I'm still trying to decide if I love this series or not. There are things about the books I don't like but so far, the positives have out-weighed the negatives. I've ordered the next four in the series so I should have an answer to that question soon enough.

I'm not sure why I keep listening to the series. Perhaps it's the candy corn effect - the candy I don't really like, but still find myself nibbling, particularly after picking up the first.
Apparently men find women who are prickly, secretive, fashionistas, and in debt beyond comprehension to be irresistible. There's Peter, her rich, first love; Jack, the detective who is trying to apprehend her father; and Cooper, the former ME-turned-body-mover who is turning out to be a man of many ...more

This book starts exactly at the moment the first, Body Movers, leaves off with a phone call from her errant, bail-jumping father. Carlotta drops the phone and through a series of unfortunate incidents is unable to take the call. Her life becomes more complicated as her identity is stolen and her double winds up dead.

Carlotta is one lady who can't keep herself out of trouble. Her brother, Wesley, is one messed up dude. Gambling, loan sharks, drinking, computer fraud. The list just goes on and on. Carlotta finds herself mixed up in murders, both as a suspect and a potential victim which she feels it necessary to solve. She has three men chasing her - her ex-fiance, her brother's boss (Cooper) and the cop set on capturing her fugitive father. And if that's not enough, she has a double who has stolen her...more

#2 Body Movers series - mystery/romance
07/10 Rereading for the fun of it!
#2 in the Carlotta Wren "sexy mystery" series that's tops on my list of series reading :-)
Carlotta Wren's life is a mess. Her father & mother skipped bail on investment fraud charges 10 years ago, leaving her to raise her then 9 year old brother Wesley. Now Wesley's bright mind is sidetracked by his gambling addiction, which has led to trouble with loan sharks and the law.

If you're looking to read a fun mystery...then this IS the series for you! I have finally found an author my niece and I can share!! So get the rest of the books out Brandy, I want to borrow them!!! I want to back track and read the first one now...I have to read that one before I go further with this series. These books are fun and the quickest read I've ever read! If you are looking for some serious CSI type stuff...forget it...but if you want to just sit back, relax and read an entertaining b...more

The storyline is actually much better this time. It's got a lot of depth and everything is well-rounded including the characters. It's also a fast-paced read so you'll finish it in no time. This book actually managed to hold my attention! But by the end, I wasn't too interested as the person behind the identity theft ring is revealed because it was sort of bland and 2D. Nonetheless, there's a lot of action you can't miss out and I kinda recommend it! It was absorbing but not overly so. It was an...more
This is a fun series, and I'm really starting to connect with the characters and care about them. She uses a lot of the same phrases over and over again though. This one picked up right where the first one left off. There were some sexier moments in this book. Wesley gets into a lot of trouble, as usual. Carlotta has a lot to think about, that's for sure! It also had a Stephanie Plum moment at the Elton John concert. Too funny!
Not sure what to expect from this book, just picked it up at the library in CD to listen on a road trip. Wish I would have had the first one to start with, but I enjoyed it. I'm a huge mystery book fan so it fit that like, not a romance reader, but luckily there was only one scene of sexualness which was enough for me. I plan to read the rest of the series.
I started out this book thinking I wasn't going to be able to relate to it's main character, Carlotta. She was an ex-rich girl with knowledge of name brands and I thought she was going to be shallow, but she surprised me. It was a cute, chick-lit mystery, with never a dull moment! I am going to go back and read the first in the series along with the one(s?) since this one. Fun book!

Carlotta is back, along with her funky Goth best friend Hannah, genuius brother Wesley, contrite ex-fiancee Peter, sexy Detective Jack, and intriguing body mover, Coop. Her parents are still at large and her father's guilt is still in question.
This is a fun read for those who will recognize the Atlanta landmarks sprinkled into the plot (in that sense it reminds me of the wonderful Kathy Hogan Trochek's Callahan Garrity series) and for those who enjoyed Bond's first book, The Body ...more

We pick up here right where the last book ended and take off at frantic speed! Carlotta has 3 hunky guys (well 2, Peter doesn't do it for me) after her, her identity gets stolen, she gets to go to her own funeral..... Come on... you know you wanna see how THAT works right?
Not quite as good as Stephanie Plum as far as witty writing, but the occasional r-rated scene makes up for it I think. :-)
Why can't I read the 1st one? Why did it go out of print but the other 5 are in print? And why doesn't the local library carry any of this series?

Just found a great new author to add to my list of favorites! A great "fluff" book with enough character development and plot twists to make it fun to read and hard to put down. Nothing deep or heavy, just a great mystery/romance. Will definitely be picking up the next in the series!
I like this series...even though they have a bit of sex. I can't figure out why so many authors don't think we can use our own imaginations in this regard and feel they have to spell out everything step by step. This book is a continuing story so, onto the next volume... I like the characters and the story plot.
I really like the secondary characters especially Coop. The series is compelling and funny. However Carlotta needs to make something happen. She is continually reacting. I have number 3. So I am still keeping hope!
Read the 2nd book in the series and enjoyed it as much as the 1st book. I liked that it didn't have a complicated story line to follow and was an easy book to pick up back up to continue to read.
I listen to these on audio books. They are a good listen for light entertainment. The characters are unique and well written and the plot line is refreshing.
I laugh the whole time I read this series. I have already decided which of the 3 of the men in her life I want her to be with-why hasn't she figured it out yet?! Great action-I love the scene where she is in the theatre. I did not suspect the culprit at the end until they were having the final dialogue-what a great twist!
Enjoyable series so far. I'm off to buy Book 3!
PS: Not sure who I'd choose between her three men either! OKay, make that two...playboy is out!

Body Movers is a series and should be read in order. They get into "situations" and struggle to get themselves out of it.
Carlotta is just a magnificent magnet for danger! I LOVE IT! Now, if she would just choose the RIGHT GUY!!! LOL!
Bond keeps the pace frantic, the plot tight and the laughs light, and supplies a cliffhanger ending.

I liked the first one better, but it is still a great read. Funny, heart-warming, sexy, and a good mystery.
Continues with the same characters. Only a few days have elapsed in the narrative since the last book.
I think this series is really fun reading. Each book ends with a cliffhanger that makes you want to hurry and read the next one!
This was funny and exciting. It's the first of the series I had read and made me want more.
The obligatory sex scene was just that. But I enjoyed the plot and the characters. Entertaining.

But Stephanie, a voracious reader, was only interested in writing fiction--more specifically, romantic fiction. Upon completing her master's degree and with no formal training in writing (...more
