Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with a gun phobia, finds her life turned upside down when she finds herself babysitting a strange boy named Zuke, and playing bodyguard for aging singer Brenda. Brenda has a stalker who seems obsessed with her. Lula decides marriage is in the future for her and her hunky beau Tank. After a source reveals money may be buried in Morelli's basement all heck breaks loose. Can Steph save the day?

I listened to the audio edition of Fearless Fourteen, and found it difficult to get into. The story picks up after the introduction of the Brenda character, but some of the humor falls flat, particularly the teen kid Zuke who was difficult to like at first. I was surprised that I didn't enjoy Steph's interaction as much with Morelli and Ranger, but I think the love triangle has lost a lot of steam for me. She's dating Morelli, but is sort of semi-flirty with Ranger? Meh, I'm getting bored with that. I did enjoy seeing grandmother, Mooner, and Lula.

This was mindless, silly humor, but no great work of fiction. 3 stars.

I enjoy reading Janet Evanovich. It was especially nice to get the book at a reduced price. The book was in good condition.
Thanks,

Not my favorite of this series. It just felt too familiar. I still really enjoy the Stephanie Plum Novels, but I'm ready for Janet to shake things up a little.

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

My daughter and I have been hooked on the Stephanie Plum novels. I have not read Fearless Fourteen yet and will try to get into it soon. I have read all of the previous books and once I get into them there is no putting them down. Janet Evanovich has a way with the characters in this series that are laugh out loud funny. They will also keep you on the edge of your seat.

Fearless Fourteen is every bit as funny as the last book. It's brilliant over the top fun and the love triangle with Morelli and Ranger is now nearing breaking point. When will Stephanie make up her mind for good?
There's lots more fun in here for fans of the rest of the series and I'm now looking forward to reading the next one.
Good fun.
