Bubbles Unbound by Sarah Strohmeyer

Lots of folks have recommended this series to me as something for Janet Evanovich fans to read, and I can definitely see similarities...goofy main character, dark male lead, bumbling but ultimately triumphant detective work.

Bubbles is a hairdresser turned sometimes-journalist who is willing to do anything for her "big story". Throw in a surly photographer, a mystery, and a lot of witty dialogue and you have Bubbles.

A fun, feisty read for all Evanovich fans!
