Ten Big Ones by Janet Evanovich (2004)
This is another fast-and-easy, laugh-out-loud, can't-put-down, constant-action book. You've gotta LOVE it!!! I certainly did.
After Steph and Lula witness a robbery at the local market and shoot and destroy the perp's get-away vehicle (his bicycle), they see his face when he yanks off his mask in utter frustration. As a result, he's bound and determined to wipe them out before they can identify him, and with a hit contract out on them, they go on the run with the Slayers gang hot on their heels. In desperation, Steph borrows one of Ranger's SUV's, and with the help of a forgotten GPS system she manages to stumble onto, back-tracks the system to Ranger's hideaway. Could it be the infamous "bat-cave"? (You'll have to read the book, because that's all I'm going to say on THAT subject.)
With the Slayers stalking her, she figures the safest place to hide is Ranger's place, and 'breaks in' to his 'ultra-secure' domain despite the security. He's on a secret mission for the next few days, and Steph 'moves in', eating his food, sleeping in his bed, and wallowing in his decadent bath gel (which is why he always smells so delicious).
Meanwhile, 'perfect' sis, Valerie, plans a Kloughn wedding, and the whole family takes over, literally shoving her aside and making her life miserable.
There's so much going on in this book, more character developement with most of the characters, another car explosion (what would the Plum series be without Steph's cars exploding???), more steamy sexual escapades, and more wonderfully lovable characters (Sally Sweet, the resident punk-rocking drag queen, returns!).
This book is definitely another hit with readers!!!Read full review
