I just had an amazing experience and I absolutely loved it!

From the moment I started, I was completely immersed in it. The details were so captivating and every aspect was well thought out. It had a unique charm that drew me in and made me not want to stop.

The way it was presented was also very impressive. The colors, the sounds, and the overall atmosphere combined to create a truly unforgettable experience. I could feel my emotions being stirred and I was completely engaged throughout.

Overall, I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's something that everyone should experience at least once. I'm already looking forward to doing it again in the future. Loved it!

I truly love these books. They have this amazing ability to make me burst out laughing seriously. It's like a magical charm that they possess. And let me tell you, I am constantly in a state of dilemma when it comes to Ranger and Morelli. Oh my goodness, they are both so delicious in their own ways. Ranger with his mysterious and dangerous allure, and Morelli with his charming and familiar presence. It's like a battle in my heart, trying to decide which one I prefer. But you know what? It doesn't really matter because both of them add so much excitement and flavor to the story. I just can't get enough of these books and the wonderful world they create.

Eleven on Top is the eleventh captivating novel in the Stephanie Plum series penned by Janet Evanovich. In this installment, Stephanie finds herself in a rather precarious situation. After yet another one of her cars gets blown up, she decides to quit her job as a bounty hunter. She yearns for a safer occupation where she won't have to face the constant threats of being shot at, having her apartment broken into, or her cars exploding. This leads her on a comical job-hopping spree. She starts working at a button factory but gets fired on her first day for being three hours late. Then she moves on to a dry cleaners, which lasts until the second day when she is shot at by a psychotic old lady and promptly fired. Next, she tries her hand at a fast food restaurant, only to manage to burn it to the ground on her very first night working there. Finally, she ends up working as an office administrator for Ranger's security company.


However, it seems that quitting as a bounty hunter wasn't as easy as she thought. Someone has a serious grudge against Stephanie and wants her dead. Despite the numerous challenges and threats, Stephanie's adventures continue to amuse and entertain. There are countless hilarious and witty scenes throughout the book that will have readers laughing out loud. But I must admit that I was a bit irritated by Stephanie in this particular installment. I really wish she would finally make a choice between Joe Morelli and Ranger. What's more, she actually cheats on Joe in this book, which I found quite out of character for her. After all, Stephanie had always been against cheaters, especially since her ex-husband had cheated on her with one of her best friends. And now, here she is, cheating herself?


Overall, I would rate this book 2.5 stars. It has its moments of hilarity and excitement, but Stephanie's actions and decisions left me a bit disappointed.

I have a great passion for reading Janet Evanovich's Plum novels. These novels are filled with unique and quirky mysteries that always manage to capture my attention. However, this particular one didn't quite make it to the top of my favorites list. Nevertheless, it was still a relatively quick read, which was nice. I truly enjoy the characters in these novels and their hilarious antics. What makes these books even more interesting is that they can be read as stand-alone stories, yet the same characters are mentioned throughout each book in the series. This aspect really adds to the overall charm of the novels and makes it feel like a continuous and interconnected world.

Although she's still hard on cars, in this book, Stephanie tears through jobs.

She seems to have a never-ending series of employment misadventures. One moment she's in one job, and the next, she's out, often in rather spectacular fashion.

Will she ever stop flirting and flitting between Morelli and Ranger? It's a question that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Both men have their own unique charm and appeal, and Stephanie is clearly drawn to both of them.

And, which one would I pick? That's a tough decision. Morelli is the familiar, hometown guy with a history with Stephanie. Ranger, on the other hand, is the mysterious, dangerous bad boy. It's a classic love triangle, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Oh, and I saw two Tastykakes trucks after starting this book! It was a strange coincidence that made me smile. Maybe it's a sign that good things are in store for Stephanie in this installment of the series.

The story remains funny and enjoyable, yet the repetition of the same jokes is beginning to feel a bit tiresome. Additionally, I'm not entirely satisfied with the way Stephanie is attempting to juggle the two men in her life. It seems rather obvious that she should just make a choice already.


I've decided that I'm going to take a short break and explore something else to read. I'll come back to this series at a later time when I'm in the mood for something light and entertaining again.


Sometimes, it's important to step away and give oneself a chance to recharge. This way, when I return to the series, I'll be able to appreciate it with a fresh perspective and perhaps find new aspects to enjoy.

This was a truly remarkable plum novel.

It stood out as being a little bit different from the previous books in the series.

The plot had its own unique twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

I really didn't expect the ending at all. It was completely unexpected and truly surprising.

However, that's what makes the Stephanie Plum series so great. You never know what's going to happen next.

I just can't get enough of Stephanie and her crazy adventures.

She's such a likable and relatable character, and I always look forward to reading about her latest misadventures.

Overall, this was a great addition to the series and I can't wait to see what's in store for Stephanie next.

Not much to say here.

If you're reading this book, you're a fan of the Stephani Plum series. And I am.

Which is odd. It's marketed as a chick-lit, a silly adventure series with a romance component. But that really undersells the series. The series is laugh-out-loud funny -- and not the fake, online LOL "laugh-out-loud," but of the "I'm busting a gut watching SEINFELD" kind of funny. It is the funniest series I've read since DISCWORLD.

Similar to DISCWORLD, Stephanie Plum author Janet Evanovich mashes together genres to good effect. But unlike Pratchett's comedic fantasy series, Evanovich mines whodunnits (albeit with a bumbling Watson-like Stephanie as the hero instead of the together Sherlock Homes-types around her, like Ranger and Morelli). Also unlike Pratchett, whose books were often biting satires, the Plum books embrace community. These are not bitter diatribes. Instead, this is a universe where people actually care for each other. Which is cool.

That said, in this installment, Stephanie starts to grow a little. She's tired of her life as a bounty hunter, sick of being shot and her cars being blown-up. Regardless, as usual, she's being hunted by a madman. And as usual, her knights in shining armor, Morelli and Ranger, ride in to save her. And as usual, there's Lula and the scatter-brained, pistol-packing Grandma Mazur to bring a smile to my face with their antics.

And best for me, a straight male reader, there's less of Stephanie's Harlequin-style hemming and hawing, wavering between the dangerous love Ranger promises and the more stable, grounded, extended-family-centric life Morelli promises here.

Four stars. Sure, it's fluff. But dang it, it's the end of the summer and I enjoy these books. So I'm not explaining nothing. (Grammar error intentional).

Now, this was truly an outstanding Plum offering!

It is extremely different from Ms. Evanovich's other Plum novels. Stephanie is embarking on something new, and for me, it is proving to be a great success!

I completed this book in a single sitting and I am eagerly anticipating the next one to see if Evanovich adheres to this formula or reverts to the same old routine.

I sincerely hope not, as I simply could not engage with the unfocused and unmotivated mess that Stephanie Plum had become. That is precisely why I haven't read one of these in such a long time.

However, if this book serves as a sign of things to come, I will consume them without hesitation.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book, but perhaps not the entire series.

It offers a fresh perspective and a new direction for the character, which I find both exciting and engaging.

I can't wait to see what Evanovich has in store for us next.

Overall, this is a must-read for fans of the Plum series who are looking for something different and refreshing.

This installment was truly one of the better entries in the series.

The tension between Stephanie, Ranger, and Joe was palpable and added a great deal of excitement to the story.

Stephanie's decision to give up bounty hunting was an interesting twist, but as always, her life remained in jeopardy.

Multiple cars were damaged or blown up, which made for some thrilling action scenes.

Overall, it was a highly entertaining read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

The characters were well-developed and the plot was engaging, making it a great addition to the series.

I can't wait to see what happens next in Stephanie's adventures.

Stephanie has reached her limit with bond enforcement. Not only is she dealing with the stress of that job, but also with the people who are trying to kill her. One person from her past is out for revenge, and she has no clue who it could be among the numerous possibilities.

Desperate for a change, she attempts every other option available in the area. However, as fate would have it, all of these endeavors go horribly wrong.

So, like any woman caught between two men and having a complicated relationship with one, she decides to go to work for the other.

Yesterday, I had several things I intended to write down, but work was so chaotic that I can't recall the specifics. I do remember that Stephanie went cold turkey on jelly donuts and sweets to show solidarity with her mother, who has given up "tippling" the whiskey stored in the pantry (or cabinet in one book). As a side effect, Stephanie experiences an increased sex drive due to the lack of sugar.

You can't make this stuff up! I mean, Janet did a great job, I guess lol. But you know what I mean. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before in the 12 books I've re-read and reviewed this time, but I truly love this series. I also adore the characters. And this time around, I definitely think I'm on team Joe.
