      2.5 stars - Fun, outlandish, "romantic mystery" set in the South. Millionaire playboy falls for poor but feisty newspaper publisher who is engaged to safe but boring tax lawyer with a rich power-hungry mother. Throw in some colorful characters and it's just a romp. Weak plotting. Trite dialogue. But it's still fun for the beach.
    • 3/5
      Good book with an interesting storyline
    • 2/5
      Set in Beaumont, SC, Jamie Swift runs the local newspaper and meets her silent partner, Max Holt. Some dirty politics, and his brother in law ot Frankie Fontana a former wrestler is running for office....Lots of drama and romance...not one of favorites in this series.

    • 4/5
      need a break? pick up this book for some funny shenanigans.
    • 5/5
      there is life outside of stephanie plum!
    • 3/5
      Full Tilt takes place 20 years after Full house. It has Max all grown up trying to help Deedee and Frankie. The owner of the local newspaper Jamie catches his eye. Frankie and Max are in danger of losing their lives because Frankie is running for mayor. An ok book by not as good as the first one.
    • 3/5
      Jamie Swift runs a newspaper in Beaumont, South Carolina. She's under stress because the newspaper is going under, slowly but surely. When her silent partner Max Holt announces that he's going to visit this only adds to her stress. When Max arrives he brings not only stress but also questions about her relationship with the 'safe' Philip.It's brain candy, but I did enjoy the story and the characters, particularly Muffin, the AI in Max's car.
    • 4/5
      Rather uneven story that's not sure if it's Knight Rider _or a romantic comedy or more serious romantic suspense. Lukewarm romance, 2-dimensional characters, but entertaining if you don't expect too much.
    • 4/5
      I thought this was a great read (and listen). If there’s one thing Janet Evanovich has a knack for, it’s colorful, interesting characters, and there’s no shortage of them here. From Frankie the ex-wrestler to the gun-toting Vera to Deedee’s personal assistant Beenie, they’re all here to entertain you. I recently watched the first two seasons of Eureka, and Muffin could be Sarah’s sister (and I’m sorry that you won’t get this unless you’ve seen the show, but Sarah’s a house). It’s not clear for quite a while why exactly someone might be gunning for Frankie, but it doesn’t really matter. The mystery is secondary to the interaction between Max and Jamie.I really liked the open-ended ending. Who is this mysterious preacher? What is his problem with Max? And will Max ever get into Jamie’s pants? Another lighthearted, fun read from Ms. Evanovich.
    • 4/5
      This was a quick but fun read. Billie and Nick are no longer primary characters in these later stories, and they are only referred to briefly, with regards to raising Max from 16 on. This book also contained more of a mystery than Full House, as I believe all of Evanovich's later books do. I believe the next book in the series, Full Speed, picks up where this one leaves off, with Max and Jamie heading to Tennessee to try to find the preacher and get some answers from him about the corruption that was unearthed in Beaumont in Full Tilt.
    • 5/5
      A fun fast read. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it for anyone wanting to escape and not think for a while.
