    Synopsis

    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 temination sudden.

    Camryn doubts 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 try to 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.

    Booklist

    ...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.

    December 02, 2003: This book was the worst!!!! I could'nt even get throught the whole thing, and I love books. Th plot was so mish mashed it made no sense at all. the characters were so one dimensional that it was impossible to relate to them at all. I would give this book zero stars it that was possible.

    January 08, 2003: Look out James Bond, here comes B.L.I.S.S.! Camryn has looks, intellect, and everything a woman could want, except a man. She has the unfortunate psychic talent of causing terrble diseaster to befall any man who tries to protect her or manage her life. Fortunately, super secret spy agency, B.L.I.S.S. finds that talent an assett, and recruits her into their organization. Camryn's first case is, shall we say, a doozy. She is sent to an exotic island to protect the world's richest man from the evil machinations of enemy agents of L.O.V.E.R., who has sent its most deadly killer, ZED to take out the Monopoly (as in boardgame) obsessed zillionaire. To assist her, Camryn has three retired agents, a pink Caddy, a killer (literally) warddrobe, and an ultimate weapon disguised as a cat named F.I.D.O, aka Meathead. Making life even more difficult is the fact that her prime suspect is Jace, the Gamemaster of the island. Jace definitely has his own agenda, but is it a sinister one? ***** Laugh out loud fun awaits the reader in this novel that stretches the imagination and is one of the most innovative books of the past few months. You will never know what to expect next when you open the pages of FROM THE BOARDWALK .... Of course, from the ever fun Ms. Bangs, how could you not have a merry time? *****
