  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;SHE &lt;/b&gt;is a director of dog food commercials who&amp;#8217;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;HE &lt;/b&gt;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&amp;#8217;s taking &amp;#8220;shooting a movie&amp;#8221; much too literally. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[After loving my first Crusie book, Bet Me, I had high hopes for this one.  I was a ways into the book before I realized that it was written in collaboration with Bob Mayer.  I didn't love it, but did want to finish it.  The Rambo-nature of the men and technical military terms made me question the pu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70087959">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this one nearly as much as I generally like Crusie's work.  It seems that the collaboration is at its root ... the insertion of the special forces and CIA really seemed forced.  The climax was utter incomprehensible, to the point where I may need to read the last couple of chapters aga...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72228364">more...</a>]]></body>
