Stay Close, Novac! [Kindle Edition]

Jan Romes (Author)

Book Description

Jessi Novac leads the quiet life of a romance author until someone leaves a series of explicit notes under her windshield wipers and heavy breathing on her answering machine.

Until NYPD can track down the culprit who's trying to scare the bejesus out of her, Jessi hides out at her grandmother's beach house in Myrtle Beach where she hopes to get her bearings. Instead, her life takes an even bigger tilt toward crazy when she meets her clumsy neighbor. She's suspicious of Ian Alexander, and attracted to him at the same time. Their relationship becomes a calamity of errors until strange things start happening at the beach house. Jessi clings to Ian for protection, but soon discovers her heart may be in more danger than her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read! May 7, 2012

Neither Ian nor Jessi were looking for love, but when Ian falls off of a ladder outside her beach house at six in the morning, sparks fly! Jessi is keeping a low profile while the police look for a stalker that has been terrorizing her, and Ian just happens to be working on the beach house next door...or does he? A wonderful blend of romance and suspense, Stay Close, Novac is a fun, witty read that I couldn't put down until the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars She's gone and done it again! May 10, 2012

That's right, Jan Romes has gone and written another book I can rave about. I've read all Jan's books and each time I say this one is my favorite, wouldn't you know . . . the next one is my new best Jan book. Now, about Ian and Jessi, and Stay Close, Novac! I just loved this book, but I noticed something new. Her first three titles were zany, insane, LOL funny with quirky characters where the H&H tried really hard to resist the chemistry between them.

In Stay Close, Novac!, the zaniness (is that a word?) was toned down a little and the story was just a little more serious, which is why it is my new favorite. A stalker is stalking (well, that is what stalker's do) Jessi, and Ian, unbeknownst to Jessi, has been . . . oophs, came close to a spoiler there.

One little note about Stay Close, Novac! This is apparently Jan's first self-published book and I'm impressed. Big time! I've read too many self-published books where the formatting, editing and what have you were so bad that I DNF. I did see one misspelling, but if there were more, I was too engrossed in the story to notice and the formatting seemed just fine to me.

So, Ms. Romes, I've set the bar high. Can your next book replace Stay Close Novac! as my new favorite?
