I want more Stephanie Plum!

I finished reading the Janet Evanovich series - 14 saucy fiction novels that are pure entertainment reading. Apparently there's a new one coming out this summer... Hooray! The series starts with "One for the Money" continues with "Two for the Dough" and goes all the way up to "Fearless Fourteen". Stephanie Plum, the main character of all the novels is described in Wikipedia as

"a spunky combination of Nancy Drew and Dirty Harry, and although a female bounty hunter - is the opposite of Domino Harvey"

Her romantic relationships are with Joe Morelli and Ranger. Lately, I have been trying to find real life actors to fit the image formed in my head of these two characters. So far I have decided that:

Joe Morrelli is Jeffrey Donnovan, inspired from character on the USA TV series Burn Notice.

And Ranger is Gilles Marini known most recently for his appearance on Dancing with the Stars. His accent helps complete the Puerto-Rican persona (even though he's apparently French).


With these two men in mind, I can see where Stephanie's dilemma comes from. These guys are hot, hot, hot! :)
