This is not up to the standard of the Stephanie Plum novels. It is okay and a book which I got with a pile of others at a penny social. The heroine, Billie Pearce, is a nice enough person who becomes involved with a wealthy newspaper owner who teaches polo as a side interest, and has some wacky cousins--the explosive intelligent Max and his older sister Deedee, who is about to get married for the 7th? time to a professional wrestler. Billie is very wishy washy about her feelings, and the story seems very improbable.
