  "He’s given his father such relentless cause to turn in his grave they might well have buried him in a rotisserie grill."  
  When misanthropic London food critic Marcus Tuckwell swears to write the foulest review of all time in an attempt to resurrect his flatlining career, the last thing he expects is to be met with life-affirming kindness and humanity by its intended target.  
  From the overcooked mind of funnyman Hughie Shepherd-Cross comes a pitch-black satire skewering London's restaurant critics and serving them their own arses under a hot cloche. Arrive in a taxi, leave in a hearse.

  "Finally the muse has smiled upon me. My god the girl’s been coy. But… food of this quality. A chef of this fragility. The stars have aligned, my friend. The stars are aligned. Look, I guess what I’m trying to say is, soon there’ll be a nice chef-sized hole in the graveyard across the road. Vacancy for a cook..."

  Kevin Mallory is a Customer Assistance Representative for a cable company. He keeps his customers on hold, his supervisor on the run and his female nemesis on ice, but a new friend just might change his perspective. 
  Lilly has supported herself since high school with just a little help from her only living relative, her alcoholic older brother. She runs a small non-profit housing agency while McFadden, her supervisor and director of the agency, travels around the country on work -- and also on play. 
  Lilly decides, based on Mallory's boorish advances, that he is in need of sex addiction therapy. She wants to help him because he has led her to believe, falsely, that he has saved her brother's job. He goes in the wrong door in the church basement and accidentally joins the Healing Hearts Therapy Group instead. 
  Zach, Lilly's charming, gregarious, self-satisfied boyfriend, outrages her by sharing their private conversations with all their friends and egging them on to put pressure on her to marry him. She meets Selby, a humble policeman, through Mallory, and is immediately attracted to him. They meet at first at the shooting range, where she impresses him with her maturity and spirit. When she finds out McFadden has been embezzling funds, Zack implores her not to report it. Their love life begins to suffer from their disagreement, as well as from her growing attraction to Selby. She takes Selby's advice and tells her boss she must report him, endangering her own career as well as her relationship with Zach. 
  In an attempt to save Lilly's job, Mallory reverts to his old habit of impersonating an attorney in order to blackmail McFadden.

  I'm pushing thirty. 
  Anndd . . . my career sucks. 
  On top of all that, my elderly although well-meaning landlady has made it her life's mission to make sure I walk down the aisle. But this time - she's gone too far! She rented the other side of my duplex to a guy she claims is hot eye candy, and get this: he has his own business! 
  Yep! He is 'The Bug Guy - Licensed to Kill.' 
  He and I did not get off on the right foot for a slew of reasons. But then - my 30th birthday bash happened and in a rare departure from my normal behavior, I totally lost all social inhibitions (with the help of tequila) and awoke to . . . total confusion! Did I mention I was totally naked and The Bug Guy's tee shirt was under my bed? 
  Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder - well, I was proven oh-so-wrong!
