I enjoyed "Full Tilt," although not as much as I do the books in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. However, I knew it would be unfair to hold Max and Jamie to such a high standard. At any rate, I liked millionnaire (or is it billionnaire?) Max Holt and small-time newspaper publisher Jamie Swift enough to hurry and order the sequel, "Full Speed."I tried to like it. I really, really did. But Max's and Jamie's behavior becomes so outlandishly stupid and the Elmer Gantry-style preacher who figures as the villain is so cartoonish that I simply got halfway through and quit in disgust. Why does sensible Jamie suddenly start taking idiotic risks? Why does sweet-natured Max suddenly become so arrogant and controlling? It was all out of character.By all means, enjoy "Full Speed." And then make a full stop. Don't bother with the sequel.
