Review - Twelve Sharp
Title: Twelve Sharp
Author: Janet Evanovich
Publishing Date: 2006
Genre: Mystery
Rating: B+
Sensuality: Subtle
Book Disclosure: I recieved a free copy from a friend.
Twelve Sharp is part of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum mystery series. For those of you who are not familiar with this series, Stephanie is a bounty hunter who doesn't go looking for trouble but trouble always seems to find her. Somehow through dumb luck and zany hilarity Stephanie always manages to get the bad guy. In Twelve Sharp Stephanie gets quite a shock when Ranger's wife shows up on her doorstep. Ranger is a man of mystery. He is a bounty hunter and owns his own security business. Stephanie is quite shocked to learn that Ranger has a wife. The situation escalates when Ranger's daughter is kidnapped and Stephanie teams up with Ranger to get her back.
Twelve Sharp is another fun ride with Stephanie and her gang of crazy sidekicks. More is at stake in this book when Ranger's daughter is kidnapped. The tension is ratcheted up a notch from previous books. It's still funny and the characters are still doing crazy things, but more is at stake. As for the romance, I think things get a little bit clearer as for which man is right for Stephanie. Stephanie will eventually have to make a decision but she clearly isn't ready. I think the choice is obvious, but I know there is plenty of debate over Joe vs. Ranger.

I'm only on book 8 in the series and I'm starting to think she's never going to make up her mind. lol
I finally JUST read the first one, and thought it obvious that she belongs with Morelli... especially if Ranger has a wife and daughter! (Or is the spouse situation somehow complicated and Stephanie Plum actually still has a decision to make?)
Tricia - From what I understand the series up to 16 books and the relationship triange is still unresolved.
Kate - I feel the same way. I am team Morelli all the way. I don't even think there is competition. If you feel this way you are probably going to be annoyed with the love triangle in the rest of the books.
