Plot Summary of Hot Six
"Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is here again and faced with her most daunting task yet: bring in the mysterious former Special Forces agent Carlos Manoso (aka Ranger). He's the man who taught her everything she knows about fugitive apprehension, and Stephanie knows that she is testing her skills against the master. But if she does catch him, she's not so sure she can turn Ranger in-even if he is wanted for murder.

Along with everything else, Stephanie's eccntric Grandmother Mazur is moving in after not getting along with Stephanie's parents at home. She is putting a crimp in Steph's sex life with Joe Morelli. And if that isn't enough. Stephanie has two goons that are following her around all the time-and they are dangerous as ever. Stephanie is trying to keep away from them, and find out what they are up to before she gets hurt really bad!

An exciting story as ever. This book will keep any reader entertained all the way through."

Boppy, Resident Scholar

"Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum and sexy vice cop Joe Morelli team up to find a killer. Stephanie's friend and teacher, equally sexy bounty hunter, Ranger is suspected of the crime and Stephanie is using the skills he taught her to hunt him. To complicate matters, her pistol packing grandmother has moved in with her, she has been conned into adopting a golden retriever with an eating disorder and a homicidal boxer wants her to be his next victim.

"
