Summary: O'Shaughnessy has come up with an adversary you love to hate
Review: I loved rooting for Nina, the scrappy female attorney who constantly goes up against her male adversary in court (a creep of a lawyer you love to hate.) Great backdrops, colorful characters, and most of all mystery and suspense without the sleaze that other authors feel they must resort to, to sell a book today.

Summary: Wasted time reading this one
Review: I read this book on summer vacation for a great escape. Found it dull, skimming especially through the slow moving trial and the unrealistic thriller/action ending. Too many silly twists, altho to the credit of the authors, there were a lot. I kept comparing this book to John Grisham books while reading it, which I generally enjoy, making it difficult to really get into this too far out book for me.

Summary: A nail-biting page-turner of the first rank
Review: I thought "The Triumph and the Glory" was fantastic, and it IS, but "Breach of Promise" is every bit as suspenseful, fast-paced, and intriguing. Five Stars!!!

Summary: Interesting premise, good leading character, but slow.
Review: I've read all four Nina Reilly books. I thought this had the potential for a great story, but the trial was very erratic and somewhat slow. The pace picks up at the end but its not a very believable chase scene. However, the story still makes good for light summer reading, and Nina Reilly is an enjoyably leading character who always wins but never seems to get ahead.

Summary: The Plot Twists As The Money Grows
Review: In Perry O'Shaughnessy's next novel, Breach of Promise, Nina Reilly takes on Lindy Markov. Lindy is a extremely wealthy woman who has built a multi-million dollar company with her husband, Mike. Mike dumps Lindy for a younger woman, and leaves Lindy with nothing. Lindy hires Nina to help her win half of their assets although legally, Mike does not have to give Lindy a dime, because all assets are in Mike's name alone, and because they actually never married, Lindy hardly stands a chance. Nina has to prove to a jury that Lindy is entitled to half of the $200 million, since Lindy and Mike built the company together and lived their lives as a married couple for years. Nina soon realizes that when that much money is at stake, people will go to extremes, even to kill if that's what it takes. With a combination of secrets, murder, and money, Breach of Promise delivers another suspensful thriller from the O'Shaughnessy's. Can't wait for the next one!!

Summary: Twists and turns abound
Review: Nina Reilly is a complex, interesting, realistic, and likable character. Jeff Riesner is a devious stuffed shirt you love to hate. "Motion to Suppress," the first Nina Reilly book, was very good, and each succeeding book has been slightly better than the one before. I am looking forward to "Acts of Malice."

Summary: Twists and turns abound
Review: These two sisters know how to write. I was impressed with the fast pace and intricacies of the plot. As a reader you're led in one direction and immediately the story twists and turns. Definitely a book to read if you like legal thrillers.

Summary: Wrong, wrong, wrong
Review: This book is wrong in almost everything it says, for example:
In the trial of Mike and Lindy the jury SUPPOSE that Lindy lie when she said that she wanted to marry with Mike, but Nina proof that mike made perjury in middle of the process, and all the jury were against Lindy because she is a liar.
The jury waste three days to take a decision, and then happened a "little" problem and when the judge make another jury they have their decision in three hours.
The worst of all the book, Paul, the boyfriend of Nina, he attacks her on the judgment, when the judgment ends, Paul investigates what happened with that "little" problem in the jury and he knows that if he does that Nina will lose everything she has, why he did that?
At the end of the book, what happened to Mike and Lindy is pathetic, but that Nina still loves Paul even if he left her is more than pathetic.
