"The Rocky Road to Romance" is Janet Evanovich's third romance novel written before her Stephanie Plum series.
Daisy, the Dog Lady on WZZZ, is a doctoral student but has to keep herself afloat by delivering newspapers, being a crossing guard, volunteering at a retirement home, and working at the radio station. While her parents are out of town, she's also responsible for her teenage brother, Kevin, who is staying with her.
Steve owns the station where Daisy works and reluctantly agrees to let her be the fill-in weather person on-the-road when the regular weatherman has an accident. Daisy is a strong woman and, when she comes up against a local drug dealer, she doesn't back down. Threats are flying her direction so Steve insists on hiring a bodyguard to travel with her while she's at work.
Daisy is strong-minded enough that she doesn't like the bodyguards that Steve has sent her to interview and hires her own -- Elsie, who Daisy met at the retirement center, drives a Cadillac and carries a big purse with a big gun inside.
As Steve interacts more with Daisy, he knows he's in trouble when he buys a dog, Bob, to impress her. Romance blossoms but not without some mishaps along the way. As Steve becomes more protective, Daisy maintains her independence. Will love win in the end? It's a fun read! pazt
