Love in a Nutshell

Love in a Nutshell by Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly is what you would expect a book co-authored by Evanovich to be - a quirky, fun read.

Kate Appleton has move into her parent's lake house, The Nutshell, in Keene's Harbor, Michigan. Her plan is to turn the huge house into a bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, she used most of her saving on a divorce and doesn't have the cash to pay for the repairs the house desperately needs. So, she needs a job.

Matt Culhane owns the Depot Brewing Company. Lately there has been a series of small mishaps that are costing Matt money. Since Kate needs the money to pay off a mortgage and do repairs and Matt needs a spy he hires for at minimum wage with a $20,000 bonus if she finds the person trying to sabotage the brewery.

With her usual humor, Evanovich and co-author Kelly have created a highly readable romance that will delight fans.
