OK. I may have my breath back now from laughing so hard. I just finished Janet Evanovich’s “Fearless Fourteen” starring Stephanie Plum, Ranger, and Joe and I literally laughed, snorted, and guffawed my way through this book. I’ve read and heard some of the bad-mouthing this book has gotten and although I understand some people are anxious for Stephanie to make a choice between Ranger and Joe, I, for one, am just happy to keep reading about Stephanie’s wild and zany life.
This time Stephanie has quite a few things to deal with. Lula has forcibly engaged herself to Tank, who just may end up dead, relocated, or married. Stephanie has managed to put herself on the hook to care for a teenager who may be Joe’s child from his wild youth. The mother who could set things straight has been kidnapped and is being held for the nine million dollar ransom proceeds from an old bank robbery, and her kidnapper has resorted to sending toes to stress his seriousness! The teenager, who refuses to answer to anything but Zook, is hooked on a popular internet game and thinks he’s being stalked by another player. Grandma Mazur has taken to Zook’s internet game and is gathering her own ‘posse’ of overage delinquents. An aging star has the hots for both Ranger and Joe, and keeps butting in on Stephanie’s cases. And…well, there’s lots more, but it’s all laugh out loud funny and a darn entertaining read!
