In answer to the thread's title, no I don't read romance novels, but this books title and cover really caught my attention at Barnes and Noble tonight. I doubt I'll buy it, but I wonder how many in their target audience get the joke.

Looks like an interesting read. Even the cover screams Dr. No.

Interesting indeed.

There appears to be a companion novel called From Boardwalk With Love, by a different author and about a diferent agent, but from the same organisation, B.L.I.S.S.

I most likely won't read these, but there could be a vague reason to include them in the Bond collection under "misc" for the titles alone.

Nice pick up there, Neil.

Wasn't Dr. Yes one of Maxwell Smart's villans from the old Get Smart series? I still have this quote rolling around in my head:

"You dare say "No" to Dr. Yes?"
