Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a revised, repackaged novel sure to please her many fans. She writes ""high speed comic mayhem"" (Detroit Free Press); she's ""a blast of fresh air"" (Washington Post); ""side-splitting funny"" (Publishers Weekly) and ""a winner"" (Glamour). In other words, she's Janet Evanovich.
Berry Knudson had a talent for disaster, but when she climbed a tree to rescue a kitten, she wasn't prepared for the scrumptious hunk undressing in a nearby window, or her dive downward that smashed Jake Sawyer's pizza and won his heart! But was there room in her chaotic schedule for a risk-taking inventor with dreams? She took classes, delivered pizzas, and cared for three eccentric old ladies she rescued from the train station. But Jake thrived on a challenge, and he could be very inventive. Could he teach her there was time to make butterscotch pudding and let herself be loved?

— Jenn, 10/22/2013 -

" Rather slow without as much substance as some of her other books. A lot of useless prittle prattle. Not one of my favorites. "
— Nikki, 1/14/2012 -
" It was so cute! Full of her endless humor and romantic wit. A very enjoyable read. "

" Very fluffy. It was very predictable, but fun. "
— Bess(ie), 7/2/2011 -
" A very light read. Same kind of humorous she usually writes with but not with Stephanie as the character. "
— Ann, 5/26/2011 -
" I checked out this book not knowing it was a Romance. Apparently Janet Evanovich wrote "scintilating romances" before Stephanie Plum. I was not impressed with this story and the quality of writing was not typical of Evanovich. I'll stick to Stephanies mysteries rather than these Harlequin romances. "
— Shanna, 5/22/2011 -
" fluffy, predictable romance, but with Janet Evanovich humor (only redeeming factor) "
— Teresa, 4/29/2011 -
" What is with all these romance novels?! I knew she used to write romance but I thought this was a newer book (ebook). You can see a bit of the Plum humor but still a silly romance novel. I've got to screen my book selections better! "
— Theresa, 4/27/2011 -
" Usually I like her books, this was funny, but the situation that the main charature gets herself in is, well, pretty far fetched, though seems to be a theme in her earlier romance novels. Still, it was entertaining. "
— Elizabeth, 4/23/2011 -
" Berry Knudson had a talent for disaster, but when she climbed a tree to rescue a kitten, she wasn't prepared for the scrumptious hunk undressing in a nearby window, or her dive downward that smashed Jake Sawyer's pizza and won his heart "

— Kel, 12/23/2010 -
" LS#254 Fun - not as good as later books. "
— Ruth, 12/22/2010 -
" Rather slow without as much substance as some of her other books. A lot of useless prittle prattle. Not one of my favorites. "
— Nikki, 12/4/2010 -
" Not quite as enjoyable as the Stephanie Plum series but still light hearted and a happy ending! "
— Shannon, 12/1/2010 -
" This book was... odd. The conflict was really forced and it ended very abruptly. Not a very interesting journey for the characters. "
— Tara, 11/26/2010 -
" I had read this before, I think last February but didn't add it to my goodreads list for some reason. This time I listened on audio and oddly enough I think I liked it in print more than on audio. It's a cute story and I liked the characters, its a fun and quick read. "
— Maggie, 11/20/2010 -
" Really, same old plot, different characters. "
— Amanda, 11/18/2010
