Book Description:
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 about 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!

Slim but enjoyable Evanovich book. A bit less cohesive than the numbers series, and it feels a bit like what it was - an attempt to get the Stephanie Plum fan without a full numbers book release from Evanovich. Paperback Swap is the best way to read this one.

Lots of fun - cute break from the regular books. Diesel returns and we learn a little more about him and the Unmentionables. Also, some fun hints or maybe red herrings about who Stephanie eventually ends up with...

I love the between the numbers Stephanie Plum books as a quick fix between the real novels. Same great Plum antics in an itty bitty package.

This was a good book, but it's too short and seems like Evanovich is kind of desperate to keep her name out there between books. The plot was really reaching in some places. It's good, and definitely worth reading since some of the elements in the book will carry into #13, but it's not her best writing or my favorite of the series.

This book was short, sweet and funny as all get out! As much as I love the play between Stephanie, Ranger and Joe, when Stephanie teams up with Diesel, I laugh a little bit more.

This was a fun quick read. Stephanie becomes a matchmaker while working with hunky Diesel. The sexual tension is great.

From Our Editors
The Barnes & Noble Review
The saying "When it rains, it pours" certainly applies to the love life of Stephanie Plum, the charming protagonist in Janet Evanovich's wildly popular mystery saga featuring the lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter (Twelve Sharp, Eleven On Top, et al.). In Plum Lovin' -- a "between-the-numbers" mini-escapade -- Plum's love triangle (which includes Trenton cop Joseph Morelli and bounty hunter Ricardo "Ranger" Manoso) suddenly becomes a quadrilateral when Diesel, a hunky heartthrob who is as mentally unstable as he is mysterious, suddenly shows up in Plum's life.

A self-proclaimed Unmentionable (someone with abilities that "go beyond what would be considered normal human limitations"), Diesel is somewhere between a certifiable wack job and a superhero with a bad attitude, but Stephanie couldn't care less about his grasp (or lack thereof) on reality: He has killer dimples and a smile that makes women weak in the knees. And he has Annie Hart, a bail-jumping "relationship expert" who is on Stephanie's most wanted list, in his possession. For Plum to get hold of Hart, however, she must first help out five of Annie's lovelorn clients. So, with Valentine's Day quickly approaching, Plum is forced to play Cupid for a divorced mother of four, a dorky vet, a 35-year-old virgin, a shy butcher, and her sister's boyfriend!

Readers who don't find themselves spontaneously laughing out loud throughout this novel should check for a pulse. Paul Goat Allen

I love Stephanie Plum! This was a good fast read. I highly recommend it!

Just a funny, in-between, novel book with Stephanie still playing bounty hunter and getting in over her head. This time she's playing matchmaker for Valentine's Day as a condition of getting on of her clients.

Her sister is still single and waiting for Albert to marry her.

Stephanie still has Joe and Ranger as her love interests!

Nice, fluff, to break the monotony of a series!

This book isn't as good as the "Real" Plum books but it does introduce "Diesel" who is interesting and sexy so it's worth reading.

Love, love, love the Stephanie Plum series. This was no exception. Quick read with all the fun characters but not as serious a plot. Great for a quick Plum fix! Would definately read again during a withdrawl period!

New man in Stephanie's life, Diesel, is every bit as fun as Joe & Ranger.
