After reading Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Novels, I decided to look into her novellas. Foul Play focuses on Amy, a television star for a childrens; show who is replaced by a chicken named Red Hen, and Jake, a sexy vetinarian who falls in love with Amy the first time he sees her. Jake's character is refreshing, down to earth, and very likeable, while Amy's character somewhat prudish and cowardly. Still, thier relationship is full of sexual tension and cheesy banter, whcih I love!!!! I will continue to read her novellas and hope to find a favorite one. ( )

I like Janet Evanovich, but this particular book, one of her early romances, is like eating commercial icing out of the container. It needs some cake! The last chapter, nine, was especially poorly written. The book does show how far Evanovich has developed as a writer. ( )

This is one of Evanovich's fluffy screwball comedy/romances. Do not come looking for substance, but they are truly hilarious comfort reads without a lick of realism. Which was exactly what I needed at the time. This one takes place when the heroine loses her job to a chicken and a nice veterinarian comes to the rescue. Recommended for when you just want to laugh and believe the world is a nice place. ( )

This book delivered exactly what I expected. It was a quick, easy read. Evanovich's humorous plots always appeal to me--especially when I am too tired to focus on highly emotional, angst-ridden, and/or cerebral reading. ( )

Typical of the Evanovich romance books...cute and humorous. Not as funny as some of the others, but still a few good laughs. Amy has the "Stephanie Plum" feeling of being completely clumsy and accident-prone with trouble following her around...makes for a funny few scenes. A very quick read...short and fun. ( )
