The Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich
Meet Stephanie Plum. After getting fired from her job as a lingerie buyer, she blackmails her cousin Vinnie, a bail bonder, into giving her a job as a bounty hunter. From there she meets plenty of people she'll want to forget, people who drive her insane, and people who are the ones to keep close. In Trenton, New Jersey, she was born and raised in the Burg, where her parents still live with her Grandma Mazur. A new, green bounty hunter, she enlists the help of a man named Carlos "Ranger" Manoso in capturing her first skip: Joesph Morelli. But things don't quite go as planned.
This HILARIOUS story begins in One for the Money, is followed by Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly, Four to Score, High Five, Hot Six, Seven Up, Hard Eight, To The Nines, Ten Big Ones, Eleven on Top, Twelve Sharp, Lean Mean Thirteen, Fearless Fourteen, Finger Lickin Fifteen, and the newest installment, Sizzling Sixteen.

Janet Evanovich makes you double over in laughter. Witty, simple, yet elegant, she creates brilliantly real and hilarious characters and situations while diving into the life of a bounty hunter and the things Stephanie must learn. With characters like Lula, the former 'ho turned file clerk and Stephanie's trigger happy sidekick with a XXL body and attitude, and Morelli, the sexy Trenton cop that off and on wants Stephanie in his life, not to mention her insane family and job, Evanovich creates a world I could kill to live in.
Ranger, the sexy Cuban, expert bounty hunter and head of his own security company, Rangeman, calls her "Babe," and constantly poaches on Morelli's almost territory, giving Steph one good shiver before disappearing. We see a bit of Ranger's sexuality and secrets in the books. He's made a lot of ugly promises to the US government, and is often in the wind, and Steph knows he keeps secrets, but with Ranger's mask in place, it's tough to decipher exactly what he thinks.
Morelli, the lean, fit, adorable cop who becomes Steph's off-again, on-again boyfriend wants her to marry him some days and wants to kill her others. On odd days he wants to marry her and on even she wants to marry him. It doesn't always match up exactly. He thinks her job is too dangerous and it is, but even Joe can't keep Steph down.
In Hot Six, Steph says, "two of the men on my list of desirables actually desire me back, the problem being that they both sort of scare the hell out of me." Yeah, well love is tough. Grandma Mazur loves viewings at the local mortuary, Lula and Steph love Cluck in a Bucket and Tasty Pastry, Ranger loves staying fit and eating healthy food, and Morelli loves Stephanie...in his own way. And I love this series. If you're looking for laughs, definitely read this amazing series.
