Review: High Five (Stephanie Plum Series #5) by Janet Evanovich

Another high five from me for Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series!

Literally, from the title page I was hooked   I borrowed High Five from the library, and it seems it was a copy donated by a very nice woman named Nancy.  Janet Evanovich had signed the book, "Nancy, Damn Skippy! Janet Evanovich"  I had to take a few minutes to ponder what those two women were talking about before I could begin reading. 

I swear, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.  Hysterical!!

The bounty hunter business is slow these days, so Stephanie Plum has been asked by her family to follow up on her Uncle Fred's disappearance.  Even that investigation is going slow, so she takes on a "small" FTA (Failure to Appear) case...a case that won't go away, as in, won't leave her apartment.  Still, she needs to pay her rent (and the bill for a hot dress she bought to wear to a Morelli wedding) and starts moonlighting for Ranger, her mentor in the bounty hunter business.  Only, Ranger gets her adrenaline flowing for reasons other than violence, if you know what I mean.

In between eating a bag full of candy in the middle of the night, getting her car blown up (again) and getting shot at (again), Stephanie has to juggle two of the hottest men in New Jersey.  

Ms. Evanovich, you sly gal you!!!  You're killing me with this ending!!!   (No spoilers...trust me)
