Originally written in 1989 under the name Steffie Hull, Janet Evanovich has rewritten the book in 2002 together with Charlotte Hughes and republished it. Out came a light and funny novel with lovable characters, some sex, some thrills and a somewhat unbelievable but interesting plot. Just the right amount of depth for a beach holiday. Not too insipid but also nothing you have to think about too hard afterwards.
I read the book in three days in front of the pool in Kenya and was just happy that I had brought it with me. A friend of mine read it at the same time under the same circumstances and she came to the same result: Somehow implausible when you start to think about it but great for summer vacations and you just have to know how it ends. The conclusion is definitely thrilling.
"In Full House Nick Kaharchek senses danger the minute he sees Billie Pearce. She represents everything he's always avoided. Happy in her home life, a divorced mother of two, Billie is the epitome of stability. She's also irresistibly fascinating to the footloose Kaharchek ... in a car-crash sort of way. Their fateful meeting leads to a story filled with seduction and mayhem and love everlasting."
