The "Dog Lady" of radio station WZZZ, free-spirited Daisy Adams figures anything has to beat pushing tasty canine recipes over the airwaves. So when a slot for a roving traffic reporter opens, Daisy jumps at it-- despite the fact that she's already juggling about fifteen other jobs. The new one comes with a raise and more responsibility. It also comes with a hands-on boss, hunky operations manager Steve Crow. When Daisy turns into a media darling after inadvertently foiling a major criminal's getaway, Steve decides it's his duty to protect her, bringing him even farther into the tangled web of her maddeningly overextended life. But Daisy's got far too much going on to get involved in extracurricular activities-- like falling in love.
This was my first Evanovich, and I can understand why so many people love her so much. All the characters jumped right off the page. I meanthere is a gorgeous rich guy with a heart of gold, a sweet overworked young woman who puts everyone else first, a teenage boy who will eat anything, a psycho granny with a gun and of course the adorable Bob dog. The story was simple and easy to follow, with love, romance and intrigue and a few bad guys thrown in. The plot developed really nicely, although the ending of the 'baddie' storyline was a bit abrupt (but very entertaining!).I could relate to Daisy really well as her life was as hectic as mine! Janet Evanovich has created some adorable characters that kept me wanting more, and for a compact little book, this was a corker! I shall certainly be on the lookout for more of her books!
