"Alexandra (Barney) Barnaby roars onto the Miami Beach scene in hot pursuit of her missing baby brother, "Wild" Bill. Leave it to the maverick of the family to get Barney involved with high-speed car chases, a search for sunken treasure, and Sam Hooker, a NASCAR driver who's good at revving a woman's engine.
Engaged in a deadly race, Bill has "borrowed" Hooker's sixty-five-foot Hatteras and sailed off into the sunset...just when Hooker has plans for the boat. Hooker figures he'll attach himself to Barney and maybe run into scumbag Bill. And better yet, maybe he'll get lucky in love with Bill's sweetie pie sister.
The pedal will have to go to metal if Barney and Hooker want to be the first to cross the finish line, save Bill, Hooker's boat...and maybe the world." (From Amazon)
Hilarious romantic-comedy...for all Evanovich fans!

Just What I Expected
This was just what I expected after loving Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. Her writing is breezy and it’s so easy to enjoy her characters…and they are exactly that - total characters. She always wraps her stories up in satisfying ways and doesn’t rush the ending. Just a fun read all around.

If you like the Plum series, you will enjoy this book as well!
Okay so here the thing... I married into a racing family. Not nascar but like cross country racing. So I literally have to listen to car talk every single day of my life... and don't even get me started on the about of car talk I have to deal with during the holidays! I hate cars. I hate talking about cars. I especially hate NASCAR. I knew going into this book that the MC was a NASCAR driver. So that's on me. But he was so annoying about it. He brought it up in every other conversation. I understand it was suppose to be in a joking way but it still annoyed me. So I really didn't like him. I also didn't like Alex. She was just kind of silly. Nothing terribly wrong with her but I just didn't enjoy her like I did Stephanie or Lizzy. OH also the narrator's voice for Sam was not great.
I have been going back and reading all of Janet's books. Because I seriously love the Stephanie Plum books and I now love Lizzy's books. But I do not think this series will be for me. Especially since in the next book Alex will be working on Sam's NASCAR team. I just didn't enjoy them enough to deal with the car talk.

I read all the Stephanie Plum book, and thought they were so much fun to read. Wasn't as excited about some of her other books, though. Well Metro Girl has great potential. I was laughing out loud at several parts. I think this is going to be another great series.
