Smitten by Janet Evanovich rounded down to 1 star

[Karin]

What a disappointment! For one thing, I made the mistake of starting with the audiobook, forgetting that I find the voice completely wrong for protagonists this age--she sounds like a heavy smoker who is over 50 and nothing like a 30 something woman. Plus I don't care for how it's read, either. I would have never liked a single Stephanie Plum book if I had listened to any of them.

This is not as good as the Stephanie Plum series (I tired of that because I got sick of the back and forth between the two men, no matter how sexy they are--that only works for so many books for me, and even then, most of the time I don't care for that highly overused trope anymore.) I did enjoy Elsie, but she isn't in it enough to save this for me. If I read another Evanovich, it will be a Stephanie Plum one, even though many times there isn't enough of her grandmother in them. Also, frankly, I found (view spoiler)[ the reason for the flasher inane and not at all funny. (hide spoiler)]
