I don't think there is any love there specially after reading 19. Ranger is sooo over the heels in love with her it's sad. My big question is WHY? Why would someone so amazing fall for someone like Steph. It boggles my mind.

But the author makes both Joe and Ranger do stupid things to keep the so-called triangle going. And Stephanie is my major problem the way she never learns or makes progress. I'm at a loss as to why either guy is attracted to her anymore.
There are too many books out there with characters who grow and learn for me to keep rereading the same story with each "new" book, so I'm better off with my fond memories of the first half/third of the series and to stay away from the new books.
As for TV, the will-they/won't-they in perpetuity is one of my biggest pet peeves. No one is allowed to be happily married/commited on TV anymore unless they are clueless sitcom parents. I miss shows like Hart to Hart and McMillan & Wife. At least Wings had a few seasons of Joe & Helen firmly together then married. And I loved the last season of Lois & Clark. So, it does work. /rant
