She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. Her mother's convinced she'll end up dead . . . or worse, without a man. She's Stephanie Plum, and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thinks it sounds good to put it that way. . . .).

It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum, except that she becomes the target of a gang—and of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. With super bounty hunter Ranger acting more mysteriously than ever (and the tension with vice cop Joe Morelli getting hotter), she finds herself with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it—if she can find it. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. Ten Big Ones is thrilling entertainment, and Janet Evanovich is the best there is.

Entertainment for your ears

In this novel you will find out more about the mysterious Ranger! I have read or heard all of the books in this series. I will never read another one but will always listen to any additions to the series. Why? The reader is par excellence! Her voices are so good and really in character. I particularly enjoy Lucy. I have laughed out loud many times listening to the dialogue. This series in not plot driven as the plots are all quite similar, but the characters are fascinating.

Can't stop laughing!!!

Another can't stop listening adventure. Had to decide if I'm for Joe or Ranger. They're both great guys.

Stephanie Plum stresses me out!

I love everything about this series, so much so that I am currently rereading it while waiting for #30 to drop. The narrator is perfect, and I think she makes the books even better. I adore Stephanie, and she does have a stubborn streak a mile wide, but in this book that stubborn streak nearly ends her - and me! So many times I wanted to yell at her to stop or just don’t do it! But she did anyway, and I grew a few more grey hairs. This one is full of drama and laugh out loud funny, I highly recommend.

How much fun was this?

This is the first time I've listened to a Stephanie Plum mystery, and it certainly won't be the last. I really enjoyed the lighthearted fun of this novel. The voices were excellently done (I think the narrator is inspired), and the dialog kept making me laugh out loud. While this may not be the deepest novel ever, it is highly entertaining, and fun. Who in the world doesn't need more of that? After I finished it I kept smiling every time I thought of Ranger saying in that deep voice, "Babe."

If you love to laugh......this is a must

Would you consider the audio edition of Ten Big Ones to be better than the print version?

I have done both, but I would definitely say that especially with Loralei King@ the helm, listening is better. She totally brings the characters to life and allows you to really see them in a way I think they were written to be like.

What did you like best about this story?

This one was a little different than some in that Stephanie is in SO much trouble that the two men in her life actually work together to save her. I liked hearing her come to a place where she is willing to be "handled" for a change. I also like her confronting her feelings for Ranger and kind of enjoying what she has from both men.

Which character ??? as performed by Lorelei King ??? was your favorite?

Lula. She really paints you an awsome picture of Lula

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely. I'm that way about most of her books

Any additional comments?

Janet just keeps getting better and better!

Good book!

Not the best but good. 15 more letters. What a pain burn required.
Last review I ever do.

I absolutely love Janet Evanovich,

I've read all of her books I don't know how I miss this one absolutely hysterical grandma is hysterical one of the funniest parts was when she hit him with the needle and passed out there isn't anything in this novel that I don't love it's just hysterical

TOTALLY HILARIOUS!

TEN BIG ONES BY JANET EVANOVICH and narrated by LORELEI KING is one of my favorites in the Stephanie Plum series
Stephanie is once again hunting down the FTA's, failure to appear, while dodging not only a hitman named Junkman but the gang that put the Junkman on Stephanie's tail.

TEN BIG ONES has to be one of my favorite in the Stephanie Plum series. When the blues get me down I turn to Stephanie Plum for a laugh and TEN BIG ONES is my laugh of choice! Lorelei King,as always does an excellent job bringing Stephanie,Grandma , and yes even Sally Sweet to life !

My favorite Stephanie Plum novel so far!

Finally, Stephanie is more proficient at being a Bounty Hunter. I admit I was tiring of her constant ineptitude, but she redeemed herself in this book. Also, I just really enjoyed the story. It was intense without losing the humor the author instills in her stories.

Love the ending ... that's all I'm saying

The ending was awesome! ... That's all I'm saying... No spoilers here... Nope... Not from this girl...
