    About this ebook

    For months he’d thought of her as the Mystery Woman, draped in a black velvet cloak, with outrageous red curls, flawless skin, and carrying a large, odd case — but the night David Dodd saw a helicopter drop a chunk of metal through the roof of his lovely neighbor’s bedroom, he got to meet the formidable and delightful Katherine Finn at last! Rescuing damsels and fixing roofs was dangerous work, he told her, and at the very least he deserved a kiss — didn’t he?

    Kate couldn’t argue with Dave’s logic, but how could she, the driven concert musician with more commitments than hours in the day, be falling head over heels for a likeable cuddler who seemed to be drifting through life? No one had ever made her feel as cherished or desirable, and she’d never had so much fun, but even though her eccentric boarder, Elsie, assured her that where Kate was concerned Dave had plenty of ambition, could she really love a guy who was just smart, sexy and rich?

      Silly story like you would expect from Janet Evanovich but a little to simple a romance.
    • 2/5
      I am a huge Stephanie Plum fan and have not do not like the Full series nearly as well. Not as funny and a little boring. It was OK, but would not recommend.

    • 3/5
      Janet Evanovich wrote nine short romances pre-Plum. She explains this at the front of all the re-released books that have been coming out at regular intervals. I think she realizes they aren't brilliant but that they are a fun quick read.Back to the Bedroom is about a very busy woman, Kate, who has no time for anything beyond work and chores. Her neighbor, Dave is the exact opposite. He's got nothing but time and he's all about having fun. Obviously they are attracted to each other. When her house sustains damage in a freak incident, Kate and Dave get closer as he tries to help her out by hiring construction workers, and allowing her to stay with him.Through a series of events, which are at best disjointed, the couple grow close, fall apart, grow close, fall apart, and eventually get their happy ending. It's not a great book. The plot is weak and the characters are cliche. That being said, if you are a fan of Evanovich, it's worth reading if you have the extra time. It was cute.
    • 4/5
      Fun book to listen to while walking for fitness. Doesn't take much concentration and has amusing situations. Workaloholic cello player meets her next door neighbor after a part of a helicopter falls through her roof. She thinks the complete opposites and totally incompatible and he thinks she's pretty cute. The rest of the book is spent winning her over.
    • 3/5
      This was a quick, fun read. There’s no deeper meaning, no seriousness, just a couple of seemingly incompatible people with great physical chemistry who are thrown into an unbelievable situation. This is very typical Evanovich, full of wild, over-the-top scenarios. After all, there’s nothing quite like meeting your girlfriend’s parents for the first time while there’s a drug bust going on across the street. This is a perfect book for a hot afternoon at the beach.
    • 5/5
      This is one of Janet's older books that she is re-releasing. This is a light hearted plot with fun characters. It's a quick read so pick it up for the weekend!
    • 3/5
      fun, flirty and sexy. no thought required- perfect for a lazy afternoon. i liked it
    • 4/5
      Part of a helicopter fell through her roof, making her week complete. Hearing the crash, David Dodd made his way to his neighbors house only to find that Katherine Finn knew less about it than he did. Busy person was an understatement, Kate was constantly running from lessons, to rehearsal to performances, so Dave took control of covering and repairing the roof, but he also took her to his house when things seemed to get dangerous. Men in the yard, men on the roof, even Kate’s new roommates (Elsie Hawkins) fondness for large gun didn’t make any of them feel safer. As another of Janet Evanovich’s re-releases (pre-Stephanie Plum) (originally published in 1989), this one is typical of the contemporary romance with the comedy, timing and the far fetched situation that surrounds Dave and Kate. Although I will never forget the helicopter part (camera mount) falling in the house, the rest is of a basic romance quality - fun while it lasts but not much more.
    • 3/5
      This is my first Janet Evanovich book and I think I have a toothache from the sweet, sweet fluff. I read romance purely for entertainment value. It doesn't need to make me think, and that's a good thing because this book has absolutely no substance. It's like cotton candy. Sweet and enjoyable but not very filling and too much might make you sick. I will keep this author in mind when I am craving some literary cotton candy but will look elsewhere for the meat and potatoes of my reading experiences.
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars, this was so funny I glad I picked it up.
    • 4/5
      OK, this is just undeniably cute and clever

      I 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!
