007 - Tricky Twenty Two by Janet Evanovich

"Ranger slung an arm around me and hugged me into him, and I could feel him laughing. “It’s not funny,” I said. “Babe, I haven’t got a lot of funny in my life. Let me enjoy the moment."

There are certain things you can always count on  in a Stephanie Plum book.  A car (or more)  is going to some how ended up  wrecked. Lula's hair  is going to change colors at  least  once. There will be at  least two  viewings at  the funeral home.  And at one of those viewings Grandma is going to get  into some  sort  of drama.  You can also always count  on  Stephanie being forever  stuck  between  who should she  be with?  Morelli  or Ranger (Team Ranger here!)  but     I have come to expect that she's never fully going to make that choice. It's just not  in the cards when  it comes to Steph. 

Overall I always  enjoy the books. And this one was no exception. Even though the formula  is almost always teh same and you have the  things you know are going to happen; you can't  help but  laugh. You can't help but wonder what mess Steph and Lula will get themselves into and how they  will get  out of it.    I enjoyed the amount  of Ranger in this book. I liked that  Connie and  even momma Plum got in  on some of the action  with Steph and her FTAs.

The thing with Plum books; they are  easy funny  lose yourself  for a while reads. Just what you  need sometimes. So even though Steph  is probably never going to greatly improve as a bounty hunter. She's forever going to be  stuck  in  some sort  of limbo with the men in her life  and  poor Rex  is just always going to be running on his  hamster wheel and it's going to feel like no one  is ever  moving forward. The gang  is going to be there to  let you come be entertained  by their crazy lives  once a  year. And I will take it. I will keep reading. I can't wait for number 23  in November.

I rated this 5 out 5 stars on goodreads.
