Cue the James Bond music and call the Geek Squad! If you like your espionage with thrills, romance and a touch of humor look no further. You’ll find sensuality and sass in my new high-tech action romance, DEAL WITH THIS.
It’s lights, camera, action as this novel brings you inside the Vancouver film industry. It’s a fun look at the industry itself while taking you through a rollercoaster ride of spy action and hot romance. And maybe just a little humor.
Michelle Buonfiglio of Lifetime TV’s Romance: B(u)y the Book says, “Lucy Monroe excels at creating alpha bad boys and authentic erotic romance.” And Romantic Times gave DEAL WITH THIS four stars calling my characters “sexually empowering.” Advance readers claim the love scenes sizzle more than any other book I’ve written and that they fell in love with the characters.
My “alpha bad boy” Alan (from Satisfaction Guaranteed) goes undercover to find out who is trying to auction off international secrets and finds himself on the set of a scifi TV show with the star of the show, Jillian (from The Real Deal), set to help him whether he likes it or not!
I am super pleased with this novel because of the character development of both of these characters. Alan isn’t a typical “alpha male”, but has layers of complexity to him that allow him to appreciate Jillian’s independence and accept himself without having to be in charge all the time - though he certainly takes his turn. (I’ll leave it to your imagination or reading the book to figure out what that means. ::g::) Jillian is strong, sassy, fun and loveable. She won’t faint at the sight of a gun and she doesn’t mind talking about sex, needs and what she really wants.
Throw in a scifi TV show, producers, spies, anti-gravity planes and really hot love scenes and you’ve got DEAL WITH THIS! Out today!
Watch the book trailer and let me know what you think.
Hugs,
Lucy
P.S. Don’t forget the party still going on at my personal blog to celeberate the release of DEAL WITH THIS.

Hey Lucy!
I’m very intrigued by Alan and Jillian and while I’ve enjoyed all of the excerpts I’ve read, I can’t wait to read the entire story!
I have this book, and am looking forward to reading it. The book trailer is great.
I have this book, and am excited to be reading it sometime this week. I love your stories, and how you try to make your characters more complex than the typical hero/heroine. It’s those added layers that make the stories even more interesting.
A great book trailer Lucy; I love that it takes place in Vancouver being I’m from Canada and have been to Vancouver. I want to get to know Alan and Jillian.
Thanks, gals! Please let me know what you think of the book when you get a chance.
The trailer is great. I won this book and am awaiting its arrival.
sounds so good and hot cover
Thanks! And Estella…where did you win it? (Want to make sure I got all contest prizes sent out. )
Hi Lucy,
I won it on the Southern Sunshine blog.
Gotcha…Cindy’s taking care of that - she generously offered to provide the prizes herself. Neat, huh?
