Description
Trenton, New Jersey, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has inherited a "lucky" bottle from her Uncle Pip. Problem is, Uncle Pip didn't specify if the bottle brought good luck or bad luck. . . .
BAD LUCK:
Vinnie, of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, has run up a gambling debt of $786,000 with mobster Bobby Sunflower and is being held until the cash can be produced. Nobody else will pay to get Vinnie back, leaving it up to Stephanie, office manager Connie, and file clerk Lula to raise the money if they want to save their jobs.
GOOD LUCK:
Being in the business of tracking down people, Stephanie, Lula, and Connie have an advantage in finding Vinnie. If they can rescue him, it will buy them some time to raise the cash.
BAD LUCK:
Finding a safe place to hide Vinnie turns out to be harder than raising $786,000. Vinnie's messing up Mooner's vibe, running up pay-per-view porn charges in Ranger's apartment, and making Stephanie question genetics.
GOOD LUCK:
Between a bonds office yard sale that has the entire Burg turning out, Mooner's Hobbit-Con charity event, and Uncle Pip's lucky bottle, they just might raise enough money to save the business, and Vinnie, from ruin.
BAD LUCK:
Saving Vincent Plum Bail Bonds means Stephanie can keep being a bounty hunter. In Trenton, this involves hunting down a man wanted for polygamy, a turnpike toilet paper bandit, and a drug dealer with a pet alligator named Mr. Jingles.
GOOD LUCK:
The job of bounty hunter comes with perks in the guise of Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, and the dark and dangerous security expert, Ranger. With any luck at all, Uncle Pip's lucky bottle will have Stephanie getting lucky---the only question is . . . with whom?
Janet Evanovich's Sizzling Sixteen . . . so hot, the pages might spontaneously combust!

4By CheflovaEnjoyable, far fetched and entertaining. Stephanie Plum books are perfect. Humorous, interesting, mildly suggestive and easy to read.The Best and Funniest Book in her series
2By cjlindboeAs with all of her books they are fun to read but this one is my favorite so far. It had me laughing out loud.Predictable but entertaining
4By DWHuggShe must have written this one after getting sucked into the Hobbitness movie series. She should've use the hobbit name website instead of creating her own.Eh
3By 5842tipI love the Stephanie Plum series but this one seemed a bit off in terms of the humor and the character development. It didn't feel as "Evanovich" as all the others. It was still enjoyable but I missed some of the snappy humor and crazy character relations of the prior books.She's still got it!
4By C-BoogsI stopped keeping up with this series for a couple of years. I was pleasantly surprised while reading this that Ms. Evanovich is still going strong and better than ever with Stephanie Plum and her crew!Mrs.
5By xqtmommiexStephanie Plum never let's me down. :)Sadly disappointing
1By Jussaying99The story line was weak and disjointed. I understand the characters are expected to "talk" and converse a certain way but it was over the top. This is the third book I have read by this author and most likely my last.Sizzling Sixteen
5By WandahammI loved this book too! I was hoping it would end with Mooner leaving a message on Stephanie's machine and Morelli listening. "Dude, I forgot to tell you last week not to use the condemns in your night stand... The Hobbits wanted you and Vinnie to make little hobbits so they poked holes in all of them" only the message came too late cuz all of them were used between a night with Ranger before he left the country.... Then a make up with Morelli.Great Read! Stephanie is at it again!

5By budman9999I love all of Janet's books. They are fun and easy to read.Sizzling Sixteen
5By drthomas9833As entertaining as ever. Just what I always receive from this adventuresome author and her flamboyant characters. The personalities are well developed and believable. There is some exaggeration but it's entertaining and fun filled storytelling at it's best. Thank you again for your sense of humor and excitement.Hilarious!
5By Alice ZooEvanovich gets better with each book. Who is Stephanie going to end up in bed with this time? Which of her not-quite-normal friends (?) will show up to wreak havoc? What will Grandma get involved in? As usual, the answers and the way we arrive at them create a funny mystery that only the great Janet can write. Always an adventure and the best way to brighten even the worst day.Sizzling sixteen is hit!
5By AzinadFantastic as usual! Keep them coming!,,Plum Crazy!!!!
