Jennifer Blake is a pseudonym for romance novelist, Patricia Maxwell. I had some old "Good Housekeeping"magazines around and took some on a recent vacation to read then recycle. I always looked forward to the arrival of "Good Housekeeping" because they would have a novel of the month that I looked forward to reading. When they stopped that practice, I was less interested in a subscription.
The novel of the month in the June 1991 issue was "Behind The Scenes" authored by Jennifer Blake and was from the book, "Joy and Anger," which was published in 1991. Although I prefer mysteries over romances, this was a combination of both so I actually enjoyed the story. The heroine is Julie Bullard who is directing a movie that is being shot in a Louisiana swamp. When a stunt guy is killed in one of the scenes, her boss and fiance sends out her dad, Bull, to help her out -- a fact she resents. When her stunt guy's best friend, Rey, offers to take his place doing the movie stunts, she agrees reluctantly. She wonders what he's up to because he's a retired federal agent who has enough money of his own that he never has to work again so why would he opt to do the stunts in her movie? Little does Julie know that there is more going on on her set than making a movie and that is putting her and others involved in making this movie in danger. So.....there is romance in this story but also a mystery to solve - two of my favorite combinations! pazt
