Alan Hyatt is the newest member of The Goddard Project; he is being sent to Vancouver to investigate a high tech espionage in the film industry. Alan is being sent as a reporter to do a series of stories on the film industry in Vancouver, and this should get him into a studio where he can do some investigating. The studio is not a very large one, and he thinks that he can just slip right in with some of the cast members who room together in a home owned by actress Jillian Carlyle. Once he meets the other members who live there, he almost changes his mind and heads for the hills; three gay men and two straight women including the landlady who was so sexy that he ended up not wanting any of these people to have anything to do with what was going on at the studio. Will his wish come true or will he end up having to arrest a housemate for the espionage?

Jillian Carlyle is an actress who owns her board house and one rule she has is that no one in the house can hook up. If that happens, they will eventually break up, and she doesn’t want the bad feelings that brings so they all agree no hook ups and that rule applies to her as towel as the other house members. She has no problems with this until Alan walks into her house. Then no holds barred she wants to tie him down and make love and not let him out for a month or two. For him she does away with the rule knowing that he will be gone in just a month so it will be okay for her not wanting to get seriously involved with anyone. The longer they are together the longer she wants them to be together, will her not wanting to sleep together be okay or will it make her want him more?

This book was a very exciting book. The cast of characters were amazing and had me laughing out loud from the first page of the book. The way they react to each other really made this story. Alan and Jillian made a real connection, and the way that the love story played out built the sexual tension to a boiling point. The mystery is one of the most exciting things about this story and the book relates to some of other Ms. Monroe’s books from the past. If you have read any of her past mysteries and know how addicting they are, you know that this will be one of the ones that you will not want to put down once you pick the book up.
