Veronica Miller is just going about a normal day, working at Goldilocks (the adult store from Gnome on the Range) part time while looking forward to buying out her father's plumbing business and getting the repairs on her kitchen (which went up in flames) finished so she can move out of her twin sister Violet's house and just be home again.  That all changes when a man from her past stumbles into her sister's house.  Of course, hilarity ensues =)When I say that Gnomeless is 'unexpected', I mean it's different type of story than the previous installment.  Yes, there is a Gnome involved  but where Range was a romance wrapped in a quirky and fun mystery, this one is more of the straight up romance variety.  When I heard that Jennifer Zane had plans to make a series out of it I felt myself wondering 'more mysteries about a garden gnome?  How will she do that?'.  As I turned page after page of Gnomeless I realized that it wasn't going to be a series of mysteries but that's ok.  It's still told in the same funny and quirky style that colored every page of the first novel.It was a nice change of pace to see the story focus on someone else, even though the Gnome and Goldilocks still played a part in the story (it is a small town after all!).  While I prefer Range because of the mystery component that figured heavily into the story, Gnomeless was also a sweet and fun romance with the right amount of risque.I'm curious to see who's live we'll get a peek into next time and what that story will be all about and just what that nosy little match making gnome will get himself into ;)Fun, light, funny, sexy and touching, Jennifer Zane penned a nice little book yet again.
