Product Description:
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the world of Jamie Swift and Max Holt! My good friend Charlotte Hughes and I have teamed up to create a series of books featuring these two characters and they've taken on a life of their own! These books are not set in the same world as my Stephanie Plum novels, but what they have in common is lovable, dysfunctional characters, villains you love to hate, and a cross-eyed way of looking at life. Jamie and Max have intense chemistry-even though they drive each other crazy. Max thinks Jamie is a magnet for trouble and Jamie thinks Max is the most annoyingly sexy, mysterious man she's ever met. She knows she should stay away from him. But boy, oh boy, do the sparks fly when they get together. Jamie is a newspaper owner from a small southern town. And in Full Speed, she's after the story of a lifetime. Max Holt is right in the middle of that story, and so Jamie tracks down the millionaire playboy, forcing him to take her on as partner. What follows is a story of a corrupt minister, a gang of mobsters on the loose, a hound dog called Fleas, a wise-cracking computer genius, and lots of love in the fast lane. Not to mention plenty of steamy action between Jamie and Max.
So have fun with Full Speed. We're going to sign off now and get back to creating more romantic adventures between Jamie Swift and Max Holt. Enjoy and happy reading!

This is the 3rd in the light mystery series featuring reporter Jamie Swift and millionaire playboy Max Holt. IIRC (it's been a few years), it's based on a romance Janet Evanovich wrote back in her Loveswept days. Jamie and Max didn't, however, live happily ever after--they keep skirting around the issue, irritating each other, working together, and occasionally losing control and succumbing to a clinch or two.
This time, they're after a crooked evangelist who's mob-connected--the same mob that tried to have Max killed in, I believe, the previous book, which is where Max and Jamie parted ways. Jamie ends up with a beat-up old truck that came with a dog named Fleas, then poses as a sex addict to go... ahem... undercover with the reverend.
Yeah, it sounds a little convoluted, and it is, but in an over-the-top, light-hearted, I Love Lucy kind of way. It's too fluffy to take even remotely seriously, but it's fun, anyway.
I didn't love Full Speed, but it's fun anyway. It's not Stephanie Plum, and it's not romance, but I wasn't expecting either. Much as I enjoy the Stephanie Plum series, I'd be disappointed if this were a clone of it--what would be the point?
I don't think this is ever going to be one of my favorite series, simply because it's just so light. It's fast, and it's funny, and it's adventurous, but everything's just on the surface. And that's great for a quick pick-me-up, but it doesn't land a book on my keeper shelves.

Full Speed (Janet Evanovich's Full Series)
I ordered the book "Full Speed" by Janet Evanovich (paperback).
I was really impressed with the quickness of delivery and the great condition of the book. I will definately be ordering more books from this person again.

This is a great book, but the delivery was very slow. It didn't even ship til more than a week after I ordered it.
Rated by buyers -
I have to give this book five stars because it did what I needed it to do. I needed something light, comical and distracting and this book fulfilled those things. It's not thought provoking or deep literature. It is not the type of book I usually read. This series isn't as good as the Plum series, but it was entertaining. I'm moving on to the subsequent book in the series.
Rated by buyers -
Although I prefer audio books, I very much enjoyed this imaginative fast paced story of trouble, love and adventure. The author writes some great and intriging stories.
