This review is from: Stella, Get Your Gun (Silhouette Bombshell) (Mass Market Paperback)

Stella is having a bad day, her partner called in sick on the night of a big undercover operation. She is assigned the most incompetent new cop on the Garden Beach PD. They arrest the man they are looking for(a violent rapist), but Leon's incompetence lands her in the ER with a sprained ankle. Her supervisor sends her home to her live in, a fellow cop. She arrives home to find that her partner isn't sick at all, but having a very good time with Stella's boyfriend Pete. She has a meltdown(well worth reading), takes his dog and heads home to Pennsylvania. She arrives in time for her beloved uncle's funeral and discovers that he was murdered and that her aunt is acting very strangely. Worse, her ex boyfriend, the one that stood her up at her elopement, is presiding over the funeral and her uncle's will. Things get stranger when Aunt Lucy disappears, Stella gets arrested and all hell breaks loose.

Fans of the Stephanie Plum novels will love this fast moving story. The characters are deliciously bizarre and you just can't stop reading each page. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Not the usual Bombshell and a very good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars madcap romantic suspense, October 12, 2004

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Stella, Get Your Gun (Silhouette Bombshell) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Garden Beach, Florida, patrol officer Stella Valocchi completes her undercover assignment of capturing a serial killer successfully in spite of her partner Lou Ann being replaced by a pathetic rookie. She goes to see her boyfriend Pete the cop only to see he and Lou Ann playing bad girl games on the sheets. Angrily she leaves with Pete's dog, but realizes she has no future here as her former best friend and partner and her former lover will cover their respective behinds with nasty rumors about her.

Stella drives to her hometown to spend time with her beloved Uncle Benny and their zany family. However, upon arriving in Glenn Ford, Pennsylvania she learns that Benny committed suicide. Leading the services at Benny's funeral is Minister Jake Carpenter, who once jilted Stella at the altar. Unable to accept the fact that Benny killed himself, Stella investigates the death only to have unwanted help from her family and Jake who she still loves.

Stella is a fabulous protagonist looking to regain her groove following the Florida betrayal and the death of her uncle in which she is the only one who thinks murder occurs. Her relatives are the wild bunch who adds amusing and often frantic lunacy to the fast-paced plot. Fans of a madcap romantic suspense will want to read the amusing yet tense STELLA, GET YOUR GUN, which she would like to use on jilting Jake.
