"Serial dater and greeting card artist" Wollie Shelley has been offered a wacky job. Wackier than usual. Three foreign celebrities are in need of "social coaching." She turns the job down but then the FBI makes her an offer she "can't refuse" which involves taking the social coaching job. She is to go undercover at MediaRex, a media-training company suspected of video piracy. The FBI are investigating the company but haven't been able to infiltrate one of their agents so Wollie is "it."
Her job at the company is to educate Boris, Felix, and Stasik in the ways of American dating. The trio are quite odd. Boris is a knife-carrying diet book author, Felix a Soviet Country and Western singer, and Stasik, a former hitman turned middleweight boxer. Wollie discovers the previous "social coach" died a mysterious and violent death.
I am a big fan of the author's and I love this series! It's an exciting blend of thrills and laughter. This is said to be the last book in the series. I don't know why. I certainly would enjoy more madcap adventures with Wollie.
Other titles in this series are DATING DEAD MEN, DATING IS MURDER, and DEAD EX.
