Product Description

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.

Comedy Romance, 2008-06-24
This is the cutest series by Evanovich. I enjoy her books because they are full of excitement and humor. I especially like to hear one after I have listened to murder series. This Barnaby series is really the best of hers in my opinion, and her reader is good too. I unknowingly read the second book before the first but it really didn't matter because they were both good standing alone. I hope she writes another Barnaby book.

Nascar fun!, 2008-04-17
I found this to be a fun and fast paced read, complete with a Nascar hunk (who knew?) It left me wanting to run out and buy the next one. Not 5 star material but definately good to pass the time with.

Fun Flirty Formula Fiction, 2008-03-06
Barney (aka Alexandra Barnaby) is no Stephanie Plum. She's a competent auto mechanic, not an amusingly incompetent bounty hunter. And Sam Hooker might not be as mysterious or as hot as Ranger, but he's blond and drives a racing car, which is good enough for me. Although the characters are different, Janet Evanovich's ingredients are similar: fast action and flirtatious dialog, or should it be flirtatious action and fast dialog? Does it matter if we're having fun?

If you are looking for deep depressing literature that mumbles on about the meaning of life, find another book. This book is about Florida and one, just one of my favorite scenes, is where Barney gets her hair caught in the door handle of the Mini Cooper and Hooker has to explain to the policeman how it happened. Choice, really choice.

serious fun!, 2008-02-19
I think I like Barney better than Stephanie. Both characters are great but I really enjoyed Hooker and the other supporting characters in the Barney series. In the Stephanie Plum books, you've got all this tension and question about Stephanie's relationships with Joe Morelli and Ranger. With Hooker, he's right out there with what he wants and it is hilarious. The friends Barney meets, Felicia and Rosa are a kick too. The story in Metro Girl is strong, the mystery has some nice complexity to season the hilarity. And as always, villains who meet up with a Janet Evanovich heroine are in for way more than they bargained for.
