Max Holt the 16 year old boy genius from FULL HOUSE is 20 years older and something of a cross between James Bond and Bill Gates. Frankie the Assassin stays married to Max's wacky sister Dee Dee, and after retiring from wrestling, he decides to run for Mayor. The resulting comic romp is fast and funny.Death threats to Frankie extend to Max and his silent partner Jamie Swift, who must catch the killer before their time runs out! DeeDee, a former beauty queen, has hot flashes, Max's car has more personality than most modern heroines, while a host of other zany characters make this book super fun to read. The romance between Max and Jamie is reminiscent of the Moonlighting Couple. Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes are a great team, and while this is more of an adventure than a mystery, the Plum fans will be pleased that this book is something of a page turner/mystery as well. Fans of Ms. Hughes will enjoy her fun and fast pace (especially the second half, where the pace reminds me of her HOT SHOT). I can't wait for the next in the series!
Rating: - Fantastic.
Jamie Swift's life is full, she is running the only paper in small town Beaumont, South Carolina and is engaged to a handsome young millionaire. Unfortunately, the paper is struggling and her future mother in law can hardly stand her, feeling that her precious son is marrying beneath himself. The answer to her unspoken prayers arrives when Max Holt, sexy billionaire and brother in law to former wrestler turned mayoral candidate Frankie Fontana, comes to town to allegedly help Frankie's campaign. Actually, his sister Deedee wants him to help Jamie. Matters are complicated by attempts on Jamie's life, her mutual attraction to Max, and Max's computer, Muffin, getting hot flashes. Added to that, Frankie's major domo and Deedee's best "girlfriend", Beenie, another former, and gay, wrestler, gets amnesia and forgets he is gay. You can also add a stripper and some poachers to the muddle, and you get a delightful mix. ***** With spark, passion, mystery and more than one chuckle, this book tickles and delights you from beginning to end. Fans of both of these authors will not be disappointed, everything that makes Stephanie loveable and all the wit of Charlotte Hughes other novels is there. Max is someone you definitely hope is going to be back, and Muffin alone is worth a continuing series. ***** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.
Rating:  - Very bad mixture
I bought this book only because I was stranded in an airport for 2 days. I totally regretted buying it! Really poorly written...authors seem to have tried to bring in humor, sex and mystery...but didnt really suceed in doing so.I hope the authors try to be more consistent in their writing in future.
