnut fetish/recently acquired dog/hunky rich boyfriend, violent crime/deaths. Was not impressed with this book, took several days to get into it, hoping it would improve. May have enjoyed the book more if I had not read many of her other books and already seen this same story line.

Trouble follows Max around and the teperature is heating up, along with the residents of Beaumont. When someone starts bumping off the town's more annoying citizens, all clues lead straight to the new persona; section in Jamie's newspaper.

Another good read from Evanovich.

Max and Jaime are on another adventure! This time in S.C. where some annoying citizens are being killed. A greatly fun read!

Zany, hilarious and totally unique characters.

My favorite in the series so far!!!

very good read

love it!

I think this one is third is a series - Full House, Full Tilt, then Full Blast. A fun, quick read.

woohoo~

A very easy read ... but fun. Typical Evanovich - somehow when I read these books I always see Sandra Bullock playing the lead role... In this one Swifty and Max are trying to figure out if some murders are related to a personal ad column - along with a psychic who has a ghost. This book is great for a bus commute!

Book 4 in series

Another great book in the series about Jamie and Max, suspensful yet funny

This was a very good book. It was fun and interesting.

I thought this series was really good. I liked this author a lot.

Excellent book.

I love this series even more than Stephanie Plum! Max and Jamie are great characters and this was a good delayed at the airport - again - book

Very funny book. Keeps in line with the rest of the series. I really enjoyed.

Good book, another one that will keep the pages turning

This is a romance with a mystery to solve. It has a nice surprise ending.

great ..i loved it..these 2 authors are great together

Turn up the heat and slip into something comfortable...from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Janet Evanovich

When you run out of Stephanie Plum to read... this is a great backup read! Wonderful characters, lots of fun and always something to solve! Jamie and Max are the characters in this seres, along with alot of other great ones all living in Beaumont South Carolina... very enjoyable!

Wonderful book. The story of Jamie and Max was just as good as the one of Billie and Nick and of Stephanie and Ranger/Morelli from the Plum Series!

The "Full" series is very entertaining.

As with all of Janet Evanovich's books, this one is fast paced and humorous! It was hard to put it down.

Very good, and fun!

This is about newspaper editor, Jamie Swift and millionaire Max Holt. There are some murders in town, and clues lead to Jamie's personals section in the newspaper. Max and Jamie start uncovering secrets. This is going to be a series too.
