Carlotta Wren desperately needs a vacation from her life. So when hunky Cooper Craft invites her to ride with him to Florida for some fun in the sun and a VIP body pickup, it seems like the opportunity she's been waiting for. Until her brother Wesley, eluding an irate loan shark, tags along to play chaperone... Until they arrive to pick up their VIP body and are greeted by three different men--each one laying claim to the celebutante they've been hired to move... And until Carlotta realizes that someone is very determined that they don't make it back to Atlanta with their famous cargo intact!
The series is good so far but Carlotta needs to quite juggling the 3 ring man circus & her brother needs to grow up. Too many 2nd chances. This book #3 wasn't the greatest but I'm going to read the next one to see.
3 Men and a Body by Stephanie Bond
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Stephanie Bond's 'Body Movers' series is more of a romantic mystery than anything else. Bond has a great touch with adding humor to her stories, the mysteries are well-plotted, and there are ongoing and changing relationships (romantic and familial) that run throughout. There are currently six books in the series and the author's website says there may be more. These books made me laugh and made me sigh and even get a little overheated in some spots. In some ways, this series reminds me of Evanovich's 'Stephanie Plum' series. In book three, Carlotta is recovering from events at the end of book two and has a few more weeks off work. When one of the men in her life, very sexy Cooper--current body mover and former head medical examiner, invites her along for a special body-moving job in Florida Carlotta can't think of any reason to refuse him...er, the job! But this is Carlotta's life so pretty soon there's run-ins with corpse-snatchers, her brother Wesley tags along, she hears from her fugitive father, and she and Cooper...uh, you'll have to read it for yourself to find that one out :) This series is not deep mystery. It's just fun. If you need a break from the normal routine, this is a series that might be for you.
I Enjoyed This Book

I'm not sure why all the neg reviews saying "it never ends", I wish it would go away", etc. Why keep reading the series if you feel that way? I thought the book was funny and quirky and I'm waiting to see how it all turns out. If it starts going down hill for me, I'll stop reading the books.
Great book by Stephanie Bond

This is the third in the Body Movers series, and I can't wait for the next one to come out.
Another Great Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This series is on my keeper shelf (along w/ my other Stephanie Bond books). Carlotta manages to surprise me every time. With the first book in this series, I knew who I wanted her to end up with. Now, I'm not so sure anymore, especially with the curveball (courtesy of Jack) near the end of the story. But it was fun to have the chance to learn more about Coop so I'm glad he played a major role in this book. And just when I think Peter is counted out, he steps up and does something amazing. I am eagerly awaiting the next three and I'm sure from having read Stephanie's work since her Harlequin Temptation days that I'll be just as pleased.
So Much Fun

I just love the entire Body Mover series and I'm so glad that there are 3 more books to look forward to. All these books are well written with witty dialogue and an extremely interesting storyline that progresses well with each book leaving the reader wanting more. All in all a very enjoyable read! BTW Stephanie if you read this Im secretly hoping that Carlotta will end up with Jack Terry ;)
