Smokin Hot Summer Reading

Hot summer days and hot summer books go hand in hand! 
Especially for those that like reading at the beach.  Our first official book review of the summer is Smokin' Seventeen: A Stephanie Plum Novel.

She's back, who can believe Stephanie Plum is staring in book seventeen, though there was no fourteen, but there were four mini Plum "holiday" books so count them how you like.  Anyway, it's hard to keep a character fresh and exciting after they appear in so many books, but I am happy to report I really enjoyed Smokin Seventeen! 

I laughed a lot throughout the book, and for those of you who know Stephanie Plum, you know to laugh at her is to love her.  For those of you not familiar with the character let's just say Stephanie Plum is a lousy bounty hunter who usually ends up surrounded by dead bodies and lucking into not getting herself killed too.

 In Smokin Seventeen Plum finds herself wanted dead by two different people and the object of a serial killers affections.  Thrown into the mix are her steady dates Morelli and Ranger, both of whom get to see some action.  Stephanie's Mom and Dad, Grandma and Lula all have great supporting roles this time.  I am very bummed though that they did not pick Neicy Nash to play Lula in the movie!  Katherine Heigl is slated to play Stephanie and I believe the movie comes out in 2012 for book one.

For readers who enjoy humor, a good thrill and a crazy cast of characters the Stephanie Plum books are super summer reads!

Share this Plum novel or choose from other great new bestsellers when you give a Book Bouquet gift basket.  Great for summer birthdays, get well gifts, retirement and bon voyage gifts.
