Alright, I'm going to be honest here. I was really, really disappointed in Plum Lucky. This is achingly difficult for me to say, because I absolutely love the Stephanie Plum books, and I hate to say they all aren't great.
Honestly, it took me three days to read it, and when I read Plum Lovin', I had it done in a couple of hours. While I laughed all the way through Plum Lovin', I only laughed through the last 3 chapters of Plum Lucky.

I'm going to spend no more than five minutes writing this entry, because that's a fairly generous assessment of how much time best-selling author Janet Evanovich spent writing her latest Stephanie Plum escapade, Plum Lucky. Lucky is the author's third "between-the-numbers" novella. Translation: for those of you (okay, us) who can't wait for the next Plum novel (Fearless Fourteen!), Evanovich periodically pens a short teaser to slake our thirst for everyone's favorite bounty hunter and ...more

For a "Between-the-Numbers" book this one was pretty good... Stephanie Plum, Trenton, NJ's most famous or infamous bounty hunter is at it again. However, at less than 200 pages these are hardly an appetizer for the Numbers books... I basically read it because it was there...

I love the Stephanie Plum books, but these "between the numbers" books haven't thrilled me as much, although this is probably the best of the three so far (Visions of Sugar Plums; Plum Lovin'.) It's rather like eating the crumbs of Stephanie's favorite Tastee Cakes, but us diehard fans will take what we can get until Fearless Fourteen comes out in June. So far, these books have been centered around holidays: Christmas, Valentine's Day, and now St. Patrick's Day. Grandma Mazur takes ...more

Do you like quirky characters, snappy dialogue and absurd comical situations? If so, check out Stephanie Plum’s latest madcap adventure where you’ll meet a character who thinks he’s a leprechaun, cheer on Grandma Mazur’s latest antics, witness Lula’s supermodel aspirations, and sigh as yet another hunky male finds Stephanie irresistible.
‘Plum Lucky’ is the latest addition to a hilarious series featuring an eccentric cast of characters. Stephanie is a bounty hunter who typically...more

Diesel shows up to help Stephanie celebrate St. Patrick's Day in the burg.
Grandma Mazur finds a bag full of money, buys a Winnebago, hires a 3 foot
tall bodyguard and heads off to Atlantic City to try her luck at the slots.
Stephanie, Lula and Connie head out to bring Grandma home.
But there's a shady Leprechaun, named Snuggy O'Connor, hot on Grandma's trail.
Diesel's hot on Snuggy's trail and the mob's hot on everyone's trail!

Stephanie Plum is back and she does not disappoint. In this Between-the-Numbers novel, Grandma Mauzer finds a bag full of money and does what any self respecting senior from New Jersey does heads to Atlantic City and starts playing the slots and she not alone. She takes Randy Briggs to act as body guard. Soon Stephanie, Lulu and Connie are on the way to Atlantic City in hot pursuit. Along with the mysterious and oh so YUMMY, Diesel. But they are soon joined by a leprechaun named Snuggy, Ok ...more

Stephanie Plum has a way of attracting danger, lunatics, oddballs, bad luck... and mystery men. And no one is more mysterious than the unmentionable Diesel. He's back and hot on the trail of a little man in green pants who's lost a giant bag of money. Problem is the money isn't exactly lost. Stephanie's Grandma Mazur has found it, and like any good Jersey senior citizen she's high-tailed it in a Winnebago to Atlantic City and hit the slots. With Lula and Connie in tow, Stephanie attempts to brin...more

Stephanie Plums fans
The Stephanie Plum books are a guilty pleasure. Humorous light fare with a constant cast of characters including Plum, an inept detective hired to apprehend persons in Trenton who have skipped out on their bail, Lulu, her assistant, an obese busty ex hooker who wears clothes two sizes too small, her Ranger, a suave sophisticated man in the same industry and her boyfriend, Morelli, a Trenton cop. The odd ball grandmother, her wacky sister, exploding cars.

Hot on the heels of "Visions of Sugar Plums" and "Plum Lovin'", "Plum Lucky" is the latest and my favourite of the In Between The Numbers books.
"Plum Lucky" by Janet Evanovich features some of my favourite characters from the Number series including Stephanie Plum, Grandma Mazur, Lula and Connie with Joe and Ranger making "guest appearances". As with the other In Between The Numbers books, Diesel is also a m...more

It was time to pick up this book (or rather, load it on to my mp3 player) because I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Fearless Fourteen and didn’t want to skip a book! In this “Between the Numbers” book, Grandma Mazur manages to get herself kidnapped and Stephanie needs to get her back with the help of Diesel, Lula, Connie, and a few more of Trenton’s wacky characters. Oh, and Doug the horse.

The latest "between the numbers" Plum book lives up to the usual Plum goodness. Everything you expect to see happens in the less than 200 pages between the covers. Like any good Plum book, what happens under the covers will tickle and delight you in ways that probably should not be mentioned.
The cast of wacky characters grows to include one wanna-be leprochan with no luck and a telapathic horse as Grandma Mazur hauls the gange from Trenton to Atlantic City and back to Trenton onc...more

A new book on Stephanie. You'd think I'd be ecstatic, and having read it in 3 hours, I suppose I was gung-ho for the whole experience, and yet.... I know I've mentioned before that I don't particulairly like her "between the numbers" Plum reads, but they're reads I devour em like all the rest. The characters become more than fun lovingly outlandish, they're straight up comic book characters, and they don't really explore the relationships I love in her regularly numbered books, so th...more

Ahh. How much do I love these books? They are fast, funny, really funny, and have I mentioned how they make me laugh? Plus there's the whole mystery aspect which makes them fun-plus for me.
This one, however, is really only a three and a half. It's Evanovich's third Christmas "Stephanie Plum" novel. (See, she writes a full-length Stephanie Plum novel every other year or so, and interspersed with them are these shorter, novella-length ones she tosses out around Christmas.)

Although I am a fan of the Stephanie Plum books, the last few have made me wonder if Janet Evanovoch isn't running out of original ideas for her characters. This theory was highlighted for me while reading "Plum Lucky". I found myself bored with the tried-and-true plotline/storyline that made the first Stephanie Plum books so successful but have made Janet Evanovich seem more and more like a one-note now that the series is entering its 14th installment (not including the "extras...more

I adore the Stephanie Plum series, but I sometimes wonder if perhaps it is time for Ms. Evanovich to put Ms. Plum to bed. This book is a short 160-pages and I almost couldn't even force myself to wade through it. Character development went out the window. Very little action. No climax, per say. No building of dramatic tension. It was just sort of... silly... with everyone bumbling around with far too many deus ex machina moments than should be included in one book. I think this series has...more

I know the 'between the numbers' books are a little short on plot, but it's been a while since I've heard from my friend Stephanie Plum, so this is filling a void. I've missed Lula, and Grandma Mazur. I doubt Ranger will make an appearance in this one, so I will still long for him. But at least I met up with Bob. And my brain is ready for a rest and a nice easy read (oh believe me Krystal, I've noticed the trend too, and it's exhausting. And slow going).

Breathes there a woman with soul so dead who would not read a new Janet Evanovich novel when it came out? Which is to say, I snapped this up, even though I don't expect as much from the "between the numbers" novels as I do from the regular Stephanie Plum series. (On the plus side, I don't have to wait as long in the holds queue before I get to check the book out, either.) You'll be glad to know that Morelli is still the king of straight lines and the word "Babe" coming...more
