Deal With This - Goddard Project, Bk 2 Author:Lucy Monroe Alan Hyatt could do his job in his sleep, and when the Goddard Project sends him to investigate a case of high-tech espionage in the Vancouver film industry, he finds a perfect reason to work in bed. But sizzling actress Jillian Carlyle also happens to be his landlady, and she's got a hard-and-fast (so to speak) rule that keeps her from dati... more »ng her renters. While Alan's cover as a reporter gets him close to all the suspects on the set of Jillian's sci-fi show, playing a background actor at her suggestion to get his story? Well, that's something else -- but he's not about to turn down a red-hot redhead, even if she keeps throwing him curves...
Jillian just can't understand it. Sure, Alan is six-feet-something of chiseled ruggedness with gray eyes and an irresistible growl in his voice. But hello? She doesn't do relationships -- even of the casual kind -- with men who impact more than her senses. No one is getting a chance at her heart. Especially not one of her renters. Still, there's nothing wrong with enjoying Alan from afar -- but not too far, or she wouldn't be able to fully appreciate his rock-hard abs when he's working out in the home gym.

Here is a writer who is not afraid to use the Thesaurus. When was the last time you read a piece of fluffy smut that used the word "miasma"? I still can't get the vision of the description of post coital heroine's "boneless legs" (a la Family Guy) out of my head. Lucy Monroe, afraid I simply could not "Deal With This."

Ok. Not as good as 1st in series but worth the read just to keep up with series. Romance part was great but a little more depth to story would have been better.
I really enjoyed this book but I've liked almost everything contemporary that I've read by this author. I don't think any compare to 'Ready' and 'And Able' but this book ties in with that series loosely as well as with 'the Real Deal'. the male in this story is mentioned in 'satisaction guaranteed' (satisfaction guaranteed has the guy mentioned in 'and able') and the woman in this one is seen in 'the real deal' and I wish I'd known that because I had that story already but just hadn't read it and I like to read stuff in order!
this one took a little getting used to at first and I think it's because he was the ex-fiance of the woman in the first book(satisfaction guaranteed) so I was set to dislike him! and this one dealt with hollywood and a commitment phobic woman who was to the point of never spending the night,etc with a guy. throw in some gay roomies with their humor and the book was a good read.
