While many of you have probably picked up this novels before, a surprising number of Plum fans don’t know about Janet Evanovich’s other novels. This one is the first in a series of book that focus a little but more on romance and a little less on mystery. While the book has some clichéd romance in it, a sexy bachelor starts to fall for a strong divorced mother of two, it’s a step above your classic romance. Perhaps this is because a mysterious killer is after the divorcée or maybe it’s just because it has the lovable characters Evanovich is known for. Either way, check out this book if you are looking for something on the steamy side.
