About this audiobook
Alexandra Scott, Alaskan Wilderness Woman. It had a terrific ring to it, but Alex felt a sudden twinge of uncertainty. She'd traded in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods and a bait & tackle store. She'd wanted to escape the rat race and to go husband-hunting where men outnumbered women four to one, but was she ready for the challenge?
Then she spotted Michael Casey, a sexy pilot who was undaunted by disaster, had hero written all over him...and was a confirmed bachelor. Michael Casey was the man she had come to Alaska to hunt, and Alexandra Scott had him in her sights.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A hilarious romance that is a riot from beginning to end. Alexandra Scott is sick of her fancy New Jersey car and fantastic New York job so she gives it all up to move to Alaska to a cabin and hardware store she's never seen to search for a husband. Everything goes downhill from there and she's sent on a crazy adventure.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ok, the title alone makes me giggle. Manhunt. Not a terribly subtle title, but a terribly cute book. Of these quickie romances, this one is my favorite so far. I love the pace of these books, which is fast. They are barely over 200 pages. That's nice after reading some big long books this year.Manhunt is about a woman who trades her New Jersey condo for a cabin and hardware store in Alaska. She thought she got the raw end of the deal as her cabin didn't even have plumbing or electricity. Help comes in the form of a super hunky (and rich!) neighbor. Instant attraction and denial keeps the book moving along. She's looking for a husband, he's not looking for a wife.It's a comedy at heart. There are no surprising twists or turns, but it will make you smile. You know just what's going to happen in the end but that's ok. It's fun to read how they get there.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was filled with snappy hysterically funny dialogue that really worked. My problem came with the heroine. She's such a ditz. She gives up her East Coast high power job and beautiful condo to trade homes with a quirky Alaskan who owns a fishing and hunting store. He takes her condo and she takes his house. Yeah, right. She heads to Alaska to find a husband and discovers that her new home is a log cabin with no plumbing, not even an outhouse, no electricity and is filled with mice. But she is thrilled with the place, absolutely loves it. Oh, right, this is totally believable, don't you think? Uh, huh. The next door neighbor is a cute hunk who does not want to commit and she spends most of her time at his house where she cooks and showers. The hero is commitment-phobic and I disliked the heroine, but the snappy dialogue saved the book. This is an oldie of Evanovich's before she turned to writing mystery. (Grade: B-)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this book!! It was great fun and brought me to laugh out loud when I was reading it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Making the decision to completely change her life in the hopes of finding a husband and starting a family, Alexandra Scott took an impulsive leap of faith and traded homes with Harry Kowalski, an interesting old man that had his own reasons for wanting a change in his life. Leaving New Jersey and her corporate job behind and setting out for Alaska to a site-unseen home and business seemed crazy to everyone especially her new neighbor Michael Casey who had his own reasons for wanting her to go home. Alex could overcome a lot of obstacles, but was hoping she could overcome Casey’s doubt about their relationship.Another great pre-Plum book. The fun of some of these books are in the dialogue between the characters. Not much, if any twists or turns to it. It was almost surprising in that the story didn’t take any predictable tragic twist, just a straight forward “how do I get him/her to admit their feelings.” It was still a good story, great characters (as usual from Janet Evanovich). Fun, light and ending too quickly.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I always enjoy this author's books. This one was quite funny.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A pre-Stephanie Plum book, this one is about Alexandra Scott, a Wall Street executive living in a Princeton, NJ condo and fed up with the craziness of her life. She trades the condo to an old man for his Alaskan cabin and hardware store, sight unseen, quits her job, loads her big dog into her little car and heads out looking for a new life and a husband.Predctable, but fun.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5First off, Alex is a dingbat (and not like Stephanie Plum, who seems like a dingbat but is actually pretty smart). And the resolution is a little abrupt. But, the tension is good, the story is cute, and it made me laugh out loud more than once, so I give it a thumbs up.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Main character is at first presented as a strong woman, as the story progresses she all of a sudden changes to a helpless "i-need-a-man-to-do-it-for-me" type person.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is one of Evanovich's fluffy screwball comedy/romances. Do not come looking for substance, but they are truly hilarious comfort reads without a lick of realism. Which was exactly what I needed at the time. This one takes place in the wilds of Alaska with a city girl trying to catch a man and make a fresh start. The hero chafes a bit. Recommended for when you just want to laugh and believe the world is a nice place.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A very simple, cute romance. The book is very short but entertaining.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Truly awful, yes it was. But I wanted a quick easy read, and it took two hours.
