Well, that was incredibly disappointing. 
 I get that when reading this kind of series it is going to be repetitive. It's a comfort thing - formula is good because you know what you're going to get. 
 Yet after 22 books (18 novels, 4 novellas), you expect /some/ character development. But it was just the same old thing. 
 Like many others, I want Stephanie to just choose a guy already or just accept that she is a two guy girl. The latter is unlikely because of the underlying prudishness of her character, but the indecision is getting damn annoying. 
 Also, I'm probably in the minority when I say she should choose Ranger. Between him and Morelli, he's the better choice because at least he doesn't treat her like as much of a child as Joe. 
 Which brings me to the infantilisation. FFS, she is a grown woman, she doesn't need to be treated like a child, even though she behaves like one much of the time. 
 Gah. I could rant for ages but it won't make any difference. I will be selling my Stephanie Plum collection at a cheap price and will only get the books out of the library in the future. 
 One final thing, sleeping naked does not a whore make. 
 Edited to add: 
 Just read some of the other reviews on here. Disappointed in the slut shaming, but not surprised.
