Why has Skater girl morphed into Morrelli?
Well... I did try to register here as Skater girl and it wouldn't have it, so I sat puzzling over what else would mean something to me without giving too much away. At the time, I was on the second reading of a series of books by Janet Evanovich that my sister introduced me to. Stephanie Plum, the heroine is like me in some ways - she has no big plans for her life, she heads straight for the bakery when life is stressful, and she goes home to her family on a regular basis even though they drive her nuts. Unlike me though, Stephanie frequently gets her car blown up, has trouble committing to the main man in her life (Joe Morelli) and is frequently tempted by danger man (Ranger). Of the two, I would definitely settle for the Italian stallion, Morelli, and since his name sounds like some wonderful type of ice cream, I decided I would pinch it. As luck would have it, I couldn't use the name as it stood, so I just added an extra 'r' to make it linger on the tongue a nanosecond longer.
I read the first book 'One for the money' quite reluctantly and only because my sister had shoved it into my hands, but I have been so glad she did that. They aren't exactly heavy intellectual reading, but the books make me laugh (hysterically at times), they have me on the edge of my seat, and they have some characters I can really relate to having been married into an Italian family in North America once upon a time. We are on to book 13 now, but I'm not so sure how many more Evanovich can write without simply taking the triangle relationship thing round in circles, thereby losing some of the spark.
