Evanovich is at her best spinning the bizarre subplots involving Stephanie's bail jumpers, but the larger s

"A FOUR STAR BOOK" according to Karol Love. Stephanie Plum is a bond enforcement agent, working for her cousin Vinnie. She is not the best bounty hunter but because of her tenacity and just plain stubbornness, she always seems to track her skips down and eventually apprehends them. Which is pretty good considering she typically does not have her gun with her, and even if she did it most likely wouldn't have bullets in it. She is constantly losing her cuffs, forgets to charge her stun gun every night and . Review from Red Adept Reviews Overall Review from Red Adept Reviews Heather B Overall 4 ½ starsPlot/Storyline 4I always think of this sort of book as a bubblegum book - sweet, chewy, and lacking any substance. That doesn't make it bad in any way, instead, it's a wonderful diversion from an overly busy life.

I understand that there are a lot of people who were disappointed with Sizzling Sixteen. You cannot approach the Stephanie Plum series expecting the rules of the "real world" to apply. That's why these books are the perfect summer reads: they are light-hearted, funny, sometimes silly, and totally implausible. Implausible, you say? Yes!
