Back to the Bedroom audiobook

4.5 Stars for Back to the Bedroom: Elsie Hawkins, Book 1 (audiobook) by Janet Evanovich read by C. J. Critt. This was a fun start to a new series. I think great that the author is adding classical music to the story line. It’s interesting to see how her characters are becoming more complex.

Cute love story! One if the few that I have read by Janet Evanovich with dual first-person perspective. I love hearing the thoughts of the hero and heroine. Wouldn't it be great to hear the thoughts of Ranger and Morelli in the Stephanie Plum novels?

OK, this is just undeniably cute and cleverI have been an Evanovich fan for a long time. Her stories are strong, well written, and have women characters that are realistic. They have trouble with money, men, jobs, all those things that the rest of us have problems with. Her books are side splittingly funny, and contain the occassional explosion. Hey, who can't love a woman who blows things up?This is a very early work, and shows how Janet got her start. I won't go over the story line, as it is quite a short book, and I am sure other people have done it. My take on it is how nice it is to see that Ms. Evanovich has always had a sense of humour with her writing. This little story is rediculous in it's own way when it comes to the story line, but you can't help but be pulled in and then to roll over with true belly laughs while you are being led along. Take a Type A workaholic female musician, a Type "Who cares?" toy collector, drop in an elderly woman with a huge "hankie" (and the will to use it!), an hysterical dinner party, a kidnapping, an explosion, and several cats . . . well, you will understand when you read it. And don't fail to read it - it will lighten your whole day!

There were a few annoying bits, but overall, this was very funny. I read that this was written before the Stephanie Plum series, and that Grandma Mazer was based off of Elsie and when I was reading it, that's exactly who I pictured when Elsie was introduced. She's a gun toting senior with lots of humor. I loved it!

Warm and fuzzy feels.I wanted to stay in this romance longer. The opposites attract plot took on a fresh face as a passionate classical musican falls for a man with zero ambition. He doesn’t have a job. Several times while reading I put down this novel to burst into laughter! Don’t miss this gem of a story,

laughed out loud so hard and long at the car repair place, everyone wanted to know what I was readingFor example, here are several quotes I saved (I collect them for rainy days...):"Just because we're engaged doesn't mean you can take liberties.""Too late. I've already taken all your liberties.."And "it's hard to think straight when you're filling me with all your glory."If you like this non-gross but very light-hearted banter, you will like this book. I clearly did. Thanks, JE

I might of read this book before. Parts of sounded familiar. Love this author so worth it to read it again.

Breezy and delightful first novel from this wonderful author. So light it could float, I enjoyed the characters a lot.

Easy read. Pages just kept turning.

We see Grandma Mazures prototype in this fun quirky book! I am not sure how I missed this classic Evanovich? I enjoyed this book because it showed her young unpolished writing!

Lighthearted, sweet romance.

Yes another good one!I thought that I had read all of Janet Evanovich's backlist. I was wrong. And not disappointed by this earlier book.
