The Kari AnnAlysis

From  Amazon: Wealthy newspaper owner and horseman Nick Kaharchek meets divorced mom Billie Pearce when she makes polo lessons at his stables part of her summer self-improvement program.

Though she’s hopeless at polo, Billie is so cute that Nick begins to invent excuses to spend time with her. First, he takes care of her when a horse steps on her foot; then, he arranges for his nutty cousin Deedee, a self-absorbed airhead, to board with Billie while her kids are away.

As if that isn’t enough, Billie must also contend with a bomb-setting teenager, professional wrestlers, an outbreak of spiders and threats from a mysterious intruder.
I hate having to take a book summary from Amazon. I tried to write this one almost a dozen times and it just wasn’t coming. There was so much going on in this book, I couldn’t boil it down to just a couple of sentences.

I have been a fan of Janet Evanovich for years and her books never fail to please me. I started listening to audiobooks recently and ran across this Evanovich book. I hadn’t read this series and though it’d be a good one to listen to, rather than read. It was a very good decision.

There’s not many authors that make me laugh out loud while I’m reading/listening to their books. Evanovich does that in every single book of hers that I get into. Evanovich doesn’t have to make a new world and write a fiction book that is so completely out of this world and unbelievable for you to fall in love with her work. A lot of my favorite authors have moved up the list for those reasons. I always respect the authors that can do this and I want to get inside their mind. But Evanovich keeps it simple and it’s just as magical. All of her books could be reality, hilarious reality and that garners my respect as well.

I give Full House 5 bookmarks and can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.
