1) Hardcover Book Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14) by St. Martin´s Press. I have read every book in this series and had to force myself to finish this one and #13. Janet´s books started out being both suspensful and laugh-out-loud funny, but these two had boring and silly story lines with very rushed and abrupt endings. Half-way through this book I really didn´t care what the outcome was. I hope that future reviews fare better for additional books in this series, but for now I think I must take a break from reading them. Thank goodness I checked #14 out from the library and didn´t actually pay for it!¤

2) Hardcover Book Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14) by St. Martin´s Press. I liked this book and am glad I read it, it´s just not as good as the rest of the Stephanie Plum books. I´m looking forward to 15!¤

3) Hardcover Book Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14) by St. Martin´s Press. It is amazing that Janet manages to produce a book every year with fresh
appeal.The beginning is like going home to old friends and I noticed I was smiling at the end.
What more can you ask from a book?¤

4) Hardcover Book Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14) by St. Martin´s Press. I am a BIG fan of the author. My entire family reads and RE READS the Stephanie Plum series. We talk about a movie and who would play who. My 85 year old Mom screams with laughter reading about Gramma Mazur until Fearless Fourteen. My teen said it was boring. It took two weeks to finish it whereas she usually reads them in a few days. Me, I never finished it. I put it down and that was it. It was totally boring.

This to me is what happens when an author pounds out a book each year..she / he loses their creativity and enthusiasm.

I think it´s time for a new series for me..any recs please?¤

5) Hardcover Book Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14) by St. Martin´s Press. 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.¤

6) Hardcover Book Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14) by St. Martin´s Press.

Personal vendettas, hidden treasure, and a monkey named Carl will send bounty hunter Stephanie Plum on her most explosive adventure yet.

The Crime:  Armed robbery to the tune of nine million dollars

Dom Rizzi robbed a bank, stashed the money, and did the time. His family couldn’t be more proud. He always was the smart one. 

The Cousin:  Joe Morelli

Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Dom’s sister, Loretta, are cousins. Morelli is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother waiting tables at the firehouse. The all-American family.

The Complications:  Murder, kidnapping, destruction of personal property, and acid reflux

Less than a week after Dom’s release from prison, Joe Morelli has shadowy figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement. He’s getting threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing.

The Catastrophe:  Moonman

Morelli hires Walter “Mooner” Dunphy, stoner and “inventor” turned crime fighter, to protect his house. Morelli can’t afford a lot on a cop’s salary, and Mooner will work for potatoes.

The Cupcake:  Stephanie Plum

Stephanie and Morelli have a long-standing relationship that involves sex, affection, and driving each other nuts. She’s a bond enforcement agent with more luck than talent, and she’s involved in this bank-robbery-gone-bad disaster from day one.

The Crisis:  A favor for Ranger

Security expert Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, has a job for Stephanie that will involve night work. Morelli has his own ideas regarding Stephanie’s evening activities.

The Conclusion:  Only the fearless should read Fourteen.

Thrills, chills, and incontinence may result.
