Annie Fortenberry has inherited her grandmother's bed &
breakfast. It's probably Beaumont, South Carolina's most
unique B&B, unique in its brothel-like design and artwork,
which hasn't been touched since it was actually built as a
brothel many years before. And Annie's grandmother
stipulated in her will that it could not be altered.
Annie has regular tenants in her B&B, two older ladies and
a newly displaced psychic who works for Annie's best
friend, the owner of the local newspaper. Throw in a
drunken handyman, the two elders, the psychic and a
gorgeous hunk of a guy who shows up to rent a room at an
inopportune time, and you've got the mix for a grand time.
I forgot to mention there's a resident spirit in the house
with a little fetish.
Wes Bridges, the hunky Harley rider, has Annie checking the
weather reports to find out why it's so steamy in Beaumont,
at least at the Peach Tree B&B. Passion runs high on
Annie's priority list as she prepares for a millionaire's
wedding to be held at the B&B. However, with all the items
on her to-do list, Annie now must add finding out who
killed her ex-husband, who's just shown up after being
missing for three years, in her vegetable garden. And all
fingers point to her.
For you dog and cat lovers, there are a couple of cute
characters to chuckle and shake your head about. I laughed
and smiled all the way through this humorous and
entertaining story. The only sad thing about FULL BLOOM is
that I reached the last page and it ended. I was having too
much fun. Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes guarantee a
lot of fun for the reader. After reading it, I guarantee a
good time too.
Dear Reader,
The temperature's on "sizzle" again in Beaumont, South
Carolina, where peach trees are in season and ripe for the
picking. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry,
who has inherited her grandmother's B&B (and its eccentric
handyman Erdle Thorney). According to a local psychic she
also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel-
not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast
needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming
wedding! If rumors of a naughty, prank-playing ghost aren't
stressful enough, a mysterious man has arrived with an eye
on Annie and her master suite. Wes Bridges is all leather
and denim, sporting a two-day beard, straddling a Harley,
and sending the B&B's testosterone level through the roof.
Annie's cool demeanor may be dropping as fast as Wes's
jeans, but leave it to her missing ex-husband to dampen the
passion! Turns out someone has done him in, and all
evidence points to Annie! Wrapped up in a murder plot,
Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back
to where she was-wrapped up in Wes's strong loving arms...
We guarantee that you're going to have as much fun reading
Full Bloom as we had writing it! (Even if we were surprised
by the ending!) And you won't want to miss the hair-raising
shenanigans when Fleas, the hound dog, meets the most
cantankerous, snooty, bad-tempered, twenty-two pound orange
cat....
Janet and Charlotte
