Kept imagining movie stars playing ther characters in my head. DEfinitely, Donald Sutherland was the Father. Solomon, maybe Ben Affleck and Victoria Lord, maybe Angelina Jolie? Anyway, perhaps if the plot is richer, they can make a movie.”

Yes | No“Solomon vs. Lord is a lively combination of legal thriller, romantic suspense, and comedy. The mystery isn't memorable, but the characters have surprising depths, the repartee is crisp, and I laughed out loud. I wish more books had such deft dialogue.
The mystery is a mere backdrop to Steve and Victoria. However, Steve and Victoria carry the story well. They don't fall into easy caricatures or gender roles, and their interactions are both funny and sincere. While I’d love a more intriguing mystery and less slapstick, it’s a lot of fun to read and I'll look for the rest of the series.

“Victoria Lord has never met a man more irritating. The normally put together lawyer sits in a jail cell with a contempt of court ruling all because of Steve Solomon, his taunting, and his ability to get her hopping mad. How dare he give her advice about how to become a better lawyer when he can't keep himself out of jail. A strange twist of fate, one very bizarre murder trial, one custody battle, and a new outlook will either destroy Victoria's career or give her the life she's always wanted. One thing is for sure, Victoria's life is never going to be the same.
Solomon vs. Lord contains a number of sub-stories and mini-plots that add to the brilliance and depth of the main story. The events surrounding the murder trial are downright hilarious yet the characters have to build a case out of almost no evidence which creates a lot of tension and frustration. The side story about Steve's nephew is touching and inspirational despite it's horrific nature showing a side that no one would have guessed that Steve Solomon could possess. Victoria has her own stories and her own issues particularly with her vegetable obsessed fiancée.
