If i could give this book more than five stars, i definitely would. This is my best thriller book ever.The story is about a Stephanie Plum a bounty hunter, she works with Ranger a hot Caucasian guy sometimes, they had a fling once and they are still attracted to each other, but she's currently dating her on and off boyfriend Morelli since high school.She was working one day when one woman approached her and told her she was ranger's wife, and that they married six months ago, that he left her last week, so she's guessing he'll be with her since she taught they were having an affair, Stephanie told her it happened once a long time ago but the woman din't believe her. She called Ranger but he did not pick, she later saw on the news that he kidnapped his daughter from his ex wife, she got confused and din't know what to believe, She called his friend but he din't give her a tangible reply till one day she saw the dead body of the wife in her car packed outside her office, she called the cops and they cleaned it up.She just knew it was not Ranger that killed her even though he wasn't picking his calls, she then went to his house for info, she found out on his PC that a guy was impersonating him and he knew, When she got home he was there waiting for her, He told her that the guy stole his identity and he kidnapped his daughter Julie and he obviously killed the so called wife,She believed him.They started looking for the guy together, They found out his real name and the guy have being stalking Ranger trying to be like him, He decided to use her as bait to get to the guy since she's a huge part of his life.The fake Ranger fell for it and kidnapped her, told her they'll live happily ever after together with the little girl, she tried to get away when they went out it worked but when they went back the girl was gone. She went back to her apartment and he was there with the girl waiting for her, he knocked her out and tied her up,When she woke up he told her that he have to kill the real Ranger before they all live together, Ranger came in and the imposter shot him multiple times, luckily for him he was wearing a vest. He wanted to shot Stephanie but Julie jumped on him, It was easier cause he was wounded,the gun flew off his hands and she got it and shot him but he din't die. Police got in and took Ranger to the hospital he did not die. Julie was taken back to her mother and Stephanie went back to her job as bounty hunter, Ranger is recovering now.

At first I was pretty disappointed in Twelve Sharp because it wasn't hilarious. All of the other Stephanie Plum novels were super funny. I gave book #12 5 stars because of the following: 1. Stephanie used some of her Bounty Hunter woman power. She didn't seem so helpless and kicked a little butt. 2. We actually learn some interesting facts about Ranger. YAAYY! 3. Stephanie tells a certain someone she LOVES him, not just l-l-likes him ; )4. An important character gets severly hurt, which usually never happens. Tons of people have died in previous books, but usually the main characters get away pretty well off. Which in't to say I was happy about that person hurt, it just made the story a whole lot better.

This did not disappoint. The tension between Stephanie, Joe, and Ranger is better than ever.

These books still make me laugh out loud, and I am enjoying them, but I am really getting annoyed with both Stephanie and Ranger. It bothers me a lot how much of a pushover Stephanie is. She says no to something, and everyone just goes and does it anyway and she just lets them. I don't think she would be half so incompetent at everything she tries if she would just stand up for herself and mean it. I mean, seriously! **** Possible Spoilers...*****And, I know Stephanie is to blame here too, but I am really getting annoyed with Ranger, and the fact that he never seems to care that Stephanie is dating Joe. Ranger made is clear he only wants to sleep with her, but she has a good thing with Joe, and sleeping with Ranger would definitely mess that up. Again, Stephanie needs more backbone, but seriously... It's one thing to make a move on her when she is in the off-again phase of her relationship, but she keeps telling him no, and he keeps at her anyway. If they end up sleeping together when she is dating Joe, I'm going to be seriously pissed off. Grr...

Hilarious, A Little Dark & Refreshing!!! Still Loving It!!!
