It kind of explains how Stephanie got into her line of work and her "love triangle" situation.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-91448829365118235892010-09-20T01:28:08.897-04:002010-09-20T01:28:08.897-04:00I see the shelf full of Evanovich books every time...I see the shelf full of Evanovich books every time I'm at the bookstore but I've never actually picked one up. By the sounds of your review maybe I should, though I'd best start with the first one.Evelyn Applegatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06871705818657918387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-5800078026215396262010-09-17T11:55:42.351-04:002010-09-17T11:55:42.351-04:00@caitieflum - I tweeted you about her, but to answ...@caitieflum - I tweeted you about her, but to answer the question for anyone else wondering - I read a couple of Evanovich's stand alone romances and have no memory of them. At all. I vaguely remember liking them okay, but nothing else. I like the Stephanie Plum series more that her Full series, so if you want to give Evanovich a try, I's suggest reading One for the Money and if you like it, continuing the series.<br><br>@ebony - Yes, definitely. I've read a few reviews where the books get bashed for being ludicrously improbable. The thing is, if you read the series one by one, the characters really suck you in and the mystery is kind of in the background (at least for me). These are definitely character driven books and if you grow to love the characters and the humor, the other stuff is just part of the fun experience.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-22534963061987804892010-09-17T10:57:03.885-04:002010-09-17T10:57:03.885-04:00I love her books.

I think it's brilliant how she saved the really zany, over-the-top stuff for now than we've fallen in love with the characters & more willing (eager?) to accept the improbable. I definitely recommend anyone trying this series for the first time start with book one or it would be hard to accept the slapstick humor.ebonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257260052653346841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-80770667174674642242010-09-17T09:52:14.126-04:002010-09-17T09:52:14.126-04:00I really need to give her a try alreadyI really need to give her a try alreadycaitieflumhttp://caitieflum.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
