In the world before Stephanie Plum, Janet Evanovich wrote romances - fluffy, silly - almost zany - romances like Love Overboard. Because of the popularity of the Plum books, most of these romances have been republished with new covers and sometimes new titles (this book was originally titled Ivan Takes a Wife).
It's a fun read, but the style reads almost like she is practicing for the Plum novels. Heck, the heroine's name is Stephanie (same as the Plum books). And although the majority of the book is set in Maine, the heroine's family is in New Jersey and she went to her parents' house for dinner every Sunday for most of her adult life. Sound familiar to anyone?
I've read several of the pre-Plum romances now. And as long as you don't expect too much of them, these books are great for a few hours of entertainment.
