![]() ![]() Evanovich fans will find this audio funny and festive, down to the plum-colored CDs. ![]() King has fun with his stuttering attempts to make conversation in front of Jet, whom he adores from across the street. King does better with an overcaffeinated butcher, who comes to life only on the topic of sirloin. Other reappearing characters, like Lula and Plum's family, make cameo appearances, leaving room for some newbies, including a lovelorn vet, who sounds a bit too dumb to have ever gotten though school. Janet Evanovich is the 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series, the Lizzy and Diesel series, twelve romance novels, the Alexandra Barnaby novels and Trouble Maker graphic novel, and How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author, as well as the Fox and O'Hare series with co-author Lee Goldberg. He sounds more like the tranny Sally on testosterone than like Morelli and Ranger, the curiously absent macho men in Stephanie's life. Lorelei King, who has brought out the best in this series, plays Diesel with aplomb. Her sidekick for this adventure is Diesel, who appeared briefly in previous "Between-the-Numbers" novellas. Though Plum is at the center of this novella, the elusive quarry is love, not for herself but for the lonely hearts she must fix up by Valentine's Day. Evanovich turns out novels faster than her bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, downs doughnuts, and that's pretty quick. ![]()
