not the best
I love her Stephanie Plum series.But the others seem like retreads from before she was well-known.
Fantasy Love Story Packed with Adventure Delivered with Evanovich's Signature Quirky Humor
I cannot even exactly remember what bundle of Romance Novels from about 10 years that held the first Janet Evanovich novel I read, but I took to her style immediately. It was only afterwards that I then discovered her beloved Stephanie Plum series, so while I am a huge fan of the Plum Series, I was already used to and happily predisposed to Ms. Evanovich writing about other characters and stretching in other directions than some fan might be most happy with. (Once you are a fan of one thing, well, you want more of what you want.)
Full House is definitely a fantasy romance. Some Cinderella esque elements in the classic romance plot device which has been redone into Pride & Prejudice, Beatrice and Benedict, and even Pretty Woman. Some contemporary romance readers desire a more "realistic" plot device, and sometimes we still want just complete froth and fantasy for the sake of romance and fun, and THAT is what Janet Evanovich delivers in "Full House."
This is part of the "FULL SERIES" and you will meet a number of the characters here in "Full House." Some of the characters are utterly ridiculous, and that is part of it's charm, if that is to your liking. If it is not, then you won't enjoy "Full House." Some of us are looking for diversion and want to find a break from a boring week or a life that is sometimes too predictable. Curl up on the couch with your steaming mug of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the romping ride (horse back riding is part of the plot, lol) in "Full House."
Good Fun
I checked out the audio book from the library before purchasing for my collection. Several parts made me laugh out loud until tears ran down my face. I like the characters, most of them anyway. I agree with other reviewers that it did start to drag during the last third of the book and the ending wasn't great, but for just relaxing or running around doing housework (audio book), I enjoy it quite a lot.
I like most of the "Full" series books, my other favorite being "Full Bloom." The reader, Lorelei King, has a pleasant voice that seems more suited to the stories than the voice of C.J.Critt, who narrates Janet's other audio books.
