In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote twelve short romance novels. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and every one of them. Nine of these stories were originally published by the Loveswept line between the years 1988 and 1992. All immediately went out of print and could be found only at used bookstores and yard sales.

I'm excited to tell you that those nine stories are now being re-released by HarperCollins. Back to the Bedroom is presented here in almost original form. I've done only minor editing to correct some embarrassing bloopers missed the first time around.

I lived in northern Virginia when I wrote Back to the Bedroom. My children were young, and we spent a lot of time visiting the Washington, D.C. museums and wandering through the historic neighborhoods. One day while strolling Capitol Hill I came upon two townhouses that captured my imagination. The houses were totally different -- a birthday cake of a house and a bran muffin of a house, and yet they shared a common wall. I wondered about the people who lived inside the houses. And eventually the houses inspired Back to the Bedroom.

Back to the Bedroom is the story of a young woman with the soul of a birthday cake living in a bran muffin house -- and a nice-looking guy with the substance of a bran muffin living in a birthday cake. They share some misadventures, some romantic moments, some misunderstandings, and ultimately they turn into wedding cake.

And for Plum fans, you'll be interested to find that this was the first of the four romances to feature Elsie Hawkins, the prototype for Grandma Mazur.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating:  out of 5 stars - The stupidest book I have ever read!
My review title says it all... this is the stupidest book I have ever read. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen but it never did. Don't waste your time or money.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - The same as the rest
Don't get me wrong, I love Janet Evanovich (although I have yet to begin the Plums series) but this book proved to me that her romance novels are all the same. I hope This doesn't spoil the book for you, but this is how they all go:

-Boy meets girl, its love at first sight.
-Something bad happens and they ended up living together.
-Girl decides that he's not right for her and they should just be friends.
-Boy keeps talking about marriage but girl isn't interested.

David Dodd is a happy go lucky guy that is perfectly content to hang out with his friends and read comic books for entertainment. He is a big kid who still loves the things that gave him such joy when he was a child. He has seen his neighbor Kathryn Finn come and go, but really knew nothing about her until one afternoon when something fell from the sky and crashed through her roof. The little glimpse he got of her made him want to get to know that crazy person better. Kate is a professional cellist ... Read More

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!



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Kittens,car crashes,fires,explosions,excellent sex!
Stop! Newsflash! Evanovich states in a little insert here that Elsie Hawkins - the eccentric elderly boarder with our heroine - is the prototype for (drumroll...) Grandma Mazur. Say no more! The book itself is pretty crazy. Cellist Katherine Finn - Kate - gets a terrible shock when a camera pod from a helicopter crashes through her roof - and the floor below, down onto her bed... Then it rains through the hole. Amazing stuff, really. Well, interested neighbour David Dodd witnesses all this - so it's a good ... Read More
