In Twelve Sharp, Stephanie’s life is complicated when Mrs. Ranger shows up ready to shoot her. When Ranger’s daughter is also kidnapped and Ranger is on the run, Stephanie has to determine what is going on as well as try to bring in some FTAs to pay her rent. Soon she finds herself running for her life.

I love the colorful secondary characters, such as Melvin Pickle. I love the name, especially as he is a “pervert.” This alone made me laugh. Other returning characters such as Lula and Grandma are hilarious.

Of course I have to mention my favorite part, the love triangle between Stephanie, Ranger, and Joe Morelli. Stephanie finds herself in love with both men, and I feel for her. I love in this novel that we get more detail about Ranger. I love a good love triangle, but after twelve books, I just want her to pick one!

Overall, a quick, funny action story with a great mystery that kept me entertained throughout. If you haven’t read any Evanovich, I highly recommend One For the Money. (show less)

  One of her absolute best books in the series, this one finds a mysterious woman in black claiming to be Ranger's wife. As he is in the wind, Steph tries to figure out the mystery, then the action intensifies as Ranger's daughter is kidnapped. Amid Janet's trademark humor (the Pleasure Treasures scene with Tank helping on the takedown is simply hysterical), the bad guy stalker is captured and the book ends with the best line of the entire series. The triangle heats up when Steph's living ... (show more)

  One of her absolute best books in the series, this one finds a mysterious woman in black claiming to be Ranger's wife. As he is in the wind, Steph tries to figure out the mystery, then the action intensifies as Ranger's daughter is kidnapped. Amid Janet's trademark humor (the Pleasure Treasures scene with Tank helping on the takedown is simply hysterical), the bad guy stalker is captured and the book ends with the best line of the entire series. The triangle heats up when Steph's living situation is complicated by the appearance of Ranger, who ends up in her bed, kissing her low enough on her body (in the author's words) to put a smile on her face. Steph comes to a realization about both the men in her life when the action comes to a head and Ranger must risk his life to save that of his child. (show less)

  My trashy crime novels. Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter in Trenton, New Jersey. She lives with her pet hamster Rex, keeps her gun in the cookie jar, and is always getting in over her head. Her side-kicks Lula, an ex-prostitute, and her crazy Grandma Mazur are often there to make things worse. Joe Morelli, her on-again, off-again cop boyfriend, and Ranger, her hunky bounty hunter friend, are either there to save the day or to witness her amazing, and often hilarious, success. The books ...

The books have some bad language in them, in keeping with the spirit of the characters, but they are mostly just funny. Easy reads and a fun escape. (show less)
