“A letter to the reader from Ms Evanovich:
In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote twelve short romance novels. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and every one of them. Nine of these stories were originally published by the Loveswept line between the years 1988 and 1992. All immediately went out-of-print and could be found only at used bookstores and yard sales.
I'm excited to tell you that those nine stories are now being re-released by HarperCollins. They will be presented in almost original form. I've done only minor editing to correct some embarrassing bloopers missed the first time around.
The Book:
Opportunity knocks . . .
The "Dog Lady" of radio station WZZZ, free-spirited Daisy Adams figures anything has to beat pushing tasty canine recipes over the airwaves. So when a slot for a roving traffic reporter opens, Daisy jumps at it-- despite the fact that she's already juggling about fifteen other jobs. The new one comes with a raise and more responsibility. It also comes with a hands-on boss, hunky operations manager Steve Crow. When Daisy turns into a media darling after inadvertently foiling a major criminal's getaway, Steve decides it's his duty to protect her, bringing him even farther into the tangled web of her maddeningly overextended life. But Daisy's got far too much going on to get involved in extracurricular activities-- like falling in love.
My Take:
This is a nice cute story....of course you know the leads are going to get together eventually, no matter how much one of them fights it....it is just a question of when and how.
There is even a big dog called Bob and an old lady that reminds me of Stephanie Plums Grandma Mazur, only she is not quite as crazy.

So many books, so little time
