Publisher Description
Number one bestselling author Janet Evanovich teams up with award-winning author Dorien Kelly to deliver a sparkling novel of romantic suspense, small-town antics, secretive sabotage, and lots and lots of beer Kate Appleton needs a job. Her husband has left her, she's been fired from her position as a magazine editor, and the only place she wants to go is to her parents' summer house, The Nutshell, in Keene's Harbor, Michigan. Kate's plan is to turn The Nutshell into a Bed and Breakfast. Problem is, she needs cash, and the only job she can land is less than savory. Matt Culhane wants Kate to spy on his brewery employees. Someone has been sabotaging his company, and Kate is just new enough in town that she can insert herself into Culhane's business and snoop around for him. If Kate finds the culprit, Matt will pay her a $20,000 bonus. Needless to say, Kate is highly motivated. But several problems present themselves. Kate despises beer. No one seems to trust her. And she is falling hard for her boss. Can these two smoke out a saboteur, save Kate's family home, and keep a killer from closing in…all while resisting their undeniable attraction to one another? Filled with humor, heart, and loveable characters, Love in a Nutshell is delicious fun.

" Probably one of Evanovich's better books. Not too outlandish. "
— Taryn, 1/9/2014 -
" It was a cute book filled with funny moments & a case of whodunit. My only downfall of the book is that I wish the ending gave more as to what happens w/the characters. I don't feel like I got closure. Other than that it was a really charming book. "
— Solano76, 12/14/2013 -
" Fluff, but sometimes fluff is called for. "
— Kim, 11/27/2013 -
" This book was a fun little love story. I liked the fact that it varied from the typical romance novel in that the characters although they had conflicts, were not mortal enemies and didn't hate each other on sight. An enjoyable quick read. "
— Chani, 11/18/2013 -
" Not her best book by far...it lacked the thrill and the sexiness "
— Sara, 10/28/2013 -
" Fluffy. Had a sense of humor. But the plot was not surprising in anyway, nor were the characters. "
— Dara, 10/21/2013 -
" More romance focus than mystery. Light, quick, fun read. "
— Pam, 6/24/2013 -
" Liked the story and the fact that it was set in Michigan. "
— Mem, 5/17/2013 -
" This book is not nearly as edgy as Janet E's Stephanie Plum series, but there is still some slick humor mixed in with the mystery and love story. I love mysteries but don't ready many "romance books." It was fun, easy reading. "
— Kcoloney, 2/18/2013 -
" Really more like 3.5 stars. "
— Kimberly, 2/4/2013 -
" More romance than mystery, this is a bit of a slow mover compared to the Stephanie Plum novels. Not bad but not one I would highly recommend. "
— Regina, 12/11/2012 -
" I enjoy reading something light in between heavier books, so if you have just finished something that really makes you think and you just want some fluffy escape, this is a good filler. Great literature it is not. A pleasant way to pass some time, yes, it is. "
— Barbara, 9/16/2012 -
" Just a fun little read from one of my favorite authors. "
— TeriC, 9/2/2012 -
" Good quick weekend read. "
— Christine, 8/5/2012 -
" This book was as I expected. It was decent but nothing special. I noticed that Evanovich's typical cheesy dialogue became even more ridiculous when narrated. I actually laughed outloud because really, who talks like that? It would be an easy read but nothing worth remembering afterward. "
— Lesley, 4/21/2012 -
" Light and fun to read! "
— jR, 4/16/2012 -
" This one was neither funny or romantic. Just really cheesy. I have to say that I enjoy Janet Evanovich's books for light fun but this one really was pretty blah for me. I'm not sure I'd recommend it. "
— Amy, 3/30/2012 -
" Typical Janet Evanovich although she co-authored. A little funny, a little passion, a little drama/crime. Not bad. Easy to read. "
— Angel, 1/24/2012 -
" Not a bad read...it was amusing but a bit lacking to me in the romance department. It almost seemed too chipper and "fun". I would have liked a bit more drama to it and character development. "
— Brie, 1/13/2012 -
" I can't believe Janet Evanovich allowed herself to put her name on this book. After reading her other novels this one falls short in every poosible way. I know she can write better than this, it was truely dissapointing "
— Denise, 1/13/2012 -
" A really good book. One of those fun reads. "
— Tari, 12/27/2011
