Charlotte Hughes' Kate Holly Series

Hughes has written many books on her own, but her claim to fame is as a co-author with Janet Evanovich for the "Full" series starring small-town newspaper owner Jamie Swift and rich guy Max Holt (Full House, Full Tilt, and four more). This is Hughes' newest series written by herself, and it is absolutely hilarious. Think in the same vein as Evanovich's funny Jersey girl Stephanie Plum, but with an entirely new set of characters and set in Georgia. Kate Holly is a psychologist with issues of her own (OCD, for one). She and her assistant Mona, her crazy mother and aunt, her firefighter ex-husband , and a bad boy psychiatrist Thad who she once dated and can't get away from, all join forces to get themselves out of comic situations and away from patients who should be institutionalized.
