Publisher's summary

Watch your back...Look both ways...Because love is in the air...And that means big trouble!

Mysterious men have a way of showing up in Stephanie Plum's apartment. When the shadowy Diesel appears, he has a task for Stephanie, and he's not taking no for an answer. Annie Hart is a "relationship expert" who is wanted for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Stephanie needs to find her, fast. Diesel knows where she is. So they make a deal: he'll help her get Annie if Stephanie plays matchmaker to several of Annie's most difficult clients. But someone wants to find Annie even more than Diesel and Stephanie. Someone with a nasty temper. And someone with "unmentionable" skills. Does Diesel know more than he's saying about Annie Hart? Does Diesel have secrets he's keeping from Stephanie and the two men in her life, Ranger and Morelli? With Stephanie Plum in over her head, things are sure to get a little dicey and a little explosive, Jersey style!

Love that Plum

My sister got me hooked on Stephanie Plum, and now I can't get enough!
Lorelei King adds so much with her narration. Please Me Evanovich, keep
Writing these Plum great stories.
Hint: You know, if Steph and Joe ever got married, they could open their own PI
Firm and work together. Just sayin

Cute book

Love is in the air for Valentine's day, with Stephanie and Diesel's help. shame Joe or Ranger weren't there

Disappointing

No real plot. Tries to be funny but isn't. My first and last "Plum" book. By far the worst book I have listened to over the last 40 or so books.

Formulaic.

Would you try another book from Janet Evanovich and/or Lorelei King?

I have always loved the Plum series. The characters are so funny and I find myself laughing out loud. But this book didn't explore any of that great character development I have found in most of the series. The book bored me. No surprises. No belly laughs. I was bitterly disappointed.

What was most disappointing about Janet Evanovich’s story?

There were none of the really great scenes with grandma. That is just one example of what left me wanting.

Disappointing....

REALLY disappointing... I read or listened to the Plum books from the beginning, in order, last year. I was eagerly looking forward to this, but I feel so let down.
Maybe a book was due and needed to be in by the deadline. Sort of seems that way...

Predictable

In this novel I find that the story line is predictable. It is cute but not up to Evanovich’s normal standards. I find it hard to read her novels sometimes in that her character Stephanie Plum continues to fail to learn from her errors and does nothing to improve herself. It is not that she has to be real but how many times can she continue to be a nitwit and not do something about her condition. Even a blind hog occasionally will find an acorn.
In this latest version of Stephanie’s life there is no exception. I for one wish that the author would update her character's training and then we could have new errors to contend with. Not as good as her other stories but not bad either.

Plum Lovin'

I love Janet Evanovich's humor, but I thought I must be tired of the series, or this one did not make the grade. It was somewhat boring. I hope she can find a new character and take the reader to new places.

A waste of 1 credit

I found this book to be a waste of time. It was a little humorous here and there, but very bland.

Don't ruin Stephanie!

I have a special place in my heart for Stephanie Plum and her creator, Ms. Evanovich. You see the first time I was introduced to Stephanie was on a empty flight from Chicago to Los Angeles after 9/11. I live in Los Angeles but was in New York on that fateful day and it took me a week to get home. I had to rent the last car left in Manhattan and drive to my family's home in Chicago in order to catch a flight. I discovered Stephanie at the airport, grabbing a book before I boarded my flight for Burbank airport. I laughed all the way to Los Angeles. Stephanie and Ms. Evanovich provided sweet relief after a horribly traumatic time in my life. I was hooked and have read every Stephanie Plum since. Unfortunately, this latest essay..it's hard to call this 3 hour story a book...was a great disappointment. Weak story line, weak dialog and worse of all..no laughs! I I fear that Ms. Evanovich is bowing to the pressure many popular novelists do and that is to prioritize the publication dates of their novels above the quality of the book they are writing. I fear for Stephanie's future if this type of 'quick fix' writing continues.

Plum Lovin..

I am very sorry that I wasted my time and money. I hope this is not an indication of future Stephanie Plum books.
