SHE is a director of dog food commercials who’s just been recruited to finish a four-day movie shoot. But as soon as Lucy Armstrong arrives on set, she discovers that the staff is in chaos, the make-up artist is suicidal, and the stunt director just happens to be her ex-husband. That, and the temperamental lead actor has just acquired as an advisor a Green Beret who has the aggravating habit of always being right.
 
HE thought that hiring on as a military consultant for a movie star was a to-die-for deal: easy work, easy money, easier starlets. But his first day on the job, Captain J.T. Wilder ends up babysitting a bumbling comedian, dodging low-flying helicopters, and trying to find out who’s taking “shooting a movie” much too literally.

Chapter One



Lucy Armstrong was standing on the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge when she first spotted the black helicopter coming at her through the sunset.



Based on the rest of her day, that wasn’t going to be good.



Twenty feet to her right, her assistant director, Gleason Bloom, ignored the chopper and worked the set like a depraved grasshopper, trying to organize what Lucy had already recognized as her career’s most apathetic movie crew. Her gratitude to Gloom for his usual good work was only exceeded by her gratitude that he hadn’t yet seen that

Praise for Don't Look Down

“This first collaboration between bestselling romance writer Crusie and adventure-thriller writer Mayer is a rare delight. Mayer’s delectably dry sense of humor perfectly complements Crusie’s brand of sharp wit, and together the two have cooked up a sexy, sassy, and smart combination of romance and suspense that is simply irresistible.”—Booklist
 
“Bless the day that Crusie and Mayer sat down to chat, for this collaboration is inspired!”—Romantic Times BOOKreviews (Top Pick)
 
“Noted romance/chick-lit author Crusie (Bet Me) and adventure author Mayer (Z: A Dave Reilly Novel) team up [and] the writing is seamless.” —Library Journal
 
 “The two writers/two viewpoints style lends itself to humor, and the authors don’t stint on fast-paced action and complication.”—Tampa Tribune
 
“It’s light; it’s witty; it’s a page-turner. It’s romantic, in a he-man/she-modern-woman manner.”
—The State (South Carolina)
 
“Combines wit, romance, and movie-quality action in one fast-paced book.”—News and Sentinel (Parkesburg, WV)
 
“Plenty of big guns, helicopters…and light repartee…all in good fun. Readers will be happy to get a bit damp.”—Publishers Weekly
 
“Think Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie True Lies.”—Georgia Library Quarterly

I don't often write reviews, but the combination of Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer is a winning one. I have never read a book by either of them, but I will be in the future. This is a combination of a light romance and an action thriller. The book jacket says a "sizzling, high-octane romantic ad ...more

I have loved (or really liked) just about all of Jennifer Crusie's books. Her collaboration with Bob Mayer has been gold. Bob adds an excitement and male perspective that really enhances the story. Through the characters' back-and-forth exchanges you can almost hear the back-and-forth that probab ...more

I've read one of Bob and Jennifer's collaborations prior to this and it wasn't my favorite book, but I was willing to give it another go.

This is a GREAT story, full of mystery, a little romance and plenty of humor. I'm not sure if it was just because it was set in the swamp and had an ...more
