One For The Money

One For The Money is a book written by Janet Evanovich and it is the first in the Stephanie Plum Series.

In One For The Money, we are introduced to Stephanie Plum, who is an out of work lingerie buyer. She lives in The Burg which is a part of Trenton New Jersey where every family is Italian. Stephanie is half Italian, half hungarian.

Stephanie lives alone in a small apartment full of the newlywed and nearly dead. She does have a sort of roommate, his name is Rex and he is a hamster.

You also meet a bunch of other people who end up being in all the other books, too. Like Connie, Ranger, Lula and Grandma Mazur

In this book Stephanie swallows her pride and takes a job from her cousin Vincent Plum, as a bounty hunter. She is asked to find Joe Morelli, the man she lost her virginity to and then ran over with a Buick. Joe was arrested for murder and bonded out by Vinnie for $100,000. Joe is out there trying to prove that he was innocent. Yes, he shot that man, but it was in self defense.

After her first failed attempt she asks Connie, the 100% italian receptionist, who she should ask for help. Connie recommends Ranger, a cuban bounty hunter who only does high-risk bonds, the ones for the big money. Ranger helps her and kinda tells her the ropes to being a bounty hunter.

Joe agrees to team up with Stephanie, if she helps him out, he will make sure she gets her 10% of the bond. However she doesn't really believe that he will let her capture him. So when she gets her chance she tricks him and takes him in anyway.

The eventually prove that Joe is innocent of murder and there is a happy ending.

Don't Clog The Blog- Ebook Review

I am very new to writing a blog...and I am learning....VERY...slowly. When I was asked to review this Ebook I jumped at the chance...I can use all the help I can get!

It is very easy to read and understand, it is straight forward on what to do and what not to do..which is helpful for me. There are only 16 pages which makes it simple to read in one sitting. I could have loaded it on to my Kindle, but instead I loaded it on to my Kindle app on my computer. Had I been able to access the Internet on my phone I would have read it on there.

I have never read one of Sadie's Ebooks before, but now I am wishing I had, she makes things very simple to understand and that is something that is very important. Normally I am a visual learner, meaning I have to see it done to understand it and pick it up. But I don't really think blogging is something you can learn from watching.

If I didn't already get the book, I would definitely purchase this book. If you are a blogger..new to it or are an expert blogger, I recommend this book to you. In my opinion and experience you can never know too much about your job or hobby.

Disclaimer- I was given this book in exchange for a review. All opinions expressed are mine and mine alone and they are 100% true.

Kinsey Milhone is hired by the father of a young man who was convicted of murder. His father is convinced of his innocence, but he has escaped from prison, which doesn't look good for him.


Everyone believes that Bailey Fowler strangled his girlfriend Jean, but at the same time they don't want to answer Kinsey's questions...why? As is her habit, she keeps digging and digging, because she just has to know the truth.







Instead of answering her questions she ends up uncovering more questions and plenty of secrets in this small town.


While staying in the hotel that Bailey's parents own and his sister runs someone breaks into Kinsey's room to see what she knows and to see how close she has come to the truth of who really killed Jean Timberlake...and it wasn't Bailey...


After plenty of digging and button pushing Kinsey finds out who the true killer is...will it be who you think it is?
