Synopsis

Dear Reader,The temperature's on "sizzle" again in Beaumont, South Carolina, where peach trees are in season and ripe for the picking. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her grandmother's B&B (and its eccentric handyman Erdle Thorney). According to a local psychic she also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel-not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding! If rumors of a naughty, prank-playing ghost aren't stressful enough, a mysterious man has arrived with an eye on Annie and her master suite. Wes Bridges is all leather and denim, sporting a two-day beard, straddling a Harley, and sending the B&B's testosterone level through the roof. Annie's cool demeanor may be dropping as fast as Wes's jeans, but leave it to her missing ex-husband to dampen the passion! Turns out someone has done him in, and all evidence points to Annie! Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back to where she was-wrapped up in Wes's strong loving arms...We guarantee that you're going to have as much fun reading Full Bloom as we had writing it! (Even if we were surprised by the ending!) And you won't want to miss the hair-raising shenanigans when Fleas, the hound dog, meets the most cantankerous, snooty, bad-tempered, twenty-two pound orange cat....Janet and Charlotte

From AudioFile:

This little romantic mystery doesn't take itself too seriously, and the result is delightful. Lorelei King lends sparkle to the fifth book in Evanovich and Hughes's "Full" series. King portrays B&B owner Annie Fortenberry with natural confidence. When Annie accidentally whacks a handsome Harley-riding visitor with a rolling pin, sparks fly. The steamy romance is interrupted by the discovery of a body in Annie's garden that turns out to be her philandering husband. King provides a sultry voice for Annie's psychic friend, Destiny, and skillfully differentiates Annie and her best friend, Jamie. Aside from the high-pitched squeak used for Annie's elderly boarder, King capably brings the parade of wacky characters to life.
