Product Description
Her tall, dark, and deliciously dangerous boss . . . When the delightful, daffy Dog Lady of station WZZZ offered to take on the temporary job of traffic reporter, Steve Crow tried to think of reasons to turn Daisy Adams down. Perhaps he knew that sharing the close quarters of a car with her for hours would give the handsome program director no room to resist her quirky charms. He'd always favored low-slung sportscars and high-heeled women, but that was before he fell for a free spirit who caught crooks by accident, loved old people and pets, and had just too many jobs! Loving Daisy turned Steve's life upside down, especially once he adopted Bob, a huge dog masquerading as a couch potato. But was Daisy finally ready to play for keeps?

 Creepy Characters & Ridiculous Plotlines, 2008-08-01
I'm surprised by the large number of positive reviews for this book, as I consider it one of Janet Evanovich's most disappointing works thus far. The characters had no chemistry, the plot was ridiculous, and I actually felt disgusted reading about their "romance", as the leading man was a compulsive liar and creepy stalker in a completely uncharming way! Stick with Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series!

 Classic Janet Evanovich Style, 2008-07-15
Laugh out loud FUNNY!
I found myself laughing out loud so much while reading this book. Good thing I was not out in public!
I loved it!
I love Janet's style of writing. Even this is pre-Plum you can feel her writing style in the characters.
It was a fast, funny and easy read.
Just the kind of book you need for a quick pick me upper.
It features just the types of characters you have come to expect and hopefully love from Janet.
The dog, Bob, is so much like the dog named Bob in the Plum series.
Great book for vacation or the beach.

"Funny and Fast -Paced", 2008-05-16
This book is alot of fun to read. It goes fast and it's funny. Altho a bit of fantasy goes on in this book. Steve walks in to the pound to get a dog and 10 min he's outta there. Nowadays, MOST shelters want 25 pages of documents to prove you can take care of this dog (this is a GOOD thing); then in a car dealership and walks out in less then 30 min (or so) with a new SUV.. it CAN happen, but the odds are unlikely; Drives down to a realtors and within 30 min or an hour, has talked to the realtor, picked out and bought a house, arranged for a move that will have your house set up the next day in this house you just purchased, maybe without seeing, inspecting, etcc. Now really, they don't even turn the water or gas on for a few days. LOL
Over all, Yes I would buy this book again and I loved reading it. The sawed off shotgun toting granny reminds me of me; Bob, the dog, is just too cute and wonderful; and the sex in this book wasn't as explicit as people say.
You want good ole smutty sex? Read Skye O'Malley by Bertrice Small. You get the good stuff. hehehe

Rocky Road to Romance, 2008-05-03
Daisy Adams is a very busy lady, but she thinks it may be her lousy time management. When she gets up in the morning she delivers papers, then is a crossing guard to protect children on their way to school. She has a temporary job at WZZZ Radio Station doing traffic reports, after which she waitresses at Rogers Steakhouse part-time, and then she moonlights as a taxi cab driver! In her spare time, she wrote a doggie cookbook called Bones for Bowser and has been asked to write another. On top of all her other commitments, she is working on her doctorate in geriatric psychology, and has an internship at a nursing home. Her little brother Kevin is also staying with her while their parents are out of town.
Steve Crow is the owner of WZZZ, and although he hired Daisy to do Bowser spots on Mondays, he had really not noticed her until he hired her to do the traffic reports. Now that he has he wants her bad, but she has no time for anything or anyone. Daisy does need a dog to do taste tests on her doggie meals, so Steve does the only thing he can think of to be near her - he gets a dog named Bob. When Daisy unintentionally hits a drug dealer with her car while doing the traffic report, she is targeted for retribution. Steve has fallen for Daisy, and takes it upon himself to protect her.
This was a fun read. Steve and Daisy have chemistry, are good together, and Bob is just loveable. Who wouldn't be absolutely smitten with a dog that requires pop tarts as motivation to go running in the morning?

 Quick, Easy, Entertaining Read, But Pretty Much Formula Writing, 2008-03-24
I love Janet Evanovich's writing style and her keen ability to create humorous characters and engaging dialogue. Clearly, "The Rocky Road to Romance" was pre-Stephanie Plum period and the characters and dialogue are not nearly as developed. However, for a quick, mindless read for pure escapism, it definitely delivers.
