Summary: Move her back to her cabin!
Review: I was a little disappointed with the ending of this book, and I want the secretary back; they can keep Wish. Why change locations? I can only hope that something will return her to her original setting. Perhaps, this will happen.

Summary: Waste of my time!
Review: I've read every Nina Reilly book the O'Shaughnessy sisters have written and eagerly awaited their newest book. What a disappointment! I found myself skimming the pages just to get to the end. How did Nina get so stupid between the last book and this one, i.e. mysteriously "losing" her car keys, leaving her briefcase in the backseat, etc. She makes one poor decision after another. Paul needs no detective skills because information "mysteriously" falls into his lap time and again. The remaining characters, Brandy, Angel, the Cruz's, and the Vangs left me feeling apathetic.
What happened to character development, action, and suspense, as displayed in previous Nina Reilly novels? Hopefully the writers will take their time with the next book, leave out all the boring filler pages, and return our heroine to her previous self.

Summary: The moment every attorney fears most....
Review: If you enjoy legal thrillers, this is one not to miss. Having read every one written by the sisters O'Shaughnessy and being a real Nina Reilly fan, I couldn't wait for this one to arrive. It is an exciting story, with the attorney now as the defendent herself.
I finished it today and now have a year to wait to see what adventures Nina will have now that she moved to Carmel.
You want to read all of the books written by these authors.

Summary: Another Fine Legal Thriller
Review: In this excellent addition to the Nina Reilly series, Nina finds her career and her life threatened by a clever but unknown foe. Stolen files that lead to confidential information being revealed cause clients to call upon the California bar to act against Nina. Aided by her lover and long-time investigator, Paul van Wagoner, and also by her lawyer ex-husband, Jack McIntyre, Nina must defend herself against charges that she is "unfit to practice" law. "Unfit to Practice," like previous books in the series, is a drama that builds from the first page to the last. A wonderfully drawn cast of characters, great courtroom scenes, and a slam-bang climax leave you well-satisfied and waiting to see how Nina will rebuild her life and her career in the next book.

Summary: A MUST read page-turner.
Review: Nina Reilly, attorney and single mom, is in the middle of an ugly custody battle when an unspeakable crime is committed against her. A crime every lawyer fears, very sensitive case files are stolen.
During a powerful storm, Nina forgets to lock her truck, in the morning her truck is gone and so are the files of clients she is currently working on. Among the files is that of Kevin and Lisa Cruz, a custody battle that holds many secrets, some of which lurk in Nina's past.
As Nina prepares for her cases she can't help but fear the worst...her clients inner-most secrets being revealed.
Nina's fears become reality as her clients reputations start being destroyed, and before long people begin to die.
With the help of her ex-husband Jack, and her current boyfriend, private investigator, Paul Wagoner, Nina must defend her reputation and the chance of disbarment, while trying to stop a madman set out to destroy Nina's clients, as well as Nina herself.
'Unfit To Practice' is another great entry in the Nina Reilly series. The carefully constructed plot centers around the missing files but various sub-plots are thrown in to keep readers turning the pages. The plot never becomes confusing or boring, and Nina Reilly is such a genuine character the reader can't help but to feel for her. With never a dull moment 'Unfit To Practice' is a tense page-turner that deserves to be read in one sitting.
Perri O'Shaughnessy (a pen name for two sisters) have been churning out best-sellers for years, and this series just gets stronger with each new novel. While many authors have a hard time juggling various plots in their novels O'Shaughnessy handles it with a steady hand, keeping everything interesting and boiling until you reach the explosive climax.
Fans of fast paced legal thrillers should dive into this one, and then go back and read any of the previous in the series they may have missed.

Summary: Ambitious plotting....
Review: Perri O'Shaughnessy, the entertaining sister team of writers, serve up an especially interesting plot for their Lake Tahoe lawyer-heroine, Nina Reilly. Nina's confronted with a situation that could ruin her for life, and three client cases are commingled with her own downfall, when the client files are stolen.
Nina's love life with her investigator is more settled in this outing, although briefly challenged by her ex-husband. Her three clients are diverse, and the reaction and chain events set off by the loss of the files follow widely divergent paths, as well. It's obvious that Nina is someone's target, but who is her enemy?
4 stars due to the complex and interesting plot, and the unique ending, which leaves the reader guessing what direction the series will take in the future. Not nearly as good in characterization or plot fulfillment as previous Nina Reilly episodes, but the O'Shaughnessy novels are heads and shoulders above most courtroom fiction, and I eagerly await the next one!
