Cars that are stolen, catch fire, or explode
The possiblity of romance with either vice cop Joe Morelli, or Ranger
The romantic subplot really accelerates in these two books. High Five ends on a cliffhanger with one of the two men visiting Stephanie for a romantic liaison, but the man's identity is not revealed. Hot Six begins with a prologue in which we find out who it was (no spoilers here!). Clearly both Joe and Ranger have a "thing" for Stephanie, and she has a "thing" for them, too. I suppose readers are equally divided on their favorite.
I enjoy this series as a diversion from more serious literature. This was perfect fare for a hot summer weekend.
Once again, it's Stephanie Plum, does things without thinking or learning anything from previous encounters and doesn't ever seem to think someone might be willing to kill or maim since she could never do that. I have to say I've listened to too many of these to close together and now while still funny, I'm finding her more annoying and stupid than really amusing. I'll have to wait 4-6 months before trying another one so I can really enjoy it again.
Stephanie's treatment of Morelli in the last
I still prefer to hear these on CD--very entertaining reader. But also a good beach read.
As Stephanie is doing her using bounty hunter business she is also helping out Ranger who is on the run. But as usual her snooping lands her in big trouble. With a new set of

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Hot Six at first because I’m a Ranger fan and at the beginning he’s being
I loved that Grandma Mazur moved in. She’s hilarious, always saying silly things. I can imagine her taking driving lessons, it’s kind of the same picture I see when I think of my brother driving. YIKES!
And what’s a good Stephanie novel without guns, fights and a little B&E? Action packed to say the least. Not to mention the gun cartel. Cartel’s always spice it up a notch. I can see Alexander Ramos running down the street with track suit on (all those guys wear track suits.)
Another book, something else I’m really liking. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I love the endings. This is one you have to immediately start Seven Up to see what happened. Cliff hanger I think is the appropriate word. What will Miss Stephanie do? Say yes to the proposal? Dum Dum Dum Dum….. until next time!
I give Hot Six 4 bookmarks.
