Lizabeth Kane desperately needs a job – any job. She’s recently divorced with two children and after being turned down for nearly every other job, she applies for a job as a laborer at a construction site. Matt Hallahan fell in love with Lizabeth the moment he saw her and immediately offered her a job with his company. While Lizabeth needed the job (especially since she’d learn the skills she needed to fix her current house), she wasn’t ready to get involved with anyone. But Matt wasn’t ready to take no for an answer, so he began spending time with Lizabeth by helping her repair her house. Can Matt survive a dog that eats everything, the neighborhood flasher, an eccentric old lady named Elsie, and a slightly jealous ex-husband in order to convince Lizabeth to marry him?
This is a lightweight, fun book, that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. It does however have a minor few holes in the plot that detract from the overall story. But the colorful characters more than make up for it, especially Elsie who seems to be the prototype for Janet’s Granny Mazur in the Plum books. So if you’re an Evanovich fan, you need to add this book to your to-be-read pile.
Details: Harper Torch, July 2006
Bottom line: A very good book
