Book Description

January 2003
B.L.I.S.S.

Definitions: 1.A hot man for steamy nights. 2.Travel, excitement, and the adrenaline rush of danger

Camryn O'Brien, B.L.I.S.S. agent 36DD, has it all. So why hasn't she achieved a satisfactory state of bliss? Probably because the hot man is Jace Sentori, who might or might not be an enemy agent intent on killing her. As for B.L.I.S.S., although no one knows what the letters of this international crime-fighting organization stand for, everyone agrees that a newbie agent's career could be short and termination sudden.

Camryn doesn't know if she'll survive her first assignment. With the dubious help of three retired B.L.I.S.S. agents, an ultimate weapon that proves to be an ultimate pain in the butt, and driving an aging pink Cadillac, she goes forth to do battle with L.O.V.E.R., the League of Violent Economic Revolutionaries.

On an exotic South American island dedicated to America's favorite board game, Monopoly, Camryn fights the forces of evil to keep the world's richest man alive.

Things look bleak. L.O.V.E.R.'s deadliest agent, Zed, is determined to clear the island's life-size Monopoly board from Mediterranean Avenue to the Boardwalk of anyone who would thwart L.O.V.E.R.'s plans.

Then there's Jace Sentori. Known as the Game Master, he's the master of many kinds of games. Camryn isn't sure which one he's playing with her, but she knows she'll roll the dice for a chance at love and mortgage all her tomorrows for a lifetime of bliss with this man of mystery.



Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When the League of Violent Economic Revolutionaries (L.O.V.E.R.) tries to assassinate Owen Sitall, the world's wealthiest man, B.L.I.S.S. (the meaning of this acronym remains a tantalizing mystery) sends its newest recruit, Camryn O'Brien, agent 36-DD, to protect him. Armed with her own special skill, which can be used against any man, and the latest in B.L.I.S.S. technology, and with three retired B.L.I.S.S. agents as partners, Camryn arrives at Sitall's secluded South American island, which Sitall has turned into a monument to his obsession with the board game Monopoly. While searching for the deadly L.O.V.E.R. agent Zed, the first dark and dangerous man Camryn bumps into is Jace Sentori, who insists he has other reasons for being on the island, but Camryn isn't exactly sure what kind of game Jace is really playing. The first in a new series featuring the women of B.L.I.S.S., this is a hilarious, sexy spoof of classic male espionage fiction. Bangs throws in all the expected spy ingredients, including such wonderful gadgets as Camryn's robotic cat, with some sensually sizzling love scenes to create a delightfully amusing romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over James Bond! Very highly recommended, February 2, 2003
This review is from: From Boardwalk with Love (Mass Market Paperback)
Selected for her unusual gift, Camryn O'Brien looks forward to her first assignment with B.L.I.S.S., an international crime fighting organization. Her propensity for singing childhood songs while under stress does not negate her ability to incapacitate men in unprecedented numbers. Indeed, unwanted help, or blatant interference, can land a man in the hospital in record time. Camryn's first assignment, to protect the world's wealthiest man, thrusts her into a world of subterfuge and danger, not to mention a lot of cool toys.

Accompanied by three geriatric retirees, Camryn finds herself on life-size Monopoly board where players risk fortunes. Bad boy Jace Sentori, a man of secrets and a tattooed self-proclamation of Game Master, adds a romantic element that gives danger a whole new meaning. With hot spots implanted under her skin to control F.I.D.O., romantic interludes pose dangerous consequences. But Camryn cannot imagine all the games Jace has ever played, and he never looses.

The first of a series, FROM BOARDWALK WITH LOVE is a playful romantic romp that will while away a lazy afternoon with delighted giggles, not to mention outright guffaws. With her MaryKay pink Cadillac and robotic cat F.I.D.O, Camryn embarks upon a wonderfully comedic journey, determined to prove her independence and self-reliance. Unfortunately, every time she reaches the point of combustion with sexy Jace, circumstances blow them apart again. With lots of teasing, word play, and spoofing, author Nina Bangs creates an eccentric delight readers will adore. FROM BOARDWALK WITH LOVE comes very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A ... on Fun!, January 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: From Boardwalk with Love (Mass Market Paperback)
No one knows what BLISS stands for, but a secret agency of female crime fighters works for me. Look out James Bond. Nina Bangs uses her wicked imagination and produces a kicky twist on the secret agent genre. From a robotic cat to her body parts that you touch at your own risk, Camryn is equipped to save the world. Then sexy Jace Sentori gets in the way. The fun begins and, aided by three geriatric agents who still have what it takes, Camryn and Jace discover that nothing is better than Going to Jail. An eccentric [game] fanatic and wacky characters also help make From Boardwalk with Love laugh out funny and sizzling sexy. Don't miss this newest effort from Nina Bangs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Utter rubbish, June 6, 2003
This review is from: From Boardwalk with Love (Mass Market Paperback)
I didn't think it would be possible to be even more fatuous than Austin Powers, but this author succeeds.

I almost cheered when I found a full English sentence. The books read at about the level of "See Spot Run."

As for amusing, if you like slapstick comedy, fine, if not, forget it.

As for sexy, there are 2 love scenes in the whole of the book you have to wait until page 300 for.

A romance is supposed to be a guy and girl falling in love, not continually tearing around all over the place with absurd gadgets and even more absurd dialogue, and eventually deciding they might as well go to bed together to see how it works out.
