In the North Carolina mountains, investigative reporter Drucilla Logan hikes into the forest in order to visit research chemist Dr. Peel, who has allegedly developed an aphrodisiac. The highly ethical Drucilla wants an exclusive on Dr. Peel and his find. Also stalking the area is her enemy, journalist Pierce Mountcastle, whose morality allows him to do anything to attain a story. Pierce and Drucilla once shared a night of lovemaking until he stole her article. Both turn for advice by cell phone to their mutual friend Deborah Gilroy. Though the two reporters love one another, their varying approach to journalism leaves little chance of a permanent relationship forming.As usual, the Duets series continues to provide first rate entertainment with two wonderful novels for the price of one book. Both tales are humorous, stand alone, and would be worth reading in single book form. The lead couples are warm and enchanting. The story lines are jocular yet romantic. Liz Ireland and Susan MacLand will gain new fans wanting more romantic comedy from these skillful authors. Harriet Klausner
