Hot Stuff

This is an okay book co-written by Janet Evanovich and Leanne Banks. Cate Madigan isn't asking for trouble. Her wacky Irish family is constantly playing matchmaker for her with men who leave much to be desired. All she wants is peace and quiet and a nice place to live while she saves her money from tending bar in a lively Boston pub. Okay, so what if her roommate is a cross-dressing lounge singer named Mary Longfellow? In exchange for cheap rent, all she has to do is take care of his plants and collect his mail when he’s out of town. And then, Marty disappears. At the same time, a bullmastiff dog named Beast shows up with instructions from Marty to take care of him.
