Motor Mouth Alex Barnaby Series #2 Janet Evanovich Books

Good, light fun comedy romance set in Alaska, where I'm from, so I was ready to enjoy myself. And I did for the first part. I like novels, whatever their genre, to have a nice balance between intelligent, capable people who are able to hold their own. I felt that Evanovich did this very well in the first part, having the hero and heroine take turns gaining the high ground, with a twinkle in their eyes the whole time. The end was a disappointment to me, though, because the hero was suddenly helpless and smugly manipulated by the heroine until she got her man. I felt like I'd been sold a false bill of goods and felt sorry for the sucker rather than enjoying equals coming together.

Motor Mouth Alex Barnaby Series #2 Janet Evanovich Books Reviews

As always another cute, story from Evanovich. Really enjoyed reading this one. Love the the characters & story line. Romance, funny & good ending. A sequel on these 2 would have been fun.
Fast moving, funny with romance thrown in. Good bunch of characters & an easy read. Plot twists and some fun ind o about facing behind the svenes.
What a hard time getting through this snooze fest! I usually don't write reviews, and JE used to crack me up, but this book was quite the doozy. Wish I could get my 5 bucks back! Slow plotline, ridiculously out of reality situations, and overall too repetitive. Don't waste your money or time.
I thought this book was great and a perfect sequel to "Metro Girl". I loved all of the characters, the plot, the story lines. It was not boring but a really easy read. This is fiction people, so get over yourselves with all of the negative comments. The only thing I did not like about it was the ending. But as to not give it away, I hope there will be another Alexandra Barnaby Book 3 ( and not a comic book). It you would like a fast moving, easy read, then this book is for you. I am a huge Janet Evanovich fan, having read all 21+ of the Stephanie Plum books and her 10 other "before Plum" stories. I don't think you will be disappointed with this one.
Yes, our heroine is not Stephanie Plumb. Manhunt is from before Evanovich started the Stephanie Plumb series, and you can definitely see how she was warming up to it.

Alexandra Scott lives in Princeton, NJ (my hometown, so that was a fun tidbit) and a NY Wall Street executive who leaves it all for a massive change of pace and to go on a Manhunt for a husband in Alaska. She has some of the reckless qualities which you will recognize as some wonderful early practice for developing Stephanie Plumb.

There is a fun dog who is a bit crazed for donuts and curmudgeon as her new employee. This is a well-written fun-filled romp and makes for a light-hearted afternoon read on a lazy weekend afternoon.

Highly recommend for those whose love the genre.
At the point of mental exhaustion after finishing a 600-page novel of intrigue in Victorian England, I felt in need of lighter fare. Yup, this was it.

As author Janet Evanovich explains in a preface written just inside the front cover, MANHUNT was one of twelve short romances - "red hot screwball comedies" - written in her pre-Plum days, nine of which are being re-released. This book in particular was inspired by a 1-year residence with her husband, two kids, cat and beagle in a cabin deep in the woods outside Fairbanks, AL.

Here, Alexandra Scott, the 29 going on 65, burned-out, junior VP of a large New York corporation, trades her elegant city condo even-steven to an old Alaska hand for his cabin in the woods and country store - sight unseen - outside Fairbanks. So, looking forward to a simpler life and hoping to find a committed relationship, i.e. husband, Alex arrives in the outback with her dog Bruno to find that the cabin is a one-room hovel with no plumbing or electricity and the store is a scruffy bait shack. But, on the plus side, her nearest neighbor in the woods is the hunky and affluent Michael Casey, who owns his own air freight business and a comfortable mountain house with all the amenities. Since Casey has no desire to marry and is a housekeeping slob, you'd think he and Alex would have nothing in common. But that doesn't take into account hormonal tides.

The storyline follows a simple formula. Tension builds between Casey and Alex to the point that they have tempestuous sex, after which they're mad at each other for awhile. Then the cycle repeats two or three times. It's the Battle of the Sexes at its most elemental (and monotonous) interspersed with the occasional humorous episode, as when Alex burns down her new outhouse and almost gets lost in the season's first snowstorm. The narrative also has the interesting perspective of jumping back and forth between the two principals he thinks and says, she thinks and says. Bruno's thoughts remain unpolled.

MANHUNT is soft porn for the ladies

"The skirt to her dress had ridden high, exposing the skimpy lace panties. His hand moved across the lace, tracing tantalizing circles. Then his mouth followed the path of his hand and Alex was lost to his touch."

The book's chief usefulness to the average reader is as a time capsule of the author's early writing career as she evolves her characterization and plot development skills to the level of her ongoing and very successful Stephanie Plum series (currently on its twelfth installment), to which I'm addicted.

I think I'm done with Janet's early romances; my manly self-image is suffering from reading this stuff.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Casey and Alex . Alex trading in big city life for frontier life in alaska, and through mishaps through trial and error learning to live with the basic needs. And along the way driving a pilot crazy with forever rescuing her from one mishaps and another. Evanovich does not disappoint her readers, she has a flair for different type of story writing, you can never go wrong in reading her books, you will find yourself enjoying the story.
