Stephanie Plum #11-15 ReRead
Well turns out I was sort of wrong when it comes to the Steph-Joe-Ranger love triangle. Eleven On Top and Twelve Sharp have almost made me appreciate what Ranger brings to the table. He has a certain easy charm and like Stephanie says, he’s Batman. Who doesn’t want to get with Batman?
