Title: The Job
Author: Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg
Review: I started Fox and O’Hare Novels about eight
months ago and enjoyed the first two novels.
They reminded me of all the exciting movies and TV chase series I have
seen. Fun, light with just enough action to keep the reader interested. The Job has got to be hands down the best in
the series so far. I found myself
laughing so many times I would read the passages out loud to anyone around me
as I kept laughing. The interaction and
development of Jake, Kate’s father, will have the readers nonstop laughing and
you can’t help but love Jake. For
example:
“Nick Grinned ‘Kate prefers a loaded gun next
to her bed.’
‘Is that
all?’ Jake asked Kate. ‘Where’s your hand grenade?’
‘I don’t
have a hand grenade.’
‘What
happened to the one I give you for Christmas?’
‘I forgot
about that,” she said. “I guess it’s around the apartment somewhere.”
That
interaction is just the beginning of the laughs you will have between Jake and
Kate.
Nick is handsome and dashing as always and I
hope that the next book dives deeper into why Nick is the way he is because so
far he is slightly flat. I am looking for the history of Nick and we were given
a small glance in this book.
I enjoyed
that Kate seems to be growing as a character and the reader will wonder with
her as she tries to figure out where she belongs in the world. You also get a glimpse into who Kate is and
her past in the military. I can’t wait
for more character development in the next book in the series.
The con is
as brilliant as always but this time Kate seems to handle going against the law
with a little more ease. I love the cast
of characters and how each one interacts with Kate, Jake and Nick. Every
characters has a purpose but sometimes you feel like they get a little throw
away without a second thought just like the light fun crime shows.

Why I Read this Title: Sent for an honest review
Synopsis: He’s a charming con man and she’s a dedicated
FBI agent, and they’re about to drive each other crazy . . . again!
The FBI had one demand when they secretly teamed up
Special Agent Kate O’Hare with charming con man Nicolas Fox—bring down the
world’s most-wanted and untouchable felons. This time it’s the brutal leader of
a global drug-smuggling empire. The FBI doesn’t know what their target looks
like, where he is, or how to find him, but Nick Fox has a few tricks up his
sleeve to roust this particular Knipschildt chocolate–loving drug lord.
From the streets of Nashville to the back alleys of
Lisbon, from the rooftops of Istanbul to the middle of the Thames, Nick and
Kate chase their mark. When they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic
bodyguard and a Portuguese enforcer who gets advice from a pickled head, they
decide it’s time to enlist some special talent—talent like a machete-wielding
Somali pirate, a self-absorbed actor, an Oscar-winning special effects artist,
and Kate’s father Jake, a retired Special Forces operative. Together they could
help make this Fox and O’Hare’s biggest win yet . . . if they survive.
