Hard Eight is no different to the previous seven books but I loved it nonetheless. I am rather running out of things to say about this series, because well, I feel like I’m repeating myself. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not a bad thing, but well, I’m out of words. (After all, how often do you want to hear I loved the plot/writing/characters? See.) It was nice in its predictableness, everything was there that I expected and I absolutely loved it. Sure, I was a teensy bit gutted that the book didn’t pick up where 7 left off (Ranger coming into Stephanie’s bedroom), but well, that was told to us rather quickly (and it was rather disappointing!).
The Plum novels, long and short, make me happy. I love reading them, I love the fact they’re guaranteed to make me laugh and, well, I love Ranger. I want to marry Ranger. I know Morelli is endgame for Stephanie, there’s absolutely no doubt about that, but well, I love the Stephanie/Ranger flirting in the meantime. Did I mention I love Ranger? Doesn’t everyone want a Ranger? Doesn’t everyone want someone who’ll protect you and look hot doing so? See. Stephanie is undoubtedly the master of the series, but Ranger makes the series. I’m sure Janet herself would agree. I now move on to one of the Plum short stories before plunging into number 9. I can’t wait!
