"If the Burb was a food, it would be pasta," writes Evanovich. "Penne rigate, ziti, fettuccine, spaghetti and elbow macaroni...

On the dusty glass shelves of the store sit many of the products from the Loves factory. The names range from the whimsical ("The Plump Landlady") to the boastful ("The Great Penis") to the perspicacious ("The Strongly Systolic"). Prices range from $1 to $150 plus.
