Publisher Description

“[Evanovich] is funny and ceaselessly inventive." —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Do yourself a favor and read this one.” —Washington Post

The author of so many spectacularly successful mystery novels featuring the inimitable Stephanie Plum, #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich displays a more playfully romantic side with The Rocky Road to Romance. Evanovich delights with a classic, pre-Plum contemporary romance novel that’s sure to please—a lighthearted tale of three-way love affair involving a radio “dog lady”-turned-traffic reporter, her handsome program director, and a huge couch potato canine named Bob.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is one of the early Evanovich romances, and it has a dog named Bob and an old lady with a big gun, Elsie, who is the prototype for Grandma Mazur only a bit younger and more able. It made me laugh and smile and share some of the witty dialogue with my husband."

— Helen (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I did enjoy this funny fast paced story with my favorite plot of male pursuing female, although I did roll my eyes a couple times. Over-worked Daisy studying for dissertation learns of better paying job opening as traffic reporter and convinces program director Steve to hire her. "

    " One of Evanovich's first novels. Not one of her best. Okay. It's a predictable romance. The old lady is the germ of the idea for Stephanie Plum's grandmother in her later series, though. "

    " This was a cute, quick read in typical Evanovich style. I loved the old lady who was the guard - she reminds me of Grandma Mazur in the Stephanie Plum novels. Evanovich has a talent for creating great and funny old-lady characters in the midst of good plots. "

    " Cute... like all of Janet's books. However Daisy is probably my least favorite female main charactor. Dog named Bob... always a big hit for me. And "Aunt Ellsie" is a hoot! "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This book is a typical early version Janet Evanovich. If you like her Plum series, you'll enjoy these. However, since they are books from before the Plum series, they are a little flat. This one needed a little bit more meat around it, but it was good for a day or two at the beach. "

    " Screwball romantic comedy. Not the best Evanovich book I have read by a long shot, but it is one of her earlier works and it was breezy and fun. Great for the bathtub or with a glass of wine while curled up on the couch after a shit week. "
