Thanksgiving by Janet Evanovich

Megan Murphy loved Colonial Williamsburg in the fall, but when Patrick Hunter’s runaway rabbit began nibbling on her clothes, she decided to return him and give him a piece of her mind. Unfortunately, as she was starting to chew him out, a girl in her young twenties mistakes her for Patrick’s wife and asks the couple to tend to her infant baby. Promising to come back in a few weeks, the girl departs leaving the surprised couple with a child to care for. Soon Megan and Pat find themselves living as a family, but the real question is this for real or just a dream.

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
