Manhunt

If you're looking for something light to read on a plane, Janet Evanovich's Manhunt (#113) will do the trick.  It was originally published back in 1989 and is a straight romance, but being a Stephanie Plum fan, Janet Evanovich's name on the cover sold it. 

Wall Street corporate VP quits her prestigious New York job and exchanges her New Jersey condo for a cabin in Alaska and a hardware store sight unseen.  Off to Alaska with her dog Bruno, a two-seater sports car and an entirely unsuitable wardrobe, is it any wonder that Alex immediately finds herself in deep waters? Literally?  Enter the successful, rich and handsome guy in the cabin next door (with electricity!) and you can see where this is going a mile away.  Even her dog switches allegiance to Casey, the hunk next door - what's a girl to do? 

I realized as I was reading this book that I don't read too many romances anymore that don't have something else going on in the plot - mystery, suspense, history or a combination of the above, but this was still a fun read, with the humor amped up and the sex not too graphic, thank you.  It's easy to see from this book how Ms. Evanovich developed such a popular off-beat heroine in Stephanie Plum and why she's become so successful.
