Product Description In the fourteenth book in the series, the stakes are raised even higher as Stephanie Plum finds herself in her most dangerous, hilarious, hottest, chase yet. With her loveably offbeat family along for the ride (as well as a few new faces), it's clear to see why the Plum novels are called "Hot Stuff" by the New York Times and why Evanovich herself is called "the master."

Not my favorite of the series. Something is lacking... July 6, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think that what has happened is that the series has become diluted with the "between the numbers" stories, such as Plum Lucky (A Between-the-Numbers Novel) with characters that aren't part of the original group. This actually started to feel like one of the "between the numbers" stories that Janet comes out with in between the "number" stories. It also felt like Janet rushed through this one, like she was on a deadline, and didn't have time to really work her usual magic. I will be really sad if this trend keeps up, because I don't want to leave this series behind.

I didn't think it was as bad as your more critical commentators said. I liked the new Morelli, able to have all those people in his house, and the Stephanie that was comfortable taking care of all of them and staying with Morelli most of the time. I thought it was a friendly book. There were some really big laughs, also.I liked the kid and the stalker and the computer game.I did miss the sister and her husband. As far as getting your money back for the book, I'm sure you all can just take it back to the store. It's not like the book cost a fortune. You make it sound like you had to save for years to purchase it. I am hoping Janet will end the series soon, since after awhile it must take a lot to bring something new and different. I'd hate to see the series go the way of the Cat Who books. All in all I'd give it 3 and a half.

One of her best July 5, 2008 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I loved Fearless Fourteen, loved it. It had it's faults alright but nothing is ever perfect so I'm willing to overlook them. At first glance The Brenda plot point seemed unnecessary and redundant but it was needed to give Ranger a place in the book which I appreciate because despite my continued aversion to his sexual relationship with Steph, I like the character. His role may have been minimal but he's a supporting character and he's had his fair share of being front and center in other books so I wasn't bothered by his absence much. The only problem I had with him was him saying he didn't know why he still liked Steph since he wasn't getting what he wanted? What did he mean by that, sleeping or being more open to his sexual innuendos is what it'll take for him to continue liking her? If that's the case, may he go straight to hades! I don't need that kind of attitude
Call me pathetic but I cheered when Stephanie called Morelli to tell him "I've got it" . I wanted desperately for her get better at this Bounty hunter thing if she's going to stick with it and this was like a turning point for me where that's concerned. Now can she work on the gun issue pretty please? ;) Lula and her engagement to Tank is extreme even for Lula but it was funny and Tank is just so adorable, fainting and all that. Poor guy, I'd faint too if I find myself engaged to Lula
I fell more in love with Morelli in this book. I have a new found appreciation for the man. It takes a real man to grow up and straighten his act as Morelli has managed to do. The author has made it a point to point out that the Morelli men are dead beat men who drink, cheat and chase after women until their untimely deaths and so far Morelli is the only man that has been able to break away from tradition. More power to him. He's very aware of the kind of teen, man he was and while he makes no apologies for being the way he was, he knows it was not the way to live and has changed for the better. More power to him.
I liked it.. July 5, 2008 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love Morelli, Grandma, Ranger, who doesn't? The characters are quirky. Maybe it's just been so long since I read a book that I truly enjoyed but I did this one. At times I'd laugh out loud to myself, unfortunately I was at the airport at the time and got some very strange looks. This book was light, but lots of fun.
