So may be this book doesn’t deserve four stars (it isn’t world class literature after all) but, what the heck, why not give it four stars just for being so drop dead hysterical. When I go looking for a book, I want something that will carry me away and make me laugh, no matter how stressed out I might be at the time. One for the Money definitely fills the bill; from the first page to the last, Stephanie’s antics will have readers roaring with laughter. And you know what they say about laughter, it’s good for the soul.
On to the story, in the beginning of the book Stephanie has been fired from her job as a lingerie buyer and is desperately searching for work in order to pay her bills. Her last resort is to get a job working as a bail bonds enforcement agent for her cousin Vinnie's company. Her very first job is to bring in Joe Morelli, a local cop who is now runn, and someone Stephanie knows very well. Morelli and Stephanie have a lot of history together, good and bad, but they haven’t spoken since Stephanie tried to run Morelli over with her father’s Buick. Stephanie’s attempts to catch Morelli are, well, pathetic to say the least, but hey you have to give the girl kudos for trying. Hopefully, Ranger, Stephanie’s hot new coworker can teach her a few new tricks, because Stephanie’s going to need all the help she can get.
Just like a stuffed jelly donut, this book oozes sassy dialogue and questionable good sense with a hefty dollop of raucous humor on the side. If you’re looking for a light and funny book, look no farther; I highly recommend this one. (less)
