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)

The Rocky Road to Romance Listener Reviews

" 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. "
— Dawn, 2/20/2014 -
" I hate to rate this one too low because I just don't enjoy this kind of romance books. However, if you are into romance books, you would probably like it. "
— Kathryn, 2/16/2014 -
" 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. "
— Kathryn, 2/15/2014 -
" A light reading quirky book. "
— Dawn, 2/4/2014 -
" This was so funny, I think I should have known better to listen to this book while at work. Granted there were some parts that I felt dragged on, but for the most part I was laughing so hard I wanted to cry "
— Brandy, 1/28/2014 -
" Light-hearted bit of fluff...some humorous characters...not much to this one. "
— Trudy, 1/22/2014 -
" Started this book at 12:45am becasue I couldn't sleep. I was laughin by toosh off within minuets. It was hilarious, and a good clean romance. "
— Jeannette, 1/22/2014 -
" I finished this today...it was a cute fun read! "
— Melissa, 1/20/2014 -
" I laughed all the way through it "
— Jan, 1/12/2014 -
" 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. "
— Nancy, 12/30/2013 -
" This book was a very quick read, but funny and cute. I really enjoyed it. "
— Samantha, 12/23/2013 -
" Janet Evanovich is an easy read and alway light and enjoyable. Her characters are colorful and always interesting. If you want some fun, read any of her books. "
— Barbara, 12/18/2013 -
" 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! "
— Arica, 12/16/2013 -
" 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. "
— Erica, 12/14/2013 -
" Another very funny Janet Evanovich book. I love reading all her stand alone books. I'm trying to read them all before I start on her series' books. "
— Kristen, 12/10/2013 -
" A fluff read to hold me over until I decided what I really wanted to read. Nothing special. "
— Kellie, 12/10/2013 -
" One of the first of her romances that a read through a robin on bookcrossing.com "
— Sue, 10/30/2013 -
" 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. "
— Jennifer, 10/30/2013 -
" The good news is I wasn't expecting much! I just needed a quick read. "
— Aurora, 7/2/2013 -

— Laura, 6/8/2013 -
" A goofy tale of a girl who realizes that what she wants is succeptible to change. "
— Jean, 6/1/2013 -
" Listened to this one on tape. I especially like CJ Critt the reader and her cute New Jersey accent. This is a little different from the bounty hunter tales, but just as entertaining. "
— Rita, 4/22/2013 -
" It was a typical Evanovich book. Funny but mindless. "
— Renee, 1/8/2013 -

" Good read, but a predictable ending. "
— Linda, 1/6/2011 -
" OMG this is terrible. Clearly the idea of Stephanie Plum and her crazy sidekick and Bob the dog came from this piece of crap. Avoid at all costs! "
— Danielle, 1/4/2011 -
" Great characters in this book. Bob and Kevin had me laughing every time they were in a scene. "
— Shannon, 11/26/2010 -
" I could easily relate to Daisy the overachieving min character of this story. I also loved the rest of the gang as usual! Janet Evanovich writes a story that always funny and entertaining. She may not win a Pulitzer but she touches people and makes life a little more humorous! "
