Amazon Editorial Review:
Hard Up
Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum has a big problem on her hands: Seven-year-old Annie Soder and her mother, Evelyn, have disappeared. Evelyn's estranged husband, Steven, a shady owner of a seedy bar, is not at all happy. Finding a kidnapped child is not an assignment for a bounty hunter. But Evelyn's grandmother lives next door to Stephanie's parents, so Stephanie follows the trail left by Annie and Evelyn-and finds a lot more than she bargained for.
Hard Risk
Steven Soder is somehow linked with a very scary Eddie Abruzzi. Trenton cop and on-again, off-again fiancé Joe Morelli and Stephanie's mentor and tormentor, Ranger, warn Stephanie about Abruzzi, but it's Abruzzi's eyes and mannerisms that frighten Stephanie most. Stephanie needs Ranger's savvy and expertise, and she's willing to accept his help to find Annie even though it might mean getting too involved with Ranger. Stephanie, Ranger, Lula (who's not going to miss riding with Ranger), and Evelyn's lawyer/Laundromat manager set out to find Annie. The search turns out to be a race among Stephanie's posse, the True Blue Bonds' agent-a Rangerette known as Jeanne Ellen Burrows-and the Abruzzi crew. Plus, there's a killer rabbit on the loose!
Hard Eight
Strap on your helmet and get ready for the ride of your life! Hard Eight. The world of Stephanie Plum has never been wilder.

Oops... forgot to catch this one. Will be done by the end of the day...
Update: It took a little while for me to get into this one but I ended up liking it. There were some laugh out loud moments... I'll never look @ a dryer the same. Wasn't sure how I liked the whole Ranger-Stephanie-Joe triangle in the past few books but I think it may be solved now.
Can't wait to read the Christmas book! :-) Maybe there will be a holiday wedding.
Giving this back to ChiBoiler the next time I see her so that she can read it.

I missed Mooner! Enjoyed this book as usual. Love Ranger, Love Joe, so hard to decide between the two. Stephanie's sister has added some additional comic relief that has added to my love of her dysfunctional family. How come no one in my family ever thinks they are a horse?
On a side note, I did try to get my brother to taser my Dad over Thanksgiving so we could recreate the scene of Grandma Mazur tasering Steph's dad (I think in the 7th book - which was one of my Mom's favorite scenes), but he refused. I think my Dad was happy about that.
Will pass this on to another reader shortly.
