![]() What a nice guy, huh?I don't remember laughing once while reading this book. 'Cuz with Morelli injured and on pain pills (not much of a spoiler, since Morelli seems to get injured a lot these days), we're led to believe that Ranger's going to try to change Steph's mind and give in to him. Oh yeah, I guess the not-so-subtle hint in Ranger's note left with the bottle of champagne is supposed to keep us hanging once again. Suddenly, Steph is trying to be a one-woman gal to Morelli, despite lots of Ranger temptation. I was hoping that Evanovich would scale back and bring the laugh-out-loud funny, the swoon-worthy sighs, and the ditzy Plum that we've come to know and love.Evanovich scaled Stephanie Plum back, all right. I *loved* the early Plum days and most of the in-between books. I swore that if that happened, I was DONE with this series forever.So, in a huge way, this book was a deciding factor for me as to whether or not I continued with the series. And the story left us hanging - me with the idea that Steph was going to end up pregnant and unsure who was the father. In book 18, it took forever to get the story of what really happened in Hawaii - especially between Ranger and Morelli. In books 16 & 17, Stephanie walked the wild side, with uninhibited language and sex lots of rude, crude, crass, and over-the-top, even for Stephanie Plum. 2 - maybe 2.5 starsRecommendation: If you want to read this book DO NOT BUY IT. ![]()
