Okay, so I’m slightly addicted to The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.  Carol from our external accountants let me borrow “One for the Money” and I was addicted.  This was maybe last month! I’m now up to book six “Hot Six” and I’m even dreaming about the books.  I can honestly say that I haven’t been this bad ever before.  I’ve been carrying the novels around in my handbag and at any opportunity I’m reading;  in the car; during ad breaks on TV; before bed.  Speaking of reading before going to bed - I’m even reading til late into the night.  Normally I’m the person bugging Glen to turn off the light because he’s reading!!

So the gist of the story is: Stephanie Plum went to College (yes an American book) and she got a job as a lingerie buyer.  When she loses her job, she cons a job out of her cousin, Vinnie, as a bounty hunter.  Then a couple of gorgeous men get involved.  The first (and the guy who I currently love) is Joe Morelli.  Stephanie lost her virginity to Joe and Joe is now a Vice Cop.  The other guy is Ranger.  Ranger’s the mysterious type so I’m a bit hesitant - but in my imagination he’s pretty hot…  Oh - I didn’t mention that Joe is also extremely good looking.

If the books get made into a movie (apparently TriStar signed a deal in 1994 - so hurry the f*ck up people), us girls have been discussing who we think should be cast.  We can’t come up with a guy that has dark brown curly hair with brown eyes and is drop dead gorgeous to play Joe.   I’m really struggling!  There’s websites around that have suggested, Chris Evans, Mark Wahlberg, Mark Raffalo, James Denton and Hugh Jackman.  Well, if they’re going to do the first book, Joe should be 29ish.  These guys are a bit older than that except Chris - and he’s the perfect age… I just imagine Joe would be a bit buffer… hrm hot muscley guy - WOOT!!
