2.5 stars.

Look, the Between-the-Numbers books are vaguely fun. But they're also totally weird in that it takes a well established crime/chick lit series and reinvents it as tangentially paranormal. It also basically turns the existing love triangle into a love square with the addition of Diesel to Steph's List of Guys Who Randomly Appear In Her Apartment, and NO THANK YOU PLEASE.

This one made MARGINALLY more sense than Visions of Sugar Plums, in that it's basically Steph being roped into helping a bunch of people have a good Valentine's Day. It was fine. But it was also nothing special or particularly memorable. So. There's that.

I love this series and this fun Valentine’s Day novella didn’t disappoint. This book gave me an inside peek at her relationship with Diesel. The banter between them is hilarious as are Bob’s (the dog) antics.

The real mystery in these books is why Stephanie Plum does not hang over her belt. Second mystery is how exiciting a man can be. These books have it all animals, food, danger and sexual innuendo.

3.5 ⭐️

Love Diesel!!

2.5 stars- I love this series but the in-between books are just so so. Still, any mention of Ranger in these books sells me lol.

I picked this up at my medical centre in the second hand section of books and thought it sounded intriguing. Stephanie Plum I found is a typical Jersey girl from an Italian family a divorcee dithering between two men and another on the periphery and I’m these typical chick lits she confuses herself between them all. Most of us can barely get the attention of one man never mind 3! These books are entertaining only in the lack of common sense in the main character. I’m hoping in later books either the men take the decision out of her hands and all but one drops off or she just gets a clue. I enjoyed the secondary characters they flesh it out

It was funny cute and full of romance and a fast read

I loved this little addition. Great change of pace with my favorite Jersey Girl. She was a wonderful matchmaker, and the clientele were extraordinary. The absence of her main men added to the focus of her change in work for the day in order to secure her bonded person. So fun, a great addition to this series.

I enjoyed this more then n  n. I'm also warming up to the character of Diesel.

#12.5 in the Stephanie Plum Trenton, New Jersey bounty hunter series. Light in tone, long on humor with great characters. In order to obtain a bail jumper, Stephanie agrees to help Diesel, person with "unmentionable skills" who keeps popping into her life, catch another person with "unmentionable skills" who is spreading bad cases of hives all over the place. Valentine's Day is coming and Stephanie has to help several people find love or whatever romance they are seeking by that day as part of the deal.

Really an enjoyable quick read.

Home sick today, and this was an excellent audio book to curl up with as I coughed and blew my nose. Much better than Visions of Sugar Plums which was the first between the numbers I had read.
