Bakers Dozen 13

The Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich

Ok so I'm cheating with this one and I'm using the whole series.  I really couldn't pick just one book in this series that I have read.  Seriously with all of the funny antics that Janet Evanovich writes in her stories, how can you just pick one.  Again this was another series/author that Kristi suggested (honestly if she had her own blog I'd probably be linking her all the time on this site.)

The basic plot for the whole series starts when Stephanie Plum gets let go from her job and she's desperate for money.  It just so happens that her cousin Vinny has a bail bonds agency and needs some help, so Stephanie decided to become a bounty hunter (or a Bail Bonds Agent, the more correct job title).  Honestly because she isn't equip for it, hilarity ensues.  Through out the books there is an array of crazy characters and some are recurring.  I have to say Grandma Mazur is my favorite, I fell in love with her character from the first book when she shot the butt end off the turkey at the dinner table, and as the series progresses Grandma's character never fails to pump up the hilarity factor.

These books, seriously have me staying up all of hours of the night giggling my ass off.  How Janet Evanovich was able to come up with the crazy characters and scenarios and yet they seem normal I have no idea.  I do have to say though, there is a bit of romance.  But the romance is very plausible and Stephanie's emotions are written in a way that everyone can relate too.  While a majority of the book is based off of the bounty jobs, there is underlying story lines that continue through out the stories concerning family, romance, and the fact that Stephanie Plum always has a car destroyed.

If you ever need a good belly laugh, I suggest the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.  You will no be disappointed.
