This was really bad read for me. I read a few Stephanie Plum books years ago and remember them being light and entertaining but this was not even that. To say the dialogue was awkward is an understatement. And the storylines were even worse. To top it all off, whatever she was calling "romance" in this book is cauldron of dysfunction and weirdness that went to a whole new level. It was a really short book and still very difficult to finish - it felt endless. I really like reading my holiday themed book this time of year and Thanksgiving themes are rare but I sure wish I'd skipped this one.

I don't even want to give it 1 star. I think my IQ dropped. The whole concept was unimaginative and ridiculous. I hate reading a book where I have such a strong distaste for the main character. She seriously had a screw loose.

A cute sweet story about love.

Idiotic. I got it at the library as a book on tape for a long drive. The length was appropriate, author vaguely recognizable and plot summary not objectionable. That ends the positives.

A character who is supposed to be a pediatrician brings a walker for a baby? Hello - consumer child protection commission calling - shouldn't he know that they are deadly?

A woman who supposedly supports herself making pottery begins work in November for the Christmas season??? Ridiculous . One phone call to a retailer would demonstrate the folly. Pottery does not spoil. Start work months ahead.

A character laughs off her policeman father punching a character he has yet to be introduced to in the nose, possibly breaking it. This is unacceptable. Her mother says nothing either.

A character laughs off her mother and beau's mother planning her wedding before anyone has proposed . No challenge to serious boundary infractions . The character is 27 years old.

The mother of the main character tells the man who left her at the altar who calls out of the blue where she lives ? Then he shows up ? Then she contemplates marrying him? Stalker and stalker enabler working together. Does character call out either one? Of course not. That would be self aware, self confident, boundary appropriate.

Main character wishes love interest would propose marriage so that she could turn him down. This sounds like someone's love life in middle school .

Character leaves infant at the home of people who she thinks are a couple.
ages 27 and 30. She jumps in a taxi and leaves with no specific return plans . Legal responsibility? Legal obligation ? They just take in a baby with no thought about these ramifications because the 27 y.o. Is crying.

Why the obsession with street names in Williamsburg,VA. Give me a dollar for each time someone is mentioned as walking down Duke of Gloucester street!

Who lets a rabbit run around their house? They are known for chewing up wires on computers .

Please save yourself time and don't read this pathetic mess.

It all started with a roaming rabbit. When Megan Murphy finds a rabbit chewing on her skirt she returns it to its owner and Dr. Patrick Hunter changes her life.

This was a nice quick romantic, funny read for the holiday season. This is a story of love at first sight and it moves along pretty quickly, a bit too quickly for me. Megan and Patrick end up caring for a baby together during Thanksgiving and with both families showing up it turns into an engagement party. Things go south when the baby’s mom returns and what Megan does to Patrick is cruel and deceitful. He gets her back though and it’s hilarious. Megan is a smart girl who makes stupid decisions and mistakes. Patrick is a good guy who takes all she does with a smile and knows that in the end he’ll have his girl. The story does end pretty abruptly though with an unsurprising happy ending.

Maybe its because it was written so long ago but this was dumb... the characters has zero reasoning skills and it just didn't make a lot of sense.

In the words of my 11 year old....so cringe

I think this is only the second book I've read by Evanovich, and I'm not totally sure what all the hype is about. Once you realize that most of this book takes place over the course of about a fortnight, you start to realize just how ridiculous the story is. Within these two weeks, the main characters meet, are given a baby, kiss, "fall in love", sleep together, pretend to be married, have family over for Thanksgiving, plan/not plan on getting married, lose the baby, try to get pregnant, fight, and make up. In the course of two weeks! It's so much worse than Romeo and Juliet. You have to hand it to Evanovich, though. She managed to combine the "best" aspects of a romance featuring a new couple and a married couple.

I listened to the audio version and C.J. Critt might be the only reason this book got a 2-star instead of a 1-star. She totally embodies the ambiguous age of the main characters while giving an emotionally packed delivery.

"Didn't finish" is an understatement. I barely began this audiobook. The first few minutes were enough. I was hoping for a Hallmark-type holiday themed romantic comedy. Unfortunately, it was obvious that it was a romance novel from the start. Once she wrapped up the rabbit in a cape, or whatever, and slung it over her shoulder, that was it. Instead of fun, holiday fiction, I found an uninteresting, romance, with ill treatment of animals, both of which I find intolerable.

Eeeew, come on, really? -total mush

Listened to this book as an Audio Book. This was a fun book.
