Ms. Mason has done it again. She’s created memorable, believable yet quirky and charmingly flawed characters who find themselves in unpredictable scenarios from which they extract themselves with their myriad talents. AND they make us think and laugh and keep us in suspense the entire time. A very enjoyable read!

Mo is a private investigator but mostly she just poses as the ‘honey pot’ for husbands suspected of cheating. One day she gets an assignment to break into a car and gets stuck in a most vulnerable position. (this is the first scene of the book and it was really funny – I read it twice) The owner of the car, Ross Grant, (a actor from a popular movie who’s been out of work for a while) finds her and they somehow get tangled up in a blackmail plot involving the Russian mafia, a stripper, a Ross Grant impersonator, and an insane ex-girlfriend who doesn’t accept the breakup. Oh and there is a book convention, complete with furries! All the while they have a sleazy journalist following them just close enough to show their ‘shitake’ to the world but not close enough to be of any help.This book was a lot of fun. The main character’s strive to keep a g rated mouth kept me giggling. The plot was well planned out and I couldn’t guess the end. There was a real mystery here and no one just handed them the answers. Action packed from start to finish, the author managed to fit in plenty of funny and even a believable romance. I didn’t know there was a ‘humorous romantic suspense’ book category out there, but now I am sure I have read the best of it. I would love to see these characters again and if I can’t, if this is it for Mo and Ross, then I will settle for anything else this author has written. I can’t imagine I won’t love them all.
