Several of the characters were over-the-top quirky to the point of cartoonish. Gave up at about 60% because I just didn’t care what happened. ( ) What do you get when you mix beautiful people, family secrets, and a yacht washed up on Sunset Key with a hundred grand in cash and a dying man? If you're Steve Soloman, you see a case that can get Solomon & Lord off the ground. If you're Victoria Lord, you see a golden opportunity to go out on your own. With her uncle a murder suspect and her hunky ex-boyfriend back in the picture, Victoria is pushing to take control as Solomon struggles to keep from losing it. As an explosive trial looms, they're fighting against time, the law, and each other to expose a killer who came to paradise, and hasn't left.

I finished this book two weeks ago, unfortunatly my computer was being held hostage by a 5 day house guest who turned into a 14 day house guest. As such, this book isn't very fresh in my mind any more so I will just quickly sum up what I liked and what I didn't. What I liked. 1. Steve Solomon - I'm in love with him he's definitely one of my favourite characters ever. 2. The Plot - The plot was quick paced and fascinating. Most books about lawyers bore me but I love to see how what kind of unorthodox methods Steve is going to use to get his client off the hook. 3. Steve Solomon - I want to marry him. Oops, did I mention him already?? What I didn't like. 1. Victoria - what the hell does Steve see in this woman?? I can't stand to be around up tight people in real life and I don't want to read about them as a heroine in my books. I would much prefer if Victoria had remained a prosecution lawyer or even a partner but the two had never got into an actual relationship. She is uptight, bitchy and totally takes Steve for granted. I don't understand why she is always holding the upper card in the relationship she should be thanking her lucky stars that she found such a decent guy but no she's constantly whining about everything he does and questioning if she should even be with him while fantasizing about her ex and resenting Steve. Gah - obviously she's touched a nerve. Either way the book was great I love Steve Solomon and I hate Victoria Lord. The second book of the series starts with a flying yacht and ends with an exploding boat. Victoria is happy to be reuniting with her Uncle Grif, a friend of her parents. But she quickly turns from family friend to family lawyer when he is accused of murder. The trial brings her back in contact with his son, her sweetheart from childhood, the man both families thought she might marry. Steve instantly loathes the gorgeous athletic man from her past. The tension of the past and the trial combine to create a rift between them, both professionally and personally. The suspense builds as Victoria attempts to solve both the mystery of the murder and mysteries from her past, without the help of Solomon. Paul Levine has made this one as much about the dynamics of family and the effects of the past as a legal mystery. Steve tried to find out why his father was removed as a judge many years ago while Victoria delves into the secrets behind her father's suicide. Each discovers that the truth is not always the best answer. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
