This tome is guaranteed to give you a few laugh out loud moments as well as love scenes that promise long dreamy sighs. This chance meeting is a bit unorthodox since it occurs when Berry accidently sees him undressing from her perfect perch in the branches of a tree. (Why she was up in the tree and what happens after she comes crashing into Jacks life is the basis for the story.and it's a hoot).The Keystone Cops mis-adventures of Berry and Jack.and their three little old ladies is an easy read that will keep you wondering what will happen next to this disaster prone group. If you need a break from all those depressing books with "messages" or the grisly murder mysteries with a gallon of blood on every page and just want a bit of "fluff" to pass a few hours and give you a couple of chuckles then THE GRAND FINALE by Janet Evanovich might be just what the doctor ordered. This is DEFINITELY a fantasy novel. Instead, this story of a quirky divorcee who owns a pizza joint, attends college, rescues little old ladies living in bus stations and rates an above average in the klutz department is sure to provide a chuckle or two as well as some pretty HOT love scenes. No Stephanie Plum in this tale. Berry Knudson is the gal with a genuine talent for calamity and while delivering a pizza she comes upon sexy hunk Jack Sawyer.
Sometimes I even have to read an exerpt to my husband because I am laughing so hard.If you like to read, Janet's books are for you. I dont know how Janet does it, but I just LOVE her books. She makes me laugh, she makes me cry, she really makes me love reading.
This story line is nice once or twice, but you have to live in the real world, where the woman get's dumped, man gets laid-off, and believe it or not, there are a lot of poor and middle-class people. All of Evanovich's books have the same story line. Wealthy man, meets poor or struggling woman, they have sex and then they get married.
The books are funny and light hearted for ages 16-100 to enjoy. Janet Evanovich's The Grande Finale was excellent. Even my husband enjoys to listen with me. I recommend them to everyone. I'm a big fan of the Stephanie Plum series, but was not disappointed. Even Janet's earlier romance novels are entertaining to read and/or listen to.
Who doesn't like one of those as a guilty pleasure now and again. A "popcorn" book, I guess. It is like a sweet "PG-rated" romantic comedy film in book form.
reader having just been introduced to Stephanie Plum -- the reason I mention that is I'm thinking the readers who were so disappointed perhaps have their standards a bit too high after reading the Plum series. Yes, it is a little dated, a little light on plot, but it is still enjoyable. First let me say I am a new J.E.
It is fast and funny, just perfect for a summer lawn-chair read. I sure do. That said, I am not a *huge* romance fan in general, but I picked this up simply because of her name being on it (OK, that and the cute kitty on the cover).
I had fun reading this.
