I think it'd be best if she marries him, have a kid - at least it'd show some maturity and a change of priorities. And Ranger? he lost whatever charisma JE brought him as soon as he 'hired' Steph..... Give this one a miss people!

My family has always loved the Stephanie Plum series, but Fifteen was lacking in almost everything that made the other books funny. To me, Finger Lickin' Fifteen seemed more like one of the Between the Numbers novels but without Diesel. I would also have to say that the development of Ranger was inadequate. With all of Ranger's security skills, it seemed very unlikely that he would not have been able to solve the break-ins on his own. He would also never have asked Stephanie for help. I feel that Ranger's Mystery Man persona was greatly diminished by his incompetency and admittance of defeat. I would have to agree.

Please don't get me wrong, janet is a great author and i will still continue to buy them but this one didn't seem to be in the same league as her other books and with it costing £18.99-(UK) i found it very expensive.

I know Stephanie's life is a mess, but the lack of maturity in her relationship with Morelli is getting tiresome. And all the dodging Ranger's sexual invitations is even more tiresome. Let them get it on for God's sake! I think Ranger would make a much better partner for Stephanie. Finger Lickin' Fifteen had it's funny moments, but I wonder if Mrs. Evanovich is ever going to show some growth with Stephanie. Something needs to happen to keep the series fresh, it's getting a little stale. There's only so many fires, explosions one can take. And there were far too many in this book. After the second fire, it wasn't even funny. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt let down by number 15.
