نقد و بررسی
With surprising ease, Lorelei King depicts a colorful cast of characters that include Mafia hit men, a corrupt preacher, and wealthy, debonair Max Holt. There's plenty of sexual tension between reporter Jamie Swift and playboy Holt. She's after the story of a lifetime; he's right in the middle of it. King easily switches accents and personalities, carrying the listener into this charming romantic suspense. She excels in her portrayal of Muffin, a car computer with Marilyn Monroe's voice. The Full series continues to enchant listeners. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

In this sequel to Full Tilt, Jamie Swift is on the run from Beaumont, SC, and her job as a newspaper editor and reporter. Millionaire Max Holt owns the newspaper and follows Jamie to Sweetpea, TN. Jamie and Max pose as a married couple to track down the criminal who has threatened Max; a talking computer named Muffin and a dog named Fleas accompany them. Jamie pretends to be a sex addict to trick an evangelist into giving her information, and Max has ample opportunity to use his skills with technology. This series lacks creativity and humor and is quite inferior to Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels. There don't seem to be any sparks between Max and Jamie, though there are many implausible characters and situations. Lorelei King, the narrator for both recordings, reads competently and with enthusiasm. The BBC version has sturdy library packaging; the Audio Renaissance tapes will need to be repackaged for heavy use. Public libraries should buy where demand warrants.-Mary Knapp, Madison P.L., WI
