#17 The Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich

 

Gabriela is a recovery agent for insurance companies, she had a minor role in the Stephanie Plum books and now is stepping into her own series.  She is divorced from her childhood sweetheart and lives in New York far from her hometown in SC.  When her hometown is struggling on the edge of collapse from a hurricane her grandmother tells her she needs to get a treasure out of a family home in the Caribbean. The only problem is she gave the place to her ex-husband as part of the divorce settlement.  Rafer comes home to find her pulling up floorboards but soon joins in the quest when she explains why she needs the cash since it is also his hometown.   The two of them quickly follow a trail to South America to find the Ring of Solomon.  The crazy adventures they have are even more over the top than what happens to Stephanie and surprisingly enough only the bad guys seem to suffer permanent damage. This is an entertaining read and completely nothing but brain candy for a few hours.  Need a beach read or an airplane book then this will fit the bill.
