Kurzbeschreibung
Single mom Lizabeth Kane isn't exactly carpenter material -- she's never picked up a hammer in her life. But she desperately needs the construction job that builder Matt Hallahan is offering. And even though he knows trouble is ahead, Matt can't refuse Lizbeth's irresistible smile.
Matt Hallahan isn't exactly relationship material -- he has always been too busy working on other people's houses to make a home of his own. And even though she knows better, Lizabeth can't stop thinking about the rugged carpenter.
Is the relationship Matt and Lizabeth are building solid -- or more like a house of cards?

Ich bin ein grosser Janet Evanovich Fan und lese alles, was ich von ihr kriegen kann. Smitten hat mich allerdings enttäuscht. Schon auf den ersten Seiten wird klar, wer am Ende wen kriegt - naja, das ist ja oft so. Hier gibt es aber keine überraschend auftretenden Hindernisse oder sonstigen Schwierigkeiten. Die Gründe, warum es bis zum Happy End so lange dauert (wo doch eigentlich alle Weichen gestellt sind) sind ziemlich mager. Habe das Buch aber trotzdem fertig gelesen, daher mehr als einen Punkt.

Smitten was written before Stephanie Plum began. This is the fifth of nine quirky romances that Janet Evanovich wrote between 1988 and 1992.
If you read Smitten without having read the Stephanie Plum novels, you would probably rate the book high for fun and wackiness, above average for plot development and appeal of characters, average for character development and below average for being too predictable. But if you know Stephanie, you have several extra ways to enjoy this book: By seeing how Janet Evanovich has changed her style of writing romantic comedies. That's what moves this warm-hearted, PG-13 novel above average.
Lizabeth Kane is a well-educated 32-year-old daughter of a wealthy family who has been recently been divorced by a philandering husband with pretensions. She also owns a fixer-upper that she doesn't know how to fix. Money needs to come in to meet the mortgage payments to feed her two sons and ravenous dog, Ferguson (a Marley-like misbehaving dog before anyone knew about Marley).
Jobs are hard to find. She's viewed as either overqualified (with her college degree from Amherst) or as inexperienced. Noting that new homes are being added in the neighborhood, she applies to Matt Hallahan, a hunky contractor of her own age who likes Harleys and sports a tattoo in Chinese. She gets the job based on lust at first sight. The romance quickly blossoms.
To care for her sons over the summer while she paints trim and hammers an occasional nail, Lizabeth asks her aunt, Elsie Hawkins, to visit. Elsie avoids funeral homes but she has many features that help identify her as a prototype for Grandma Mazur.
In the background, there's some persistent, goofy flasher who doesn't bother Lizabeth and Elsie . . . but annoys Matt enormously.
The story would have been stronger if the romance had proceeded more slowly . . . as it has with Stephanie and Ranger. But there's a nice feel-good quality to the story that will provide pleasant, easy reading for all but the most critical romance reader.

A Lightweight Winner!
14. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
"Smitten" is pure fluff. But it is fluff that I loved! If you're looking for a complex plot, and characters with some heft, this is not the book for you. This is a short romance novel with lots of humor, that showcases Janet Evanovich at a much earlier point in her career. I could easily see the talent that grew to author the fabulous Stephanie Plum series, i.e., "One For The Money," etc. It is in this novel(ette) that the character of Stephanie's grandmother emerges, (one of my all time favorite people), in Aunt Elsie. So, if you have a few hours to spare for some delightful entertainment, this is a good choice.
Lizabeth Kane is a recently divorced mother with 2 very active little boys and no way to pay the bills. She had devoted 10 of her 32 years to being a wife, (of an ambitious and wealthy philanderer), and a mother. Now she needed a job. Her Aunt Elsie was coming to spend the summer to care for the kids, but so far - no luck in the job search. Lizabeth had graduated years ago from Amherst College with a degree in history. Her resume is that brief, and her liberal arts education, minus experience, certainly does not make her competitive in the job market.
She stumbles on to a construction site where she meets Matt Hallahan, a real estate developer and CEO of his own company, as well as a carpenter, man-of-all-trades...and gorgeous hunk to boot! He is immediately smitten by Lizabeth and hires her as a laborer-in-training - on the condition that she work with him. He is terrified that she will kill herself while hammering nails. And so begins the love story, with a minor mystery, and about 180 pages of smiles. Go for it!!!

Lizabeth Kane was desperate to find a job. After getting divorced, she needed to find some way to support her two boys, but she had no experience at doing anything. When she saw the construction site near her home advertising a help wanted for a carpenter, she thought it would be perfect, and within walking distance from home. Matt Hallahan couldn't believe it when she told him her story about needing a job, but couldn't bring himself to turn her down. He knew he would find something for her to do. As Matt got to know Lizabeth and her kids, the more he found himself unable to stay away. He wasn't Mr. Commitment, but found himself wanting one with her. Only to his surprise, she didn't want to get involved because she wanted to learn to be self-sufficient and on her own. Matt couldn't fault her for wanting to make it on her own, but he was determined to change her mind because as far as he was concerned, she was already his. He just had to figure out how to get her to love a guy that has a Harley and a tattoo. When a flasher makes nightly appearances at Lizabeth's house, Matt has the perfect excuse to move in!
Enjoyable read. This is an earlier work of JE, and you can see character similarities from this book incorporated into the Plum series.

I'm just "smitten" over this book..
11. Februar 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
hello everyone! i just wanted to sure with you that this was a very wonderful read.. however i sincerely warn you not to read this book out in public.. unless you a acquainted with curious stares and looks of disbelief.. (speaking from second-hand experience that is.. hehehe) but if not, then read it in the privacy of your own home. This was a splendid read; you'll fall in love with Lizabeth and Matt (the falling-fast-for-each-other couple) and most of all lizabeth's eccentric yet VERY comical aunt.. this book is brimming with laughs and tender moments! don't pass this one up.. its a keeper!
