To the Nines was your standard Stephanie Plum book, filled with humorous mishaps and action. While this book was as good as the others I have read, there was one major drawback for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the occassional "romantic" moment in a book. However this one went far beyond that and at times I was wondering if how what I was reading could be considered a mystery. Her previous books have always held a sexual aspect to them with the Morelli/Ranger dynamic. However it seems that this one was just a bit raunchier especially with some of the descriptions provided. The fact that a portion of this novel does take place in Las Vegas would cause me to give a little more leeway to the raunchiness, however most of it takes place in New Jersey versus Vegas. All in all, another good addition to the Stephanie Plum novel.
Rambling Reviews
There is no doubt about it, I should probably be going to meetings for my book addiction. Not only do I love reading, but I have this really bad habit of buying WAY more books than I could ever hope to read. But to me that's part of the fun. After all I never know what I'll be in the mood for so having a relatively large selection is justified, right?
The thing that I love about reading is that it is a great way to escape the stress of everyday life. And best of all, I can do it pretty much anywhere! When I can't (or just flat out don't want to) cope with whatever life's handed my way I can just glide on over to my trusty bookshelf. From there I can decide if I want to go back in history, or on some thrilling hunt for a murderer, or have a steamy little fling with a hunk right out of a New Adult novel. Whatever mood strikes, I can transport myself there and get a break from the real life madness.
