I really enjoyed "Full Scoop."
Having picked this book up, from the middle of a set, I had some catching up to do concerning the characters from previous "Full" books, but I thought the authors handled that very well.
I love the caracters, family, neighbors and friends, and can identify, as will many, with the mother-daughter drama that happens when a bubbley affectionate child becomes a new teen, resentful and disrespectful of her loving mother. and suddenly the "happy home" is full of rebellion and frustration from both generations.
(I like how that was presented from both sides. And who among us can remember how our own mothers embarrassed us at that age?)
Add this side mother-daughter story to a gripping murder mystery, along with humor and romance, and well, I admit, I couldn't put it down. A very fun read.
Now I can't wait to get the rest of the set.

I'm not a fan of Janet Evanovich's other series (isn't it an alphabet theme or something?), but somewhere along the line I picked up this one and was glad I did. It was thoroughly enjoyable -- good writing, interesting characters and a good story line. Another perfect "summer read."
Another fun book for a lazy weekend afternoon....
Beaumont, South Carolina pediatrician Maggie Farnsworth's wild past catches up with her in the form of her ex-boyfriend, a jailbird who's just flown the coop and is intent on tracking down Maggie and her daughter. Things heat up when FBI agent Zack Madden comes on the scene to protect the twosome. Add in an old hound dog named Fleas who's in love with a goat named Butterbean and a resident psychic/astrologer named Destiny and you've got another great Janet Evanovich novel.

Easy, fun beach read
always fun and good mystery combined
Maggie and her daughter have to stay hidden from her wild past, while FBI agent Zack tries to protect them and bring her ex-boyfriend back to justice.
Another great fun read to the series.
You feel as you are with the characters as you read this book - simply put: AMAZING.
This is a great series!! Can't wait for the next book.
A quick, light read--similar to the Stephanie Plum series but with more romance thrown in and a little less humor.
vintage Evanovich. Enjoyable
I delgiht in all Janet Evanovich books. Uses colorful phrasology. This is average to above average in comparision to her other books I have read.
This is a great collaboration b/n Evanovich & Hughes. Fun read!
The latest book in the full series by Janet Evanovich & Charlotte Hughes. This book is mainly about Maggie, the local pediatrician and her 13 year old daughter. Her ex-boyfriend and father of her daughter has escaped prison and is on his way back to Beaumount to reclaim money that he hid there 14 years ago. Max & Jamie make appearances in the book but are no longer the center of attention.
This is just a fun book to read as are all of Janet Evanovich books are.
One of the better Full Series by Evanovich.
Very funny - a laugh out loud book....
The sixth book of the Full Series. A good read.
Another in the Full series. I have only read three but can't wait to read the others! I only wish she would do more of them!
Enjoyable, funny read. A great action, comedy romance!! These characters are great. Can't wait to read the next one. Would make a really good movie script ! Thanks to the authors.
The "Full" series need to be read in order!
Another fun read in this series. They have all been very enjoyable
Fun read as are all her "Full" series.
Fun, Fast, uncomplicated read
very funny
Not some of her best work.
Love it!
A bit less zingy than most Evanovich & Hughes offerings, possibly because it's hard to write lighthearted screwball romances involving a vengeful wacko cop-killer stalking his ex-girlfriend and menacing their teenage daughter. Neither suspense nor rom-com, this one just misses the target.
very good as all of janet e. books are
I enjoyed the book it was a quick light read.
This is book 6 in a cute romantic series by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes. Anyone who has read one or two of these stories will surely want to read more. This book introduces a few new characters, but still has some of the favorites such as Fleas the wonder dog, Jaime and Max Holt, and Vera. A light, funny romance.
All of Janet Evanovich's books are outrageous, wacky and fun. This romance-mystery takes place in Beaumont, S.C. I enjoyed it very much!
Filled with the usual eccentric characters (both some familiar ones and some new ones) and snappy dialogue, this 2006 contribution to the FULL Series doesn't dissapoint.
A fun read. Outrageous and wacky!
Another great Evanovich book!
Written with a sense of humor. Fun to read.
Set in SC, this novel is a cute, outragous, romantic read!
Things in Beaumont are getting crazy. There's an Elvis convention in town, a goat/dog romance is firing up and Better than Sex ice cream is flying out of the cooler. Dr. Maggie is busy with her pediatric patients when a felon with intimate ties to her past breaks out of prison. What will prove her best protection - Queenie's voodoo, a racoon cap, or the handsome undercover FBI agent, Zack? With this much insanity - you won't be able to put it down.
A little different when she writes with Charlote Huges but still very very funny!!! Read all the "FULL" series if you're an Evanovich fan!

It's not as good as the Stephanie Plum books, but it's definitely fun to read.
this series gets better with each book
Fun read

Her wild-girl past has caught up with her for ex-boyfriend, jailbird who has flown the cop. FBI agent Zack Madden is on hand for protection. While Jamie and Max have babies on the brain, Maggie is trying to protect her daughter.
Fun, adventure and romance. You'll love this book.
Funny,and entertaining. must read!!
Another great story in the Full Series - entertaining, fast paced, strong willed female characters who don't need a man to keep them out of trouble (but it's not bad having one around either)
Laugh out loud
This is another wacky tale from Beaumont, SC. I thoroughly enjoy the characters in these books.
Great book!

The most recent in the wonderful series of Max & Jamie. Where will it end.
There is always something funny and mysterious going on where they are involve.

She just keeps getting better and better!! Can't wait for the next one!
Great book. Jamie and Max's story continues along with their friends. Must read if you are big fan of Jan evanovich.
Not as funny as the others in this series.
Another adventure in Beaumont, South Carolina. Jamie and Max are happily married, so they've become minor characters.
Quick and funny
i loved it...light easy reading..i read it in two days....
Beaumont, SC is the setting for another book in this series. This one is about Maggie Farnsworth and FBI agent Zack Madden. An enjoyable reading experience.
En.joyed the book. Fast read. Right to the point not a lot of unnecessary details. Fun
This is such a great book. Fit's right in with the series.
Mercury's in retrograde, and folks in Beaumont, SC 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 alluring goat.
Predictable, but light. A good, quick read.
Welcome back to Beaumont, South Carolina! I love this series, definitely a fast read because you don't won't to stop reading to sleep or eat! Except for maybe some ice cream :)
Enjoyed this book immensely. It was wonderfule to meet all the folks in Beaumont again. Jamie has a surprise for everyone. And even Fleas is in love! A cliff hangar with a chuckle a minute...I read it from beginning to end in one sitting, and was sorry to see it end. But I have faith these two mischevious authors will have another story for us next summer.
This was an enjoyable read. Most of the characters from previous Full books are still here, but this one focuses on Maggie, the town's doctor (pediatrician mostly). Carl Lee Stanton, an old boyfriend of Maggie's, has escaped prison and is headed to Beaumont, SC. And an unwelcome visit to Maggie and her daughter Mel is first on his list! Fortunately, a sexy FBI agent has been sent to protect them...
I can't say I like this series as much as the Stephanie Plum books, but they're entertaining nonetheless. One thing I didn't care for though is that towards the end, a few of the characters ignored or overlooked a few important clues that were telling them Carl Lee had arrived in town. I found myself thinking, what'd y'all just take a stupid pill or something? LOL

This is one of her great books in the series before the Plum series
Folks in South Carolina, are dealing with gossip, scandal, misunderstandings, and more secrets than ever. Local peditrican Maggie 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 traacking down Maggie and her daughter
This series is formulaic but fun.
I liked this book the best of this series. A fun read!
Fun read! Quick and easy book to read - with a cute story line and good characters. Relaxing!
I enjoy all her books, esp. the Stephanie Plum series.
This is really fun when it isn't scary. Better entry in the full series.
Great writing team, nicely defined characters, great setting and lots of action, including some familiar characters from other E/H stories. Never would have guessed there was so much energy and intrigue in a place like Beaumont, South Carolina.
The latest in the full series. I must say I am a hugh fan of Janet Evanovich but I was a bit disappointed in this book. It mainly focus on Maggie and Zack and less on Max and Jamie. Overall it's a great and easy read.
Sorry, I didn't care for it at all, but you might!
I thought that this was a good book. It was an easy read, but it was also enough to keep me reading. It was very enjoyable as are all of Janet Evanovich's.
This is a crazy-fun book that you won't want to put down. Evanovich and Hughes are at it again in the latest addition to their "Full" series. (Full Bloom, Full House, Full Tilt, Full Speed, and Full Blast)
Delightful!
As always, Janet Evanovich keeps you guessing right until the end..
Great easy read.
Great easy read.
Very good book. Action with fun attached.
Continuation of Jamie and Max. Helping a friend of Jamie's. Of course there is always humor and it comes in spades with Fleas new love interest.
The newest in the Evanovich "FULL" series. Local pediatrician Maggie and her daughter are in danger. FBI agent Zack comes to protect them. Maggie's wild past includes an ex-boyfriend, who during a robbery killed an FBI agent. He has now broke out of prison and is heading her way. Laugh out loud situations as only Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes can do.
great book! i recommend reading them in order but you don't have to do that to get them, they are great!
This was a wonderful book, just wish it was longer.
Hilarious and a fun book to read. As always, Evanovitch leaves you with a good ending and a desire to keep on reading.
Another Janet Evanovich that I just loved! This may be my favorite so far! I hope another one is due out in this series, soon!!!
I really liked it, but like all of their books.

It's the wildest time yet in a town we love to read about, with characters we can't get enough of.

The best yet. This is the latest in Janet Evanovich & Charlotte Hughes, Full series. Book 6
Yet another great book by Charlotte & Janet! Needed more Max & Jamie but she introduced some great new characters!
