Product Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a revised, repackaged novel sure to please her many fans. She writes "high speed comic mayhem" (Detroit Free Press); she's "a blast of fresh air" (Washington Post); "side-splitting funny" (Publishers Weekly) and "a winner" (Glamour). In other words, she's Janet Evanovich. Berry Knudson had a talent for disaster, but when she climbed a tree to rescue a kitten, she wasn't prepared for the scrumptious hunk undressing in a nearby window, or her dive downward that smashed Jake Sawyer's pizza and won his heart! But was there room in her chaotic schedule for a risk-taking inventor with dreams? She took classes, delivered pizzas, and cared for three eccentric old ladies she rescued from the train station. But Jake thrived on a challenge, and he could be very inventive. Could he teach her there was time to make butterscotch pudding and let herself be loved?

 "FLUFFY" AND FUN November 18, 2009
Bookworm (St. George Utah)
If you need a break from all those depressing books with "messages" or the grisly murder mysteries with a gallon of blood on every page and just want a bit of "fluff" to pass a few hours and give you a couple of chuckles then THE GRAND FINALE by Janet Evanovich might be just what the doctor ordered.
No Stephanie Plum in this tale. Instead, this story of a quirky divorcee who owns a pizza joint, attends college, rescues little old ladies living in bus stations and rates an above average in the klutz department is sure to provide a chuckle or two as well as some pretty HOT love scenes.
Berry Knudson is the gal with a genuine talent for calamity and while delivering a pizza she comes upon sexy hunk Jack Sawyer. This chance meeting is a bit unorthodox since it occurs when Berry accidently sees him undressing from her perfect perch in the branches of a tree. (Why she was up in the tree and what happens after she comes crashing into Jacks life is the basis for the story......and it's a hoot).
The Keystone Cops mis-adventures of Berry and Jack.......and their three little old ladies is an easy read that will keep you wondering what will happen next to this disaster prone group. This tome is guaranteed to give you a few laugh out loud moments as well as love scenes that promise long dreamy sighs. This is DEFINITELY a fantasy novel.
 Hilarious! September 30, 2009
H. Denard (Bruchmühlbach, Germany)
I dont know how Janet does it, but I just LOVE her books. She makes me laugh, she makes me cry, she really makes me love reading. Sometimes I even have to read an exerpt to my husband because I am laughing so hard.
If you like to read, Janet's books are for you.
Evanovich's books have the same story line, not my style! September 11, 2009
K. Jenkins
All of Evanovich's books have the same story line. Wealthy man, meets poor or struggling woman, they have sex and then they get married. This story line is nice once or twice, but you have to live in the real world, where the woman get's dumped, man gets laid-off, and believe it or not, there are a lot of poor and middle-class people.
Janet Evanovich's The Grande Finale August 8, 2009
P. Menuey (Minnesota)
Janet Evanovich's The Grande Finale was excellent. I'm a big fan of the Stephanie Plum series, but was not disappointed. Even Janet's earlier romance novels are entertaining to read and/or listen to. The books are funny and light hearted for ages 16-100 to enjoy. I recommend them to everyone. Even my husband enjoys to listen with me.
Delightful, Fun, Light Read July 11, 2009

First let me say I am a new J.E. reader having just been introduced to Stephanie Plum -- the reason I mention that is I'm thinking the readers who were so disappointed perhaps have their standards a bit too high after reading the Plum series. That said, I am not a *huge* romance fan in general, but I picked this up simply because of her name being on it (OK, that and the cute kitty on the cover!). I had fun reading this. Yes, it is a little dated, a little light on plot, but it is still enjoyable. It is fast and funny, just perfect for a summer lawn-chair read. It is like a sweet "PG-rated" romantic comedy film in book form. A "popcorn" book, I guess. Who doesn't like one of those as a guilty pleasure now and again? I sure do!
