I know more traditional women would have problems when Nina Reilly works at the expense of her kid or shoulders all the burden of her choices but I love that about her. I love when she looks at Paul, knowing full well she could be wrong and essentially tells him to butt out, it's her case. Right or wrong, she owns it and she won't cede one tiny centimeter of control to anyone, male or female.
I wish more heroines were feminists and not traditionalists. Bossy, independent Nina still More...

5 stars for excellent writing, superb plot, truth-to-life characters, and court room drama.
Reading this book is like watching a movie or TV series, this is the second book I've read from this author and it made me want to buy more of her work. Although there was a time I predicted the outcome, I was surprised with the results. My expectations about this book were high, and this story just kicked ass.
The events of this book wouldn't have been colorful without the character More...

In part it may have been the reader, but overall I found the whole case hard to buy into from a legal standpoint and the relationship between the main character and her son, a relationship which played a central role in the story, totally lacking in depth. I have no idea why I stuck with this one to the end!

I did not very much enjoy reading this book. The story was ok, but it was the writing style that was hard getting used to. Something about the structure of the dialogue and never being sure which character was actually speaking during a conversation. Strange.

Very Good; continuing character: Nina Reilly; film maker who was looking into disappearaces of girls is murdered; is it the recently returned ex-husband (who's also father of Reilly's child) or someone trying to hide the info about the prior disappearance

Pretty good plot. Attorney Nina finds herself defending a crazy-ass filmmaker who made a documentary about a missing teen girl. The father of Nina's young son (again, the single female attorney with a young son) also turns up and is somehow in the mix with the filmmaker. Good plot. Characters, even the kid, are not too annoying (unless they are supposed to be - the filmmaker). I enjoyed the book.

Tis is my favorite so far of the books I've read by these authors. I couldn't put it down, it kept me captivated till the very end.

This is a sophomore effort from the two sisters, and it somewhat is evident of that. The story is melodramatic, at times cheesy, and littered with clichés. The plot twist was interesting, however. The pacing of the novel could have improved from the debut, but that is forgivable; it kept my interest. The ending felt as though the authors couldn’t think of anything else but stoop to a soap opera tactic to end on a ‘cliff hanger’ just to keep the readers ‘tuned’ in for the next installment of

A fun, complex legal thriller. Nina Reilly faces her fears after being shot in the courtroom. Determined to stick to civil trials, she takes on a very warped client, who ends up murdered. The authors do an interesting job of portraying the small town, resort, casino town that is Tahoe. They also give us some fun as we watch Nina try to balance her romantic life.

If you ever have loved South Lake Tahoe, read these books. Start with the first in the series though, the charachter development over the years, not to mention the opening and closing of stores etc, that you will remember is excellant. I read one after the other until I was so sick of them I had to go up to Tahoe and Hike!!!!! Can't wait to get my hands on the new one.

Fun to read, had to find out what happened next and stayed up too late reading a few nights. I couldn't figure out who dunnit until she told me, but on the way to the big reveal there were quite a few cliches and a few things that made me roll my eyes. The whole series, though, is great fun and I'll read more of them when I don't want to work too hard at the reading.
