Editorial Reviews

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Crusie teams up with USA Today bestselling author Bob Mayer to write a sizzling, high-octane romantic adventure about a straight-talking woman and a straight-shooting man…
Lucy Armstrong is a director of television commercials who's just been recruited to finish a four-day action movie shoot. But she arrives on the set to discover that the directing staff has quit, the make-up artist is suicidal, the stars are egomaniacs, the stunt director is her ex-husband, and the lead actor has just acquired as an advisor a Green Beret who has the aggravating habit of always being right.

Green Beret Captain JT Wilder had thought that hiring on as a military consultant for a movie star was a good deal: easy money and easier starlets. Instead he has to babysit a bumbling comedian, dodge low-flying helicopters, and resist his attraction to a director who bears a distracting resemblance to Wonder Woman. Then the CIA calls and he realizes that somebody is taking “shooting a movie” much too literally.

Full of suspense and humor, non-stop action and fast-paced dialogue, Don't Look Down is the perfect blend of male and female, adventure and romance, Mayer and Crusie.

What a great duo! Her sense of humor and his manly input is fantastic. Don't miss it!

Love this type of novel-"Don't Look Down"

My daughter-in-love gave me the second book by these two authors and I loved the feisty, intelligent heroine, the good looking (of course) good guy and the assorted nutty characters and family members. So I went online to see if they'd written anything else and I found their first collaboration, "Don't Look Down." Another totally delightful book. The humor, the lead characters, the assorted nutty characters, really terrific. This one dealt with a dog food producer brought to a movie site to do four days of action scenes. Scenes that originally weren't in the movie.

As the hours slip by you'll be mesmerized by the good, the bad and the questionable as they slog their way through the movie with many other highlights thrown in along with a red herring or two.

I plan to get any other books these two write together, because they are a dynamite team. My daughter-in-love (an ex-daughter-in-law) agrees with me. Not only do we get to enjoy the books, but we get to talk about them, too.

Romance and Suspense!

From the reviews, some people did not like this new style of writing by Jennifer Crusie with co-author Bob Mayer. I did like it! Yes, it's a bit different from her usual style, but I liked the element of danger and suspense, along with dollops of her trademark humor. I've also read the second collaboration, Agnes and the Hit Man, which I liked even better. I hope Ms. Crusie continues to write both solo and with Bob Mayer.

Worth more than I paid for it!

I found this book in the clearance bin ($5 for hardcover!) and it sounded good... a day and a half later I was on Kindle to see if there were any other books by Crusie & Mayer because I was left wanting more! I love realsitic romance books with good action/adventure plus a "happily ever after" (hey, I'm reading to escape reality!) and this one more than fit the bill... must read "Agnes & the Hitman" too. Crusie & Mayer are an amazing duo & I hope another book is in the works.

Jennifer and Bob, does not seem to be a great mix

I'm a big Jennifer Crusie fan. I have never read a book by Bob Mayer. I must say, that I was kind of disappointed by "Don't Look Down". The story has the usual Jennifer Crusie style, but the writing did not. I was confused 30% of the time because what followed did not make sense. In the end, I'm not even sure if some of the good guy is a bad guy or not. Some scenes did not make sense either. I would recommend reading her older books if you're looking for something a lot more funny, exciting and racy. My favorite is "Drive Me Crazy".
