*************************EDIT:Still frustrated. Still love Lula and Grandma Mazur. Problem is, I love both Morelli and Ranger. I used to lean more toward Morelli, but lately he seems sort of apathetic towards any relationship with Stephanie. It's Ranger that tries to help her out and take care of her, and he seems genuinely worried that she'll get hurt. Morelli just complains that she gives him heartburn. This one was still definitely worth reading, though if your looking for closure, it still ain't happening. I just want some resolution! PLEASE! Pick a man! Then do another series to find the other guy a freaking awesome woman.*************************I'm really hoping for some man resolution in this one. I loved this series with a passion until a few books ago. I used to wait anxiously for the next book in the series. I've now had Smokin Seventeen for a couple of months, and still haven't read it. I heard that the Morelli/Ranger issue is still up in the air, and that Stephanie is still the same old Stephanie. I've lost my Plum love! How many years does this series cover? It would be interesting to know, as Stephanie never seems to change. And why did I love her years ago and now roll my eyes? Hmmm...maybe it's time to have an HEA, end the series, and move on to a new idea. Or just choose Morelli and give us a couple of juicy books in which he teaches her to shoot and gives her babies.
