Thanksgiving by Janet Evanovich
This is a cute story, with a great premise and a lot of potential. But for some reason it didn’t really grab me. To me, Megan seemed to be a little to ditzy at times as she bounces from one extreme to the other. Still it was an easy read and Janet painted a really nice picture of life in modern day Colonial Williamsburg. So if you’re an Evanovich fan, pick up a copy and bring a smile to your face.
Details: Harper Torch, November 2006
Bottom line: A pretty good book
