I read alot of books. Many are very long and complex novels. This authors books are light like a candy bar. The stories are well written and you will laugh so hard you'll loose your place as the book falls to the floor. And it won't matter because you don't mind re-reading to find your place and laugh out loud ever more.

Book Number 2 in the Alexander Barnaby Adventure series, following up on Metro Girl which was Book Number 1 in the series, Evanovich provides us with another adventure, comedy, and romance series. Our heroine has some similarities to much beloved Stephanie Plum, saucy (mouthed as well, hence the Book Title, be forewarned of racier language, delivered all in good fun), contemporary, and a riot, yet, of course, she is different. Alexandra aka "Barney" Barnaby is more sorta working class Southern with a panache for NASCAR where Plum is Jersey, Trenton, from "The Berg."

You won't believe some of the elements of the plot, but just go with it and have fun. This is definitely a fantasy stretch of a plot, as are all the also marvelously fun Stephanie Plum novels. Plenty of computer and NASCAR details and I'm not even a huge NASCAR fan, found that element fun, a real NASCAR fan would be able to review how accurate are Ms. Evanovich's details. I'm guessing she researched it and they're accurate.

Sit back, buckle up, and get ready for a fast-paced humorous ride and romance.

I read Motor Mouth when it first came out. I liked it then and i like it now. I'm surprised there are not more reviews for this follow up book to Metro Girl. Given, it is not S. Plum but it is a good stand alone read. It is a fast action read, interesting charactors and plot. Give it a try. I do hope Ms Evanovich will follow with book three. It is a tongue in cheek read for a cold winters night.

I usually love to read Janet Evonovich's books and always enjoy reading her "number series", but this fell so short that I would not have even given it one star if possible. The title should be changed to Potty Mouth because the "F" bomb is dropped one too many times. All of the characters were two short of a six pack, no doubt dropping out of school after the 3rd grade because their conversations were beyond juvenile. UGG! Save your money on this one: It's a total bust!
