Plum Lovin’ is the second of Janet Evanovich’s Between the Numbers series. You may remember that I wasn’t very impressed with the first entry in this Stephani Plum mini-series. Think of these books as a webisode version of the main series. Evanovich is exploring light urban fantasy by giving Stephanie a turn with the superpowered (and superhunky) Diesel.
This time finds Stephanie looking for bail jumper Annie. The mysterious Diesel shows up and informs her he has Annie locked away for her protection. It appears Annie is an unmentionable like Diesel. She’s a matchmaker. If Stephanie helps Diesel with his case, he will turn over Annie. Diesel is trying to find Bearnie, another unmentionable who has it in for Annie. His power is to give people a rash. So Stephanie takes on Annie’s case load while she helps Diesel track down his fugitive.
This second entry is stronger, mostly because Evanovich plays to her strengths by including the hillarious secondary characters of Grandma Mazur and Lula to the fullest. These two, over-the-top women are the reason why many people have stuck with the main series long after it became a little repetitive.
I will give the third book a look because of how good this one was.
