My first Stephanie Plum book but I felt as if I have known these characters forever. Though I did watch the movie "One for the Money" at the time it came out and actually liked it.

Janet Evanovich does it again. Crazy family, wonderfully funny secondary characters and a story-line full of action and sexy banter with both men in Stephanie's life. I thought I'd get tired of the trio but for now, I'll stick with them.
In this one we get to know Dickie Orr, Stephanie's ex-husband a bit more, and he is as nasty as she presented him. We get to know Joyce Barnard too, and probably think they deserve each other.
Lots of fun, without much thinking.

I think this series is a lot of fun. This was my first time listening to one of them as an audiobook version and to be honest I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I think from now on I will read them like I usually do. Lean Mean Thirteen was just as fun as I had come to expect with the Stephanie Plum series. I do think there may have been a little more swearing from certain characters then I remember from the previous books, especially compared to the first few in the series. Stephanie seems to be a lot more cool and collected under pressure then she used to be. I guess she is getting used to all the craziness happening! I look forward to picking up #14 sometime.
