Summary: RANGER please can I have him to go!
Review: This book for me is simply yum! Ranger, oh, Ranger, I'm sorry to all the Morelli fans but Ranger is the guy I adore in Stephanie's books.
Stephanie starts out this book by saving her friend Carol from jumping off a bridge. Good deed that will come back later in the form of Bob the dog. See, Carol stole some undies to try and spice up her marriage while she was trying to get away she hits an unmarked police car. So rather than go to jail Carol is willing to jump off the bridge. I'll leave it at that because you don't need to know much more. :)

Back to Ranger:
This time he's hiding out because he is wanted on murder charges. He's missed his court date and now Vinnie wants Steph to track him down. Although she refuses Vinnie's demands she still starts checking for him anyway. She wants to know and we need to know what has happened to Ranger.

She ends up with Ranger popping in at all hours of the night to get some steamy flirting in and to find out any information she might have discover on the Ramos family (a gun running family whose son he is suspected of killing). Ranger doesn't want to ask her, but soon has to because she falls into the good graces of Homer Ramos (Head of the Ramos family). Stephanie ends up in a wild goose chase of searching for the real killer and her own doubts of whether Ranger could have done the killing or not.

Steph gets two new roommates Grandma Mazur and Bob the Dog. She's got a huge pimple and isn't getting any sleep because Grandma snores and Ranger keeps popping in in the middle of the night.

This is just a bit of the fun Stephanie is in for this time because she's got all that wonderful chemistry with Ranger that keeps scarying her to death and Bob and Lula along for the ride.

This is another great one for Janet. I just can't wait for each new book. When a new one comes out I preorder as soon as I can eagerly awaiting it's arrival and each time I go through the entire series prior to reading the newest book.

These books are better each time I read them. I am so glad I found this series. I'll keep reading them as long as she keeps writing them. :)

Summary: Stephanie's back and sassy as ever
Review: Homer Ramos has been killed and the building he was in set on fire. The accused is none other than Ranger! When Stephanie's cousin Vinnie tries to assign this FTA to Stephanie she refuses big time. No way will she even attempt to bring in Ranger. The file is then given to Stephanie's rival, Joyce Barnhardt. Stephanie has other bad guys to catch though and somehow becomes employed by Ranger. She also has two new roomates when Grandma Mazur moves in after a disagreement with Stephanie's parents, and when she is conned into "dog sitting" cop Brian Simon's dog while he's "away". The Golden Retriver, Bob, becomes part of Stephanie's wacky family, and wins the hearts of the reader.

This book was awesome. Stephanie is as sassy as ever, and Grandma Mazur is as wild and loveable as expected. The addition of Bob to the mix was entertaining and made the book fun to read. There were also two new off the wall characters--Mooner and Dougie, a.k.a The Dealer. These two seemed to be molded after Beevis and Butthead. They were likable in their own odd way. And of course, no Stephanie Plum novel would be complete without the irresistable Joe Morelli and the dangerous Ranger.

The plot of this story was great. It was well written and moved along at a fast and steady pace. There is enough action and laughs to keep the reader turning pages as fast as they can. The characters are all charming and quirky, if not a little (ok, maybe a lot)mixed up in the head. This just adds to the entertainment of the book and makes it more fun to read.

Also, the prologue of Hot Six answers the mystery at the end of High Five. If you've read High Five and wondered about the mystery man at the end, the beginning of Hot Six will end the suspense.

Hot Six is a fun, wacky, crazy, entertaining read. Packed with laughs and chills it is a book to recommend. A keeper by far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STEPHANIE NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!
Review: Never one to disappoint, Steph is back again with another rollicking bounty hunter adventure. This time, though, Ranger is FTA...and Joyce Bernhardt is determined to bring him in.

But Joyce is not the only one looking for Ranger; Morelli needs to talk to him, the Ramos crime family believes he has their money, and the crime-fighting community at large seems to believe that he is responsible for a murder.

And the world is tailing Steph--believing that she will eventually lead them to Ranger. The usual characters are here of course (Grandma Mazur, Lula, The Parents) and a couple of new ones are introduced--equally funny of course. Add to that the fact that Steph has "acquired" a new pet--a mutt called Bob that
that Steph was tricked into dogsitting--only to find out that his owner hasn't gone anywhere!!

And of course, the usual heat is on--between Morelli and Steph, and Ranger and Steph.....loved it!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ops Rangers the Bad guy!
Review: Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter has been told by her cousin to bring in Ranger. Seems Ranger was the last person to see a another guy alive. Anyway the book starts of with our favorite cast of characters. Not to mention Grandma's taken to pack'n a .45 hand cannon in her purse! Poor Stephanie, her on again off again relationship with Morelli is currently off and she's getting death threats as usual. Its another good romping read in the day and life of Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter. Definately worth the read, especially if your a Plum fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jersey Girls Rock!!
Review: Another fun one from Evanovich! This time Ranger's definitely on the wrong side of the law, and Stephanie's the one who's got to bring him in. As you can imagine, that is easier said than done. And, of course, Stephanie has some other obstacles to peace and happiness, including her Grandmother who is now living with her, a deranged killer wanting her for his next victim, and Bob, the canine eating-pooping machine. This one proves as enjoyable as the rest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another enjoyable entry in the series
Review: Heard the taped version of HOT SIX, another enjoyable entry in
author Janet Evanovich's series about bounty hunter Stephanie
Plum . . . this time the plot centers around a fellow bounty
hunter, Ranger, who Stephanie may or may not have a thing
for . . . but then again, there's also vice cop Joe Morelli--her
ongoing flame . . . and on top of that, there's crazy Grandma
Mazur who moves in with Stephanie, along with a dog she
more or less inherits . . . if it sounds wacky, that's because

it is . . . however, I had fun listening--and you will too . . . I'll
now want to read or listen to the next book in the series,
especially to find out if Bob (the dog) has become a regular
character . . . I hope he does . . . Debi Mazur does a superb
job narrating, sounding exactly as I would think that Stephanie
would.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: light and funny
Review: It's fun and easy read. It doesn't require much thinking. It doesn't build enough suspense to give thrill. It's not very original either. It's good for light and casual reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just as great as the 1st
Review: A building owned by a black-market arms dealer has burned down, leaving one of the owner's sons dead inside with a bullet hole. Expert bounty hunter, Ranger, was caught on video at the scene and is the number-one suspect. Ranger was once special forces and moves in mysterious circles, "like the wind." Nobody finds Ranger unless he wants to be found. Stephanie Plum, Trenton's "bounty hunter from hell," sees Ranger as her mentor and lately a bit more than a friend. He's taught her all she knows about the fugitive apprehension business. But if she can bring him in, will she?

Meanwhile, two crackpot thugs are tailing Stephanie, hoping she'll lead them to Ranger. Grandma Mazur is Stephanie's new roommate, along with Bob, a golden retriever who'll eat anything and everything. All these roommates are putting a wicked cramp into Steph's love-life. Grandma's also taking driving lessons. Look out, New Jersey!

Steph's also trying to apprehend a wining madman wielding a tire iron, but she always comes prepared. "Stun gun in my left pocket. Pepper spray in my right pocket. Cuffs hooked to the back loop on my Levi's. Gun at home, in the cookie jar. Courage at home, with the gun."

Fortunately, she's got Lula. "Lula does filing for Vinnie, and she helps me out when I need backup. Since I'm not the world's best bounty hunter, and Lula isn't the world's best backup, it's more often than not like the amateur-hour version of The Best of 'Cops' Bloopers," or Lucy and Ethel's Big Adventure.

Steph's frustrated love-interest, Trenton vice cop, Joe Morelli, is also looking for Ranger. The wacky cast of characters gets a couple of new additions, along with 2 car wrecks, 2 car fires, 1 shirt fire, 1 kidnapping and 1 dognapping. Fans of the Stephanie Plum series will, once again, laugh out loud in this hilarious 6th installment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hot Stuff
Review: Gotta love it. The sixth book in the Stephanie Plum series, and it's still fresh, hilarious and just plain good. Bondsman cousin Vinnie wants Ranger brought in, and Stephanie is right in the middle of it all. Bringing back some of the wonderful characters we are used to, adding several more, and giving us that dose of the Plum family we simply must have, makes this book hard to put down. Now.. what do I read next? The 7th Plum novel? Mmmm ... maybe. (Of course!) The 7th Plum novel would be good. Probably I should go get it right now. (Oh, Lord. I'm starting to talk her! It's okay - she is one cool dudette.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stephanie Plum Has More Crazies On Her Back!!
Review: Here we go again. Stephanie Plum is faced with her most daunting task yet: bring in the mysterious former Special Forces agent Carlos Manoso (aka Ranger). Ranger has taught Stephanie everything she knows about fugitive apprehension, and Stephanie knows she will be testing her skills against the master. But if she does discover where he's at, (which she does), she can't turn him in, even if he is supposedly wanted for murder.

And, if this isn't enough already, her very eccentric Grandmother Mazur is crimping her sex life. Grandma Mazur can't get along so well at home with Stephanie's parents, so she moves in with Stephanie. Now Stephanie can't exactly mess around with Joe Morelli, her cop boyfriend with Grandma around.

And last but not least, Stephanie has two threatening goons on her tail, and three corpses-so far-it's getting a little too hot for Stephanie as she tries to solve all these crazy dilemmas she's in.

A great fun book to read!
