Product Description
Dear Reader:
Mercury's in retrograde, and folks in Beaumont, South Carolina are dealing with gossip, scandal, misunderstandings, and more secrets than ever. Local pediatrician Maggie Farnsworth has even bigger worries. Her wild-girl past has caught up with her in the form of her ex-boyfriend, a jailbird who just flew the coop--and is bent on tracking down Maggie and her daughter. Fortunately, FBI agent Zack Madden is on hand for protection. Unfortunately, his presence is turning up the heat on an attraction Maggie simply has no time for...or does she? But Maggie and Zack aren't the only ones getting busy: Fleas, the hound dog, is up to his old tricks--this time with Butterbean, a very allluring...goat? Jamie Swift and millionaire Max Holt have babies on the brain. And resident psychic-slash-astrologer Destiny is fighting a crush of her own. Since the town's ice cream parlor is a magnet for gossip, no one can keep a secret and the sticky situations are getting even stickier... It's the wildest time yet in the town we love to write about, with the characters we can't get enough of. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a FULL SCOOP of fun, adventure, and romance.
Janet and Charlotte

 Avoid this partnership if you are an Evanovich fan July 11, 2008

This is the third book by this partnership I've skimmed. They are not worth the time even to skim. The characters are cartoonish and idiotic as well. The slapstick is galling rather than amusing. Avoid.
Listening not so great June 21, 2008

Lorilei King needs to get some new voices. Apparently she thinks all black women sound alike and so do old quirky people
 Fun, Suspense and Romance April 29, 2008

If you are looking for deep literature, this series is not for you. But if you want fun and adventure, mixed in with some romance, then by all means read the "Full" series by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes. Full Scoop is another fun addition to the series, this time focusing on pediatrician Maggie Davenport and FBI agent Zack Madden. Max, Jamie and Fleas are supporting characters again.
 a full scoop of what? November 5, 2007

I'm a huge Evanovich fan. Her books are my equivalent of a sorbet to cleanse the palate between tomes on the Dead Sea Scrolls, or David McCollough's hernia-inducing book on the Panama Canal. I also enjoy Lorelei King's audiobook readings. So, 1+1 should have equaled 2. Not in this case. Here 1+1=0.
The basis for the plot, that Maggie can't leave town to avoid the crazed escaped convict/killer makes no sense. She's a doctor and can't leave her practice because "half the kids in town seemed to have colds". Had that been bubonic plague, I could understand her reluctance to leave her patients in the lurch, but colds? Also, she's afraid she'll lose patients. Well, given what goes on in the first few chapters, she definitely needs to lose some of her patients. The FBI could send in an agent, but couldn't sub in a doctor? And we're supposed to believe that the FBI sent in an agent with a publicly known personal stake in terminating the bad guy?
Maggie had a child with the convict back in high school. She lives in a small town in SC. We're supposed to believe that no one ever bothered to inform the child that 1) her mom had at one time been involved with the killer of an FBI agent or 2) that she's the illegitimate child of said killer? Wow! That's some non-gossipy town!
Skip this one. All the rave reviews from newspapers, etc. posted on the page for this book are for another book in the series. Perhaps the others in the series are better.
 Exciting! June 12, 2007

This was a fun book to read - the plot was full or action and suspense, and the romance was very cute and natural! I related to the way Maggie wanted to protect her daughter at all costs, and the rebellious, smart-mouthed attitude of Melanie was familiar to me too.
