Lucy Armstrong directs television commercials and she's just been recruited to finish an action movie shoot. Despite the fact that she actually likes doing commercials and living in New York, everyone keeps calling this her âbig break.â
The stunt director for the film is her ex-husband and the lead actor has just brought on a Green Beret, JT Wilder, as an advisor â and is paying for the Green Beret out of his own pocket. Plus, her sister, Daisy, and young niece, Pepper, are the real reason she accepted the job â they called her and Pepper was in tears asking for her.
When she arrives, pretty much everyone on the movie set has quit and she's getting strange phone calls from the producer demanding that she finish the filming on schedule or he will sue her. Plus, the scene that's being filmed doesn't match with the rest of the storyline â which is a romantic comedy and has no other action scenes. And, a leading man who has inexplicably become a spy.
Lucy and JT start trying to figure out why the filming has changed so much and why someone is sabotaging the shot and causing major catastrophies on the set.
I've enjoyed all the other Jennifer Crusie stories that I've read and this my first Crusie/Mayer collaboration. The story is well written and I did like the story, but it got a bit confusing as to what was going on with the who's trying to do what.
