Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich

First in the Alex Barnaby series. Great new Heroine. Fun read, classic Evanovich. Mystery, mayhem, car chases, hit men, hot girls and NASCAR guy.
As it advertises "Creative cussing and sexual innuendo included."

3 quotes to remember. The first on page 21, kind of deep actually for a light, easy book.


He had a reputation for being a fearless driver, but I didn't buy into the
fearless thing. Everyone knew fear. It was the reaction that made
the
difference. Some people hated fear and avoided the experiencce.
Some people
endured it as a necessity. And some people became addicted to
the rush. I
was betting Hooker fell into the last category
.


Next starting on page 159.


Men never cease to amze me. I remembered reading somewhere a description
of men and women in terms of boxes. The female box had a bunch of knobs
and buttons and complicated instructions. And the male box had an off/on switch. That was it. Just a single switch.
Hooker's switch was always turned to on.


Thats it in a nutshell folks.
Now page 212, just for fun.


"Good thing you're such a tough guy," I said to Hooker.
"Yeah," he said. "And I'm going to protect you, too. Both of
you. You're going to have to hold still, thought. I can't protect
you when you keep spinning like that."
"Hang on. I'm going to take you to the emergency room."
"That's nice," Hooker said. "I like going places with you."


Lots more good stuff in the book. I highly recommend it, but only to people who aren't squeemish or easily offended, so actually I guess most of my aquaintences wouldn't like it.
*sigh*
