Story
You’ve lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car’s been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month’s rent. Now the rent is due again. And you live in New Jersey. What do you do? If you’re Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter; you go after the big money. That means a cop gone bad. And not just any cop. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man that took her virginity....

One thing I've learned about running a shelter for paranormal creatures, you can't afford to let your guard down. It all started when I welcomed an enchanting new guest to my plantation. Strange things started to happen. Well, more strange than usual. I was caught off guard by some conflicting feelings, and it spurred me on to get Brad, the love of my life, committed. To moving in with me, that is. In any case, I was willing to do whatever it took: love spells, black magic, and something so naughty I'd rather not mention it here.

Another Stephanie Plum
Good light-hearted "read" very similar to Janet Evanovich. While the writing didn't make me laugh out loud as does Evanovich it will make me smirk to myself. I have read several of the books by this author and enjoyed all. Plot is not too deep but has enough twists to keep you scratching your head. Super job done by the reader!!!

Fun fluffy read
On the whole I enjoyed this book. The characters are funny and the plot interesting. Normally I would give a 5 star rating but I can't. As funny as the characters and the different situations were they were a bit over the top. Wolly's involvement in the murder was forced and unrealistic. Also, there were a couple of times when I skipped ahead because the story seemed to drag and include unnecessary information. Kozak's writing style is smooth and entertaining, with engaging descriptions and witty dialogue which kept me engaged in the story. You won't be disappointed.

Mystery, quirky characters, and great fun!!
Wollie Shelley was working hard to have her franchise, "Wollie's Welcome Greetings", pass muster with the national offices, when she gets a strange phone call from her brother, PJ. PJ is happily living in the local mental hospital because of his schizophrenia, but an illness has caused him to be off his meds for a few days. He's calling Wollie, all upset about a dead body, but he's not making much sense in the telling, so Wollie drives out to the hospital to see what is going on. But there IS a dead body, as Wollie almost drives over it just before reaching the hospital entrance. When she gets into the hospital, she's waylaid by a man in scrubs, "Doc" is on the run from the Mafia, but he's definitely not a Doctor.
Thus begins this mystery that if fraught with strange occurrences and stranger characters. There's the temporarily mute daughter of Doc, with her pesky ferret, Margaret. There there are the men that Wollie must date to earn $5000---40 of them, to meet the requirements of the experiment by a talk show host for her book, How To Avoid Getting Dumped All The Time. Wollie should not be attracted to Doc, but she definitely is and gets sucked into his life and mystery.
This lighthearted book is full of danger and screwy situations, where fright and laughter can occur at just about the same time. Mixing the threat of murderers with her need to protect her brother, keeps Wollie in a mixing bowl of adventures, and she just might find the " right" man for her in the process. Am thrilled that a book club member chose this book to read--such fun with a great mystery too. Don't know which I liked better, the mystery or all the quirky characters, but I'll definitely be reading more from Kozak!

Meh.
It was hard to get into at first. But after about chapter 5, it really picked up.
Overall I liked the story but I found the main character just a little too goody-goody. Solid 3 stars. Not the worst book I’ve listened to but not the best.
