Victoria Lord follows all the rules. Steve Solomon makes up his own.

Steve Solomon is the sharpest lawyer ever to barely graduate from Key West School of Law. Victoria Lord is fresh from Yale, toiling for an ambitious DA, and soon to be married. And Katrina Barksdale is a sexy former figure skater charged with killing her incredibly wealthy, incredibly kinky husband. With all three tangled in Miami's steamiest trial of the century, the case is sure to make sparks fly, headlines scream—and opposites attract.

Surrounded by crooks, con men, and a cast of colorful characters, Steve Solomon and Vickie Lord must solve the crime before they end up in ruin, in jail—or, worse, in bed.

What the critics say

“Remarkably fresh and original, with characters you can’t help loving and sparkling dialogue that echoes the Hepburn-Tracy screwball comedies.”

(Chicago Sun-Times)

“Authentic dialogue, rich characterizations, complicated relationships and even pathos bolster Solomon vs. Lord. Unique plot twists and well-placed humor helps, too.”

(Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel)

“A funny, fast-paced legal thriller…Levine keeps things fresh by injecting the story with interesting subplots and a full roster of quirky, lovable characters…the barbed dialogue that flies between them makes for some genuine laugh-out-loud moments.”

(Publishers Weekly)

“Reader Lane tackles all the voices and keeps the action edge of the seat. His multi-voiced reading captures the genius in this with appropriate tone and pace.”

(Kliatt)

“Christopher Lane..did a magnificent job…Levine’s humor combined with Lane’s delivery of it was rip-roaring funny…He was able to give unique life to every character…and there was never any over-dramatization. Lane is a great narrator and I think he was an excellent match for this novel.”

Do you remember that Bruce Willis/Cybill Sheppard Detective Agency show from the late 80s? Two smart, funny, attractive people solving crimes while resisting crazy sexual attraction and spouting humorous dialogue. This Paul Levine book is like that on steroids: the crime is erotic/violent (involving a death during a BDSM session), the sexual tension between Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord approaches the explicit & is spicy/arousing, and the humor is expletive-filled & laugh-out-loud ribald.
The tongue-in-cheek approach is occasionally heavy-handed and the characters are unrealistically cartoonish-sexy, but the book is a ton of fun.

Fortuitously for audiobook listeners: Reader Christopher Lane turns in a straight-up brilliant performance reading the book, too. True, he's occasionally mechanical - sounding like someone reading a text lying open on his lap - but his diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting are spot on, and he actually sings some dialogue.. demonstrating impressive dedication to the project.

In toto, this first book in the 'Solomon vs. Lord' series rates 8.5 stars out of 10. It was a no-brainer download when it was on the 'Plus' menu.. in fact, it's worth a Credit for anyone looking for Romantic Comedy with a legal thriller twist.

Reminded me of 'Moonlighting'

Laugh out loud f'n good. Christopher Lane at his absolute best. Couldn't put down. Fell in love with Bobby. Want to read Levine's next book but the narrator gets terrible reviews. I loved this book so much, that I don't want the next one to ruin my enjoyment of this one. Should of stayed with Christopher Lane. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

So F'n Good!
