This winter promises record-high temperatures-and A DESIRE that reaches the boiling point...
Beaumont, South Carolina, is on "sizzle" this February. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her grandmother's B&B. According to a local psychic she also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel-not the kind of publicity the Peachtree Bed & Breakfast needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding! If rumors of a prank-playing ghost aren't stressful enough, a mysterious man has arrived with an eye on Annie and her master suite. Wes Bridges is all leather and denim, sporting a two-day beard, straddling a Harley, and sending the B&B's testosterone level through the roof. Annie's cool demeanor may be dropping as fast as Wes's jeans, but leave it to her missing ex-husband to dampen the passion! Turns out someone has done him in, and all evidence points to Annie...Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back to where she was-wrapped up in Wes's strong-loving arms...
Fast-paced action, steamy sex, suspense, and lots of laughs-it's the Full series from #1 bestselling author, Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes

"Will greatly please readers with its rapid-fire dialogue, roller-coaster pace, and unconventional characters."-Booklist (starred review) on Full Bloom

The ultimate chick-lit; the literary form of those 80's romantic comedies that more often than not starred Goldie Hawn or Meg Ryan. I read all of these years ago, long before my online booksite days so they were never reviewed.

There isn't much to review really. Full Bloom is pure marshmallow fluff; it's funny and entertaining, but ultimately about as deep as a summer puddle. There's a murder mystery at the base of it that is actually pretty well constructed, but it's obvious the authors' were focussing on the flirtation, the romance, and the laughs, which are of the slapstick variety. The HEA is a given and if you dislike insta-love, you're gonna hate this book.

A fun, fast read that will not tax your mental abilities even a little bit, but might entertain you if you see the appeal of Goldie Hawn. :) ( )

Not as good as Stephanie Series; however, enjoyed it! The temperature’s on “sizzle” again in Beaumont, South Carolina, where peach trees are in season and ripe for the picking. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her grandmother’s B&B (and its eccentric handyman Erdle Thorney). According to a local psychic she also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel– not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast needs if it’s hosting millionaire Max Holt’s upcoming wedding! If rumors of a naughty, prank-playing ghost aren’t stressful enough, a mysterious man has arrived with an eye on Annie and her master suite. ( )

great book by janet and her partner. hit the ground running with excitement from the first page and never let up until the end. great characters. excellent and finally some sex in a book! ( )

Pretty typical Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes fare, the characters are almost always stumbling over situations which cause cascade into farce, it's quite entertaining and with the light touch of the authors isn't too much (at least not for me)

Annie Fortenberry has inherited her grandmother's B&B, which was a brothel at one stage of it's past. She's organising a wedding for Max Holt, when her ex-husband's body turns up, she though he had run away but it turns out he had died, actually had been killed and she's the prime suspect. Wes Bridges comes into the picture investigating the disappearance of her ex-husband. She's drawn to him, but will the relationship survive her learning the truth?

It's fun, light fare, readable but not terribly deep. ( )

While amusing, and that is what I was expecting, it was a little too empty for me to really enjoy it. I think perhaps it was overshadowed by the couple of books I finished before it and the one after so while I snickered a few times it didn't leave any of itself behind for me to think about. ( )
