Lula, a former ‘ho and Stephanie’s fellow bond-enforcement agent, continues her relationship with Tank and tricks him into an engagement. She and Morelli feel domestic as they care for Zook and try to keep people out of the house and off the lawn. This impression may also be caused by the time Stephanie spends at Morelli’s house in Fearless Fourteen.
There’s only one sexually charged encounter between the two that I can remember. She still thinks sexually of Ranger, but seems less responsive to his advances. Stephanie seems to be moving toward a permanent commitment to Morelli. Stephanie’s car survives the novel and Grandma Mazur only attends one off-screen funeral – without causing any trouble. But while the characters are the same as ever, many standard gags are missing. Equally funny is Brenda, the diva, as she hits on Ranger and tries to remain in the spotlight. Having lost many friends to WOW, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her gamers. I enjoyed returning to the world of Evanovich’s lovably daffy characters. Loretta’s brother Dom has an old grudge against Morelli, and he’s been involved with some scary people due to a bank heist ten years ago. The clueless Moonman returns to protect the house with Zook and stalker Gary, as well as protect the house after Stephanie finds a dead man in the basement. At the same time, Stephanie is working again with Ranger, this time as a bodyguard to an aging diva and becomes involved with the diva’s psychic cousin/stalker. Stephanie and her lover Morelli take the job, but someone keeps breaking into his home. Thus, she needs someone to watch out for her son Mario, called Zook after his screen name on the online game Nation of Minionfire. Skip Loretta Rizzi owns no collateral to be rebonded, so she is stuck in the Trenton jail. Some paragraphs describing the importance of various characters in the beginning may bore returning readers. Despite being the fourteenth novel in the series, Fearless Fourteen is accessible to newcomers. She possesses excellent comedic timing and an appreciation for the absurd. Evanovich has been on my auto buy list for years and there she will remain. I knew the seventeenth of June would be a good day because it was the street date of Jane Evanovich’s latest Stephanie Plum mystery.
