I used to love Janet Evonovich, but like others, got sort of tired of the same story with a different set of characters. Poor Stephany doesn't ever seem to learn anything, and while Ranger is someone I think I might know, even he has gotten sort of stale with his undeveloping personality. I have read a few of her non-Plum books and thought, ho-hum. I keep reading her books though, thinking she'll catch that spark again, and my interest.
