Book Reviews of Metro Girl (Alex Barnaby Series #1)
Book Review: Barney is No Stephanie, Still a Saucy Contemporary Heroine
Summary: 5 Stars
Metro Girl is the first in Janet Evanovich's Alexander Barnaby Adventure series with our Heroine better know as "Barney." Because my first Janet Evanovich reads were not Stephanie Plum, I am completely able to read the "Barnaby Adventures" and "Full Series" for what they are, fun books by the same author, same style, completely different. If you can read this with that approach, you can enjoy it and find yourself rolling on the coach laughing at the antics and the NASCAR details. If you are so much of a Stephanie Plum fan and only want that from Evanovich, then indeed, pass this series by. It is not Stephanie Plum.
That said, Barney is racing into Miami Beach in search of her baby brother Bill (yes, nice alliteration) who she is frequently rescuing and Sam Hooker of NASCAR races along with her to help, blustering about with male aggression. She's been 3x engaged, and as her dear brother puts it to Hooker, "Barney's hell on men. I hope you haven't got any ideas." The spicy and saucy street smarts mouth style quintessential of Evanovich is throughout "Metro Girl." She is all about cars, a stolen/borrowed boat of Sam's ("The Happy Hooker", Sam Hooker, Happy Hooker, see what I mean? exactly. F bombs as well. Quintessential Evanovich, if you find that snarky funny like me, you will definitely enjoy it.). This is definitely a fast-paced, humorous adventure romance and a light frothy read for the beach or a cold winter night. Curl up and enjoy!
Summary of Metro Girl (Alex Barnaby Series #1)
Alexandra (Barney) Barnaby roars onto the Miami Beach scene in hot pursuit of her missing baby brother, "Wild" Bill. Leave it to the maverick of the family to get Barney involved with high-speed car chases, a search for sunken treasure, and Sam Hooker, a NASCAR driver who?s good at revving a woman's engine.
Engaged in a deadly race, Bill has "borrowed" Hooker's sixty-five-foot Hatteras and sailed off into the sunset...just when Hooker has plans for the boat. Hooker figures he'll attach himself to Barney and maybe run into scumbag Bill. And better yet, maybe he'll get lucky in love with Bill's sweetie pie sister.
The pedal will have to go to metal if Barney and Hooker want to be the first to cross the finish line, save Bill, Hooker's boat...and maybe the world.
