Rating: Summary: HOT SIX Review: What can I say I love this Stephanie Plum mystery they are all very good. My favorite is the first. I love her grandmother.
Rating: Summary: Laugh a minute or at least a page Review: My wife has read all of Evanovich's books to date,listening to her laugh her way through I decided I must be missing something. I found it great,having owned a business during the 70's in Hamtramck Michigan I found many of her characters to be closer to fact than fiction. I have known many personalities that she discribes. I am sure she has led a close life to her stories to write so well on them. I plan to read more of her books in the future, I have no doubt they will be better than the first,and it was outstanding.
Rating: Summary: Hillarious Review: Janet Evanovich out did her self with HOT SIX, the best so far in her Stephanie Plum series. Plum, bungling but lovable bounty hunter, acquires a dog then Grandma moves in and the riot that follows will have you laughing so hard you have to put the book down for a brief breather just to gain control. Plum's instincts are 'right on' and often keep the ultra nosy apprehension agent alive. I was already an Evanovich fan, this book just cemented the affair. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Beverly J Scott author of Righteous Revenge
Rating: Summary: More Fabulous Fun with Stephanie Plum! Review: "Hot Six" by Janet Evanovich is another great addition to the hilariously funny and downright wonderful Stephanie Plum series. After six books in the series, Evanovich shows no signs that this series is getting stale, providing readers with another fast-paced and exciting read. Trenton New Jersey's most incompetent bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum herself, is back and better than ever, ready to once again sweep readers up into her immensely entertaining life. In this sixth instalment, Stephanie is faced with something she never expected to happen. When Homer Ramos, the son of black-market arms dealer Alexander Ramos, is found shot in his father's fire-gutted office building, the only person on the security cameras with Homer is Stephanie's fellow bounty hunter Ranger. But Ranger has disappeared, and he missed a court date in the process, so Vinnie asks Stephanie to find Ranger and bring him in. Well not only is Ranger a former mercenary who won't be found if he doesn't want to be, he's also Stephanie's mentor and friend and Stephanie will have nothing to do with trying to catch him. But of course Stephanie's bound to get involved one way or another, and when Ranger starts making late night visits to her apartment, she soon finds herself doing rather disastrous surveillance on the Ramos family and getting closer and closer to the wrong side of the law! Stephanie's problems start piling up, and though she thinks her life is a disaster, we get an uproariously funny and suspenseful read as we watch Stephanie get herself into one mess after another. Grandma Mazur has moved into Stephanie's apartment after having a big blow-up with Steph's father, which is utterly ruining Stephanie's sex life with her sexy cop boyfriend Joe Morelli. Grandma Mazur is just as eccentric and amusing as ever, providing great comic relief. Lula, the 230lb ex-hooker is along for the ride too, and she always manages to make me laugh. Not to mention Bob, the hilarious golden retriever with an eating disorder who bounds into Stephanie's life one day and doesn't want to leave. But things quickly turn serious, and Stephanie finds herself being tailed everywhere she goes by two goons who are expecting Stephanie to lead them to Ranger. And if she doesn't, they promise Stephanie that very bad things are going to happen to her. An FTA wanted for murdering his wife gets given to Stephanie since Ranger is out of the picture, and he is no walk in the park to deal with. And it's not long before Stephanie is once again surrounded by corpses, wrecked cars, and terrifying threats. She's got the zit from hell, she's worried about herself and Ranger, and she is totally sexually frustrated. Tough for Stephanie, but tons of fun for readers! "Hot Six" contains an intriguing and well thought out mystery, and Evanovich provides her readers with a conclusion that will satisfy, but at the same time leave readers begging for "Seven Up". Evanovich has a great sense of humour, and she knows just how and where to use it to make us laugh. She also has a gift for blending a tight and suspenseful mystery with the humour that she does so well into one fabulous creation that works beautifully. "Hot Six" is a fantastic read and it comes very highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Janet Evanovich scored again with Hot Six Review: Just like all of the Stephanie Plum novels, Janet Evanovich has once again scored a hit with this book. You are taken for a thrill ride through her many adventures, and all of the old, familiar characters return from the previous books in the series. This book is a must for anyone who is into Janet Evanovich!
Rating: Summary: Evanovich does it again! Review: Once I picked this book up...I couldn't put it down! Evanovich has written another superb book taking us thru more of Stephanie Plum's hijinks. Between her luck with cars, her mishaps with FTA's, and her relationships with Ranger and Morelli, we never know where the next book will lead. This book is just like the rest! It left me craving more!
Rating: Summary: I'm Addicted to Evanovich Review: Well, what can I say. I started at "One For The Money" and I just can't get enough. I absolutely love this series ... if not for any other reason than a smile and a laugh! In this book we are introduced to "Bob." No, not another love interest for Stephanie but a great addition to her life. The last page of "High Five" left me saying "no!" Don't stop here! ... Which man, Morelli or Ranger, would Stephanie succumb to. Thank goodness I had "Hot Six" ready to go or I would have gone crazy waiting. As I said before, I love this series. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is because the storyline in all the books are the same with a new twist. AND, the chartacters seem to be the same with different names. BUT, that doesn't mean that you won't get optimum enjoyment out this book or any of the previous books in the series. In each book Stephanie, the bounty hunter, is bound to be shot at or her car is mutilated in some manner ... I guess the question is who will do it? The chartacters, Morelli, Ranger, Grandma Mazur, Lula, Rex and now "Bob" are all familiar throughout every book. Oh, don't forget mom and dan, uncle Vinnie and Connie too! I feel like I know all these chartacters personally. I love Stephanie's relationship with Morelli. From Book One to Six they have been developing slowly but surely. I think they are good together!
Rating: Summary: Hot Six Review: Fans of Stephanie Plum Jersey girl and bounty hunter will be happy to find out just whom Stephanie spent the night with, as it was left to one's imagination at the end of the preceding book, High Five. In this adventure, Stephanie learns that her friend and mentor, Carlos "Ranger" Manoso, is being sought for murder. Can Ranger be guilty? Stephanie helps to chase down a murderer and contend with two inept thugs, not to mention her growing attraction to one of the men in her life. Our heroine meets with the usual car-related misfortunes how many cars has this lady had destroyed? and the usual cast of colorful characters. The action is fast, and the dialog is sharp and flavored with Evanovich's broad humor. There's plenty of sexual banter and suspense to carry the listener along. C.J. Critt does a good job of giving each character a distinct personality; her voice paints pictures. Those who want an action-packed mystery laced with some steamy romance will love this audio. It's pure fun to enter Stephanie's universe, and who can't use an escape now and then? Go ahead, six is your lucky number.
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable as ever Review: Like the other Stephanie Plum novels: very funny, raunchy, difficult to put down. I like the way the characters reappear in the series, esp. grandma Mazur. Looking forward to the next book.
