I was captivated by Tillie, Heller and the Heller's family. I am so glad that I knew going in that it was a series. The book is a just for fun read, but I couldn't imaging not getting to know these people better. JD Nixon writes fascinatingly unique stories with characters that become real. I was hooked on this story even before I decided whether or not I liked it; the writing just grabbed me. I love the male characters and Tilly's developing relationships with them. 
 Tillie, an unsuccessful actress, is just looking for a way to pay rent without having to sleep with her sleazy landlord when she applies for a position at Heller's. Her interview from arrival to the end is a perfect example of the "trouble magnet" that one of the associates labels her. 
 Although she is hired in aclient relations position, Tillie soon moves into the security side of the business as a security escort since she is not licensed to be a bodyguard. Although she doesn't pay much attention to the warnings that the job isn't as glamorous as most people imagine, it doesn't take long before she discovers that truth for herself. Some of the clients are nice and some of the are just plain nuts. Tilly has a lot to learn, but she is open for it. 
 Heller himself frustrates me even as I drool. It is obvious he is fascinated with Tillie, but he doesn't really know what to make of her or how to show her that she matters. Some of his reactions to her are the bests clue to his hidden background. The family he has created of emotionally damage "lost boys" tells more about him than he wants to show, maybe more than even he understands.
