A fun "in-between-the-numbers" novella in the Stephanie Plum series. Crazy people & shenanigans abound. Just what I needed after some more serious fare.

These books are small and light. A great break from stresses of real life.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be based on other reviews. Funny in many parts, this is an entertaining & quick read. Not sure I'd read more of this series, as I'm not overly compelled by Stephanie Plum's character. Only reason I read it is because I'm missing book club & a local library is hosting one around this book.

Love this book! A little in-between the numbers with the gorgeous Diesel. Much better gift for Valentine's Day than chocolate and flowers..well maybe with them.


May 2016-- Still lovin' it!

May 2018—Diesel shows up and convinces Steph to become a ‘relationship expert.’
Yes. You heard that right. The girl who can’t decide between Ranger and Morelli is given the job to help others find love.

What can I say? I love Janet Evanovich, I love the Stephanie Plum series. It is the sole series of books that every single time I read them, they cause me to laugh out loud. Every one of them has been clever and well written and absolutely hilarious.

This is a "between the numbers" book, meaning she just wrote a small Plum book to keep us entertained after releasing #13 recently. In it, Stephanie agrees to help out a match maker with her most difficult clients, one of whom is her sister Valerie's fiance, who faints at the idea of getting married.

Very short book, not overly taxing, but a whole lot of fun!!! If you love Plum, you'll enjoy this.

I read these books because they make me laugh! Funny characters, very true and consistent in how they behave and react. They remind me of my own family in a small village when I kind of knew what everyone will be saying or doing in a strange situation. My family was normal but families cosist of interesting members, saying strange or weird things... So, I love the series, and I read them because of the unexpected happenings in between the expected one's. Go Grandma Mazur!

I've read this before this first between the novels book so I'm left a little spacey and clueless. I didn't have a feel for Diesel because of this. Regardless, this felt rushed and left me wanting in terms of the usual laugh I get from the Plum series.

I have heard so many women rave about the books by Janet Evanovich, but I was never driven to read one. Since my book group is currently reading mysteries, I thought I would give one a try; my local library did not have One for the Money on the shelf, so I thought I would go for a "between-the-numbers" book. It was good for an audiobook - you didn't have to pay too close of attention, the characters were fun, and the plot wasn't intricate. I have been told I must try the numbers series, which I will do, eventually. Overall, a good listen. I will probably look for more of her books on audio.

Spoiler!


I was actually a little bummed about this one. The author left a loose end and unless it gets rectified in the next one, it was sloppy. Ranger tells Stephanie he needs to leave town, says he needs to talk to her when he gets back, and then goes. She references that he's ever the man of mystery, but we never find out what Ranger needs to talk to her about. I kept waiting for it. It seemed to me that Janet forgot to bring him back in to have that chat. Not like her at all. Maybe it gets brought up in 13, but it wasn't referenced enough to give me hope that that's the case. It seems to me she forgot about it. If not, great! I hope we find out in the next book. Overall, I thought this was a cute, quick read. Just didn't like that missing detail.

Definitely not in the same category as her Stephanie Plum mysteries but it was a quick read on a busy weekend.

There are many things I think of, when I hear the name Stephane Plum. Cupid is not one of them.

I would go to Stephanie Plum for advice on making my hair bigger than Mt Rushmore or what boots might make my husband sweat behind his knees. Relationship advice from the largest commit-phobe in all of Trenton probably would not get me very far.

This is one of the only books where Stephanie doesn't destroy a car and Grandma Mazur manages to not cause hairy-kairy at a funeral, but the laughs abound none the less.

Shorter than the number books, grab this between the numbers book for a good laugh as Stephanie runs around trying to do Cupid's dirty work.

While it's a quick read, I'd highly recommend not reading this over morning coffee or lunchtime. Unless you like the idea of wasting good food to spew on your book!
