1) Audio Cassette Book Love Overboard by HarperAudio. This has a "Harlequin Romance" vibe that would normally send me screaming in the other direction, but given that it´s Janet Evanovich, I was intrigued. I read this in a different way than others might, I think. This was a chance to see Evanovich´s writing style in its infancy, before she became the publishing phenomenon that she is today, with the fantastically popular Stephanie Plum novels. The humor is there, but a bit more rough, and the romance is more pronounced than it has since become.
Stephanie (see, even that started early on) is in the difficult position of having to be a ship´s cook for Ivan, who runs a old-fashioned cruise. You know by the end of page one that these two are going to be together - the fun is in finding out just how that will happen. The resolution is, well, trite. Oh well. It´s still Evanovich, and even subpar Evanovich can make you laugh out loud.¤ 2) Audio Cassette Book Love Overboard by HarperAudio. Ivan Rasmussen has a 19th century schooner that he charters for short cruises during the warm months of the year. He has a regular crew that he works with, but the person he ended up with in his galley was an acquaintance Stephanie Lowe, and she knew nothing about cooking with an old wood stove. It turns out his normal cook, Lucy, decided to get married, and Steph was covering her shifts in exchange for plumbing services provided by the new groom. Ivan and Steph felt an immediate attraction, but there were many reasons they couldn´t get involved. The main reason was that Steph had already thrown herself at him, and he turned her down. Then there was the fact that Ivan didn´t want a committed relationship - he is a direct descendent of a pirate, and Steph was just getting on her feet after being an undercover cop for years. There was also the issue that Steph just purchased Ivan´s family home - Haben. Who knew working this one-week could last so long?
Steph was getting Haben ready to turn into a B&B when Ivan turns up. He makes her a proposition. He needs a place to stay for the off-season and she needs a handyman. His real agenda is to seduce her, and make her realize she can´t live without him. How far would he go to get his beloved family home Haben back? When a corpse is found and makes appearances, Steph starts to wonder.
Entertaining and funny. A lot of laugh out loud moments!¤ 3) Audio Cassette Book Love Overboard by HarperAudio. It´s interesting to see how Evanovich´s writing has evolved, since this is one of her early works. It´s an entertaining, light read, laugh-out-loud in a couple of places. If your expectations aren´t too high given the Stephanie Plum series, you´ll enjoy this book while you wait for #14 to arrive!¤ 4) Audio Cassette Book Love Overboard by HarperAudio. I have read all of the Janet Evanovich books starring Stephanie Plum, but I had not realized that she wrote romance novels. I ordered all and read them all! I absolutely loved them. Within the first page or two you always knew who was going to fall in love, but that did not ruin the fun in watching get to the end of their journeys together. These are books that I will lend to all of my friends and family!¤ 5) Audio Cassette Book Love Overboard by HarperAudio. I just finished this book and I am so happy that it was released again. Stephanie Lowe (not Plum) needs her toilet fixed. She agrees to take her cousin´s place cooking on board the ship called "Savage" in exchange for the plumbing work. In true Evanovich form, Stephanie is hilariously imperfect and gets into all kinds of trouble. That trouble includes one hunky ship´s captain named Ivan, and the sexy part of the book begins.
In short, I loved it!
Secrets and Sacrifices¤ 6) Audio Cassette Book Love Overboard by HarperAudio. Stephanie Lowe decides Maine schooner captain and pirate descendent Ivan Rasmussen deserves to be called Ivan the Terrible. The house she just bought from him is falling apart and possibly haunted. He complains about her fish-eye stew and burnt chocolate chip cookies. He makes fun of her hair after she´s had to comb it while using a toaster as a mirror. And on top of all that, he has the nerve to be charming, handsome and overboard in love with her. This is one pirate captain who is determined to acquire the treasure of a lifetime. Performed by C.J.
