I really enjoyed reading One for the Money by Janet Evanovich!

Imagine jumping into a job where you stick out like a sore thumb, you fit in nowhere, and it's pretty much learn as you go. Well Stephanie Plum as just done all this and more after being canned as a discount lingerie buyer.

Hard up for cash and about to be evicted, Stephanie takes a job as a bounty hunter, and gets landed with Joe Morelli, the gorgeous, seductive, possibly murderous cop who once boinked her beside some eclairs!

I love the love/hate relationship between Plum and Morelli!

The book is written from Stephanie's point of view and it's one you can believe and maybe even see yourself in.

On her mission to find and capture Morelli and in turn collect her $10,000, Stephanie runs into some questionable and downright evil characters! I personally LOVE her Grandma Mazur! I imagine Betty White mixed with the grandmother from the Wedding Crashers!

All in the name of making a buck...what's a girl gonna do?

All in all, One for the Money is a great book and a great start to what I hope will be a great series!

For witty banter, delicious characters, and situations you can only laugh out loud about, this book is it!

If I HAD to find anything to complain about...I wasn't fussed how it ended so quickly. This is probably because it's part of the series and Janet Evanovich is leaving me wanting more. So, if this is why, it totally worked because I now can't wait to read the second book in the series, Two for the Dough!
