Mooner, Ranger, homicidal maniacs, a Rollswagon, dog poo, a dead guy in a lawn chair, the nemesis from hell, a Star Trek party and eccentric Grandma Mazur all make up my favorite Stephanie Plum novel so far! Lots of laugh-out-loud moments and great secondary characters.
This was the first Stephanie Plum novel I read. You can start in the middle of the series, but it's so much more fun beginning with #1.
Stephanie Plum is perhaps the most inept bounty hunter ever, but she manages to capture most of the FTA's assigned to her. Probably because she's got the help of Ranger, the sexiest, most successful bounty hunter ever. When things go wrong, and they always do, she can count on her sometimes boyfriend, Joe Morelli, to keep her out of jail.

Stephanie Plum is back in Hot Six with all of the humor and bad luck her readers have come to expect. This book is action-packed and filled with eccentric characters, some returning and some new to the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the previous five books in this series, but this one may be my favorite so far.
Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter not so extraordinaire, is told by her cousin and boss, Vinnie, that he has a bond jumper for her to locate. When Stephanie finds that it is former Special Force...more

Mystery. Stephanie Plum! Being tailed. Again! Car on fire. Again! Has an unwelcome houseguest. Again! I was warned these books get predictable, but I...didn't think it'd be this bad? Okay, okay, I'm shaking it off.
This here's the book where Ranger's wanted for questioning in connection to a fire and also a murder and has Stephanie doing stakeouts for him. During the course of the investigation, she picks up a dog and a roommate, and then a couple more roommates. Ranger's pretty frisky here. Mor...more

What's the difference between a formula and an in-joke? I suspect it's merely whether or not they still make you laugh, so I'm still OK with this series. Yes, Stephanie really should find time for some more target practice, get over her gun-phobia, fit some proper locks on her door and learn to regulate her spending so she's not always desperate for money but hey guys this is fiction - you know, made-up stuff, and, what is more, made-up stuff that isn't taking itself too seriously. So although I...more
Oh, Morelli... I just needed to express that. I was only going to give this book four stars until that decision was swayed in the end by said individual. And I'll add that I really don't think I would mind it much if a muscular Italian Jersey cop called me "cupcake"...

In this case, there was no money to be had, because if Ranger didn't want to be found, he wasn't going to be found. End of discussion.

And, truth is, there's been a growing sexual attraction between us which scares the hell out of me. So my feelings for Ranger were complicated to begin with, and now I added a sense of doom to the list of unwanted emotions.

Stephanie Plum has grown up with half the cops and crooks in Trenton, which compensates for her poor aim with a gun, bad luck with cars and soft-hearted approach to her job (one bail jumper evades her four times). The police are after her mentor, the mysterious Ranger, wanted for killing drug and gun dealer Homer Ramos. Claiming he's innocent, Ranger persuades Steph to help him keep an eye on the Ramos clan. Steph teams up with her lover, vice cop Joe Morelli, then strikes out on her own when sh...more
Stephanie's hot beau Ranger is in deep shit. He is, as Ranger would say, in the wind. Ranger is suspected of killing a mobsters son/brother. He was caught on video coming out of the building, and moments later the building is on fire. No one knows where Ranger is, he has skipped bail, and Vincent wrote the bail on him.
So Vincent tells Stephanie she has to do it or he's going to give it to Joyce...you would think that wold have been enough for her to take it, but she did not. We all know Ranger...more

Once again, Janet Evanovich has outdone herself and created another amazing installation of the Stephanie Plum series. It's hard to believe that any one person could get into so much trouble, but the way that Evanovich writes, it's very easy to believe that Stephanie is a walking disaster. Her life is unbelievable compared to our standards, but with her it just seems right. Especially with the whole sexy triangle between Morelli, Stephanie, and Ranger. I usually hate it when the storyline projec...more
It's Plum time again as Stephanie hits the books for Hot Six, the Sixth book of course in the series. Like the previous ones, I think what attracts readers is the amount of fun trouble and ideas that Stephanie has and gets up too, I love the humour in it. In Hot Six , the big bucks is on Ranger and since he is like the bounty hunter God and Stephanie knows there is no way he is going to turn himself in or let himself be captured she passes this one on to Joyce which of course never goes to well...more

My Review: Hot Six is another great audiobook by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum is one hell of a bounty hunter… well, sometimes. She’s hilarious and constantly surrounded by drama. This time it’s different though, she’s expected to bring in her friend and fellow bounty hunter, Ranger. Yup, same Ranger that has given her hot flashes in the past.

After reading the paperbacks in order, I've recently begun reading these books in their unabridged audiobook form in reverse order. I started with #8 (Hard Eight), recently finished up #7 (Seven Up) and the latest listen has been Hot Six. Reading these backwards has been an eye-opening experience and I'm now able to pinpoint exactly where things began to become repetitive for me as a reader (the very beginning of book #7, for those interested).

When Stephanie's friend and mentor, Ranger, ends up on their office's "failure to appear" list, the police and bounty hunters aren't the only ones looking for him. He's the last person known to have spoken with a murdered member of an infamous crime family, and a lot of the people with an interest in the case think Stephanie can lead them to their man. She tries to help Ranger clear his name while her apartment becomes a temporary refuge for a pair of stoners, her grandmother, and a dog named Bo...more

I went off Janet Evanovich and her sassy bounty-hunter heroine Stephanie Plum for a while, because I thought I detected the emergence of the dreaded LOVE TRIANGLE erupting between Stephanie and the two eligible bachelors around town, Joe Morelli (cop) and Ranger (fellow bounty hunter and general entrepreneur), at the end of “High Five”. And I really hate love triangles, I mean I REALLY hate them. They go on forever, they can’t possible have a happy ending, there’s way too much useless inner turm...more

Hands down Evanovich is my FAVORITE author!! You can always expect to bust out laughing when reading any book in this series. The antics of both Grandma Mazur and Lula make me laugh so much my eyes water...and I don't know who's hotter Morelli or Ranger :-) I'm not going to review each individual book since the series is so long but I will say that every book is well written and Evanovich has THE best writing style around. I'm always blown away by the strong and realistic dialogue which makes th...more
In this sixth installment of the Stephanie Plum series, the police are after the mysterious Ranger, who happens to be Stephanie's mentor, because he is wanted for the murder of Homer Ramos, a drug and gun dealer. Vinny, the owner of the bail bond company who is also Stephanie's cousin, wants Stephanie to bring Ranger in but she refuses. Ranger claims he is innocent and Stephanie believes him so she agrees to help him by keeping an eye on the Ramos family.

When Stephanie goes to get her latest bounty job from her cousin Vinny, she is amazed that it is for Ranger, a fellow bounty hunter and one major heart throb. She turns it down because she thinks Ranger is innocent of murdering Homer Ramos, the head of a crime family.

This is the sixth book in the Stephanie Plum series, New Jersey's hysterical bounty hunter. In this book, Stephanie is asked to pick up Ranger who missed his court date! Not only is Ranger her friend and fellow bounty hunter, but he is her mentor. Ranger is also wanted by the police for questioning in the murder of an organized crime figure. Can she do this and go after her friend? Stephanie of course believes Ranger is innocent and if anything, only kills bad guys but this is still a test of he...more
So Ranger really starts to turn up the heat on Stephanie and his feelings (lust or more substantive) as she helps him prove his innocence in a murder investigation. I like the introduction of Bob the dog . . . another wacky character. Joyce continues to instill frustration and rage within me--can't someone put a hit on her (not that I condone violence). There is a proposal at the end of the book that seems drivin by sex deprivation (Joe's beeper and Grandma Moser's new roommate status for Stepha...more
I’m going to try to keep this short and sweet because sometimes posts about books that are further on in a series can get a little confusing. In a few sentences, Janet Evanovich’s series follows lingerie-saleswoman-turned-bounty-hunter Stephanie Plum as she hunts down New Jersey’s finest bail-skippers. With side-kicks like her gun-toting Grandma and a former prostitute named Lula, Steph is the most unconventional bounty hunter her cousin, Vinnie Plum, has ever employed. The hijinks Stephanie get...more
It would appear that Ranger is in trouble. Stephanie Plum's colleague, mentor, and possible future lover is the only suspect in the murder of a member of a New Jersey crime family. Now that he's missed a court date, our bounty hunter heroine needs to bring him in. Sought by the police, a bond agency, a crime family, and a drug lord, Ranger's a hot target, and because Stephanie seems to be the only person he gets in touch with, Stephanie's being watched too.

I wanted to know the end of High Five so bad that I started reading this book straight away. It's again filled with very funny moments, but it doesn't have as many explosions as the previous instalment. But don't worry, instead of explosions we get Bob: the wonder dog that eats (and therefore poops) like a cow! Besides this great addition, Stephanie is surprised by both grandma Mazur moving in with her and Ranger's disappearance. Ranger is the last person caught on tape leaving a murder scene, a...more
I think I'm going to give up on the series after reading the first 6 books. I like the fast paced story line and I understand it's not the type of book to have much character development, and I really don't mind that but what I mostly can't stand are love triangles that do not get resolved within a book or so, and I am afraid this series looks like it's going to be one loooooong lasting love triangle (judging by the summary of book 18 that just came out). Another thing I can't stand is that Step...more
In Hot Six, Stephanie’s bounty hunting mentor, Ranger, has been seen on camera walking out of a meeting with Homer Ramos, who is found minutes later with a bullet in his head and his body burnt to a crisp. Although the blurb makes it sound like it’s up to Stephanie to find him, she refuses to look because she knows he’s much better than she is at the bounty hunter business.

This is another Plum book that gets a more-or-less automatic four stars from me for heavily featuring Ranger.
Usually I like to read other things between the Plum books because it helps break up the repetition, but given the end of the fifth book, I NEEDED to start the sixth immediately and see what happened.
Now our love triangle is really heating up and it's time to focus some more on Ranger. Fine by me, because I love Ranger! I liked that this book had a lot of similarities to the first one. I...more

I'm working my way through the series, finished this one last Friday and I'm already half way through the next one, Seven Up. This one had me laughing so much I ended up telling my kids about 60 percent of the story because they'd hear me laugh and want to know what was so funny. So I'd have to explain the main character, a tiny bit of the back story and then what was making me giggle in the scene. Most of the time they laughed too. (Always better when they do that than when they give you frozen...more
