Evanovich creates a crazy plot that has a ton of laughs while you are trying to figure out what the heck is happening. Cate finds herself in the middle of a mess when: 1) Marty goes away suddenly 2) She gets a new dog delivered 3) She is being targeted by a man named Pug And most importantly 4) There is a man at her bar that is making her interested in more than serving him drinks. She is renting a room from Marty, who is a very talented drag queen who performs at the bar she works at. The story revolves around the female MC who is bartending while she is trying to finish college. It was read by Lorelei King who is the narrator who also does the Charlie Davidson books so to me - she does a phenomenal job. This was a shorter story that is a stand alone and not a part of the Stephanie Plum books. It's been a while since I've read a book by this author and I forgot how she can make me laugh. The south side of Boston has never been wilder. Soon Cate finds herself in deep trouble with mysterious stalkers, a lovesick would-be boyfriend named Patrick Pugg, two friends who are looking for love, and the very sexy, possibly dangerous Kellen McBride.

Problem is, he's turning up the heat in her life - in more ways than one. But is he just there for the beer? Or does he have an ulterior motive for getting close to Cate? When Cate comes home to a ransacked apartment, she realizes Kellen knows more than he's saying.

All she wants is peace and quiet and a nice place to live while she saves her money from tending bar in a lively Boston pub. Her wacky Irish family is constantly playing matchmaker for her with men who leave much to be desired.
