Ten Big Ones is chock full of hot Ranger action. That may be a big reason as to why this is one of my absolute favorite Plum novels. The plot is actually believeable, and really quite thrilling. Stephanie finds herself in a really tough spot and moves into Rangers condo while hes away on business. Shes not sure if he knows shes there or not and dreads him coming home and finding out. Its really exciting stuff, and at times is quite funny. Ranger actually bursts out laughing at one point in the book, which fans of the series know, never happens. An excellent installment in the series.
The book blurb reads:

She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. Her mother's convinced she'll end up dead...or worse, without a man. She's Stephanie Plum and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thought it would sound good to put it that way...)

It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum...except that she becomes the target of a gang. And the target of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. With super bounty hunter Ranger acting more mysteriously than ever (and the tension with vice cop Joe Morelli getting hotter), Stephanie finds herself with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it-if she can find it. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment and Janet Evanovich is the best there is.

Between the adventure and the adversity there's attitude and Stephanie Plum's got plenty in TEN BIG ONES.
