I want to like Stephanie again!

I was sure keeping my fingers crossed that Janet would amp it up and let us like Stephanie again. How 'bout a hot week with Ranger in Atlanta to help him solve a crime? Just something new and with a little more depth, she doesn't have to marry these guys to give the books a lift...and she could travel outside the area to help old friends or rescue Grandma from a Florida home..I am really sad I bought this e book. I feel both Janet and Stephanie need to see a therapist, maybe consider a face lift. I don't want them to go away, I just want to laugh and enjoy them again..

Good story, funny, a little lovin" and after reading twenty novels about Stephanie I feel like she is part of my family!  I only wish I wouldn't have to wait a year for another.  AND how about a TV series....

I thought this book was very Stephanie Plum-like!!  Am I frustrated at the love triangle?!?!  Perhaps, but I'm still enjoying the series!

After a total disappointment of a book "Visions of Sugarplums".  Stephanie is back to her original great form in "To the Nines".  I found this book as funny and offbeat as the first eight in the series.  It was a wonderful read;  I couldn't put it down once I started it.  It shows that even with bodyguards (who turned out to be in more danger fr/ Stephanie than her enemies) Stephanie can still get herself in deep, deep trouble and still survive.  A great read which I highly recommend.

Like others, I read the 11th book (but it's actually 12 with "Sugar Plums") in a day.  Stephanie Plum has me in stitches every time!  Her forays into drycleaning, serving up grease in a bucket, and evading the smarmy advances of her button factory boss were terrific, but I miss the misstepping bounty hunter.

Terrific tension between Stephanie and Ranger as her new boss were just an added bonus.  :-)

Can't get enough of Stephanie her quirky family and friends and all her unfathomable  adventures. Only thing I can find wrong with this one is that it was just too short!!!

I enjoyed it. Thanks Janet for a fun summer read.  I can't wait for the next one!
If you are a true Stephanie fan you will enjoy this book.  I don't understand the anger and resentment from some of these reviewers.  This was another episode in Stephanie's life.  I am sure there will be lots more to come!

I'm enjoying this new series by Janet Evanovich.  The storylines are a bit far-fetched, but the characters are likeable and there's plenty of action to keep me hooked.  I'm sure it will be a while until the next one is released, but I will eagerly be waiting.  Honestly, I wish she would stop writing the Plum series and just concentrate on this and the Fox & O'Hare series.

Janet Evanovich is an author I measure other authors by.  She never fails to deliver an interesting read, and usually, one that is full of the kind of humor you can literally laugh out loud at.  More than once, I have caught people around me staring at me as if I've lost my mind as I giggle, or give an outright belly laugh!  I liked this book so much because FINALLY we get to follow a story that actually revolves around "Ranger", one of my favorite Stephanie Plum characters.  I have been wishing for just such a story for quite a while now, and it has finally come to pass!  He's just SO sexy!  I look forward to Evanovich's books, and always end up buying them.  In addition, if I see a book that boasts a likeness to Janet Evanovich, I am very likely to check it out.  Most of the time, I am disappointed, but in some cases, as in that of "Elise Sax" , I have found a new favorite author to thoroughly enjoy!  We all need some laughter in our lives, and Janet Evanovich can supply a nice dose of it!  The Stephanie Plum series has been a favorite of mine since the first book, "One For the Money" and I'm always waiting for the next book.  This is no exception.  "Top Secret Twenty One" will bring you a smile and entertain you, and that's a promise!

I have always looked forward to the June release of the newest Stephanie Plum book. It is near my birthday and one of my daughters always buys it as a gift. This year, I wish she had just given me a gift certificate instead! I am sorry that she wasted her money. The last few years I have been less enthralled with each book. Sadly, Ms. Evanovich has lost her ability to write witty, engaging stories and she needs to stop this series before she has books thrown back at her in protest.

I have been a huge fan, but these last two books are a waste of time and money. I'd like to mail it back to her. Heck, maybe I will...

I can always count on Janet Evanovich via Stephanie Plum to provide me with laughs...I am so grateful for that!!! Thanks for the consistent characters and the ups and downs with her two guys!

I've enjoyed the Plum books from 1 - 19! I hope Ms Evanovich just keeps cranking them out! Good reads.

Only gave this four stars because after 20 in this series, something needs to change in Stephanie's personal relationships.  Things are a little too predictable...

Like many others I was a little disappointed with the last couple of books in this series. God knows I love all the characters in Stephanie Plumb world but I would really like to see more new developments rather than more retreads and repetition. In Sizzling Sixteen, a lot of changes occur that set the stage for character growth in upcoming books. Yes, there is some dialog/scene recycling - for example - Lula's doughnut and fried chicken fixation are getting very tired.  Even to a lesser extent the slapstick FTA capture scenes are feeling a little redundant.

I won't put any spoilers in here but given where things ended up in this book, I am looking forward to the next one to see where things go.  I would really love to see Sally Sweet come back into the fold for another book.  I'm going to hang in there with Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger, Lula, Connie, and Grandma for at least one more hardback, maybe more.

I really enjoyed this book it seemed to return to the fun and semi tough Stephanie that the first books had.  A good plot with mystery and humor.
