Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

Excellent book. It was nice to learn about Joe's family. It was nice that Ranger took a back seat in this book. Sometimes the conflict over the 2 men gets long. She needs to pick Joe and move on.

I waited to get this installment of the Stephanie Plum series because I thought the last one was abysmal, so I was afraid this one wouldn't be any better, and I must admit that I liked it better than I thought I would. I still have my main criticism of her last couple of books, and that is that the characters Stephanie, Ranger, and Morelli don't evolve. Specifically the love triangle - she needs to make a choice. I don't know why they allow her to lead them around by the nose. That goes against everything we have ever known about Ranger and Morelli. At this point, I don't think she deserves to be with either of them. Hopefully this series will wrap with the next book.

Brenda's side story was an interesting twist, and that brought some humor. Her character was over the top, but what do you expect from an aging diva? We also got to see a lighter side of Ranger with him in something other than his commando gear. Although he didn't play a huge role in this book, it was nice to get a glimpse of something a little different.

Some old favorites provided many light moments. Mooner is always good for comic relief, and always has something priceless to say. One thing we really appreciate is that he stays the same. It is expected. Grandma Mazur was pretty much absent from this story, and I like her. It was a shame she wasn't used much in this book. She has had me crying in the past from laughing so hard.

I couldn't even make it halfway through this book. I'm so sick of Stephanie Plum making the same mistakes over and over again. I feel like I've read this book six times already. If you're going to read Janet Evanovich I would not recommend reading her Plum Series.

This #14 by Evanovich is not to be missed. It's a blast! Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 times of reading to get to the next sentence, I'll be laughing so hard.

Although not as funny as some of Janet's earlier books, I laughed my butt off!! I am hoping to see more of Ranger in future books, I mean seriously, Morelli has GOT to go! At least for a while, Ranger is to hot to ignore forever! Definately a must read for anyone who hasn't tried this author yet!
