A novel brimming with nonstop action, quirky characters, sexy highjinks, and sharp humor
Welcome to "Full Speed. "You'll fall in love with Jamie Swift and Max Holt, one dynamic duo who can't seem to escape trouble--and an irresistible attraction--as you follow them from one adventure to another.
Newspaper editor Jamie Swift likes a little predictability in her life. When she suddenly finds herself minus a fiance and with a major case of the hots for her silent partner, millionaire Maximillian Holt, any bit of predictability goes right out the window. Max is like a tornado, turning her well-ordered world upside down. Now someone's unhappy with Max's recent business deal--dangerously unhappy. Before she knows it, Jamie's hotfooting across state lines to help Max and land a story. But Sweet Pea, Tennessee harbors some smelly secrets, many of which reside under the big tent of revivalist Harlan Rawlins, whose link to the Almighty rides shotgun with his Mob connections.
Posing as husband and wife, with computer genius Muffin and a mutt named Fleas along for the ride, Max and Jamie are in the middle of another crazy case, closer than ever to each other--and too close for comfort to the kind of people who will do anything to stop them.
"
Jamie and Max have fallen out since the events of the last book, she got out of the car and the story opens with her trying to work her way towards the scoop of the year. Max's in-car computer Muffin is annoyed at him for leaving Jamie all alone.
Jamie is determined to investigate this, is determined to uncover the scandal and doesn't really see the danger she's in. Max can see the danger but can he respect her need to be the investigative journalist she is.
It's peppered with Janet Evanovich's trademark humour and a fun read, nothing serious or deep here and parts of the story aren't quite fully explored but interesting all the same.
