Sorry, this one just didn't do anything for me. The main character is such a useless, helpless wimp that it's irritating--to me, of course-your mileage may vary. She's supposed to be a capable nurse, but whenever she gets in the presence of the hunky mysterious Jagger (which is most of the book), she's a helpless puddle of hormones doing silly things that are supposed to be funny, but aren't. They're just...silly. I also don't find a gay best friend and roommate's romance with a transvestite gay man very comfortable to be around, either.

Maybe it'd be better to just wait for the next Stephanie Plum book--why waste your time with a very poor imitation?
