Narrative To Books Solomon vs. Lord (Solomon vs. Lord #1)

Even though author Paul Levine doesn't look anywhere nearly old enough to have written for the ABC TV series Moonlighting that aired from 1985 to 1989, this book so reminded me of the interaction between the characters played by Cybill Shepard and Bruce Willis that I actually checked to see if his name is listed anywhere in the writing credits. The biggest difference between the TV show and the book in my mind is that the former pair were partners in a private investigation firm and the two in this book - Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord - are lawyers. Aha, I said to myself - it's also more than a little reminiscent of another more recent TV show, NBC's Harry's Law, starring Kathy Bates (there's even a list of "Solomon's Laws," the first of which is, "When the law doesn't work...work the law"). I looked for Levine's name in the credits of that show as well, but I didn't find it there either. So, I'll say simply that anyone who enjoyed the bickering, sexual innuendos and snarky one-liners on either or both of those shows most likely will love this book - the first of a series of four. The dynamic duo first meet in court when the two are opposing counsel. Lord is totally put off by Solomon's devil-may-care courtroom antics that come close to crossing the ethics line, and he's relentless in his attempts to ruffle the feathers of the newly minted state's attorney whom Solomon considers to be "hot" but way too straight-laced. Needless to say, he's successful - and as a result they both end up in the pokey on contempt charges. Ultimately, mostly thanks to Solomon's badgering, Lord gets fired. In theory, that's not a huge problem since she's engaged to a wealthy but nice (think ho-hum) guy who wants her to join his business. But Lord isn't quite ready to give up the courtroom (nor, given her soon-to-be husband's vegetarian bent, her meat). And by now Solomon is in lust and will do just about anything to convince her she's got a place in his firm - and his bed - so let the games begin. Then, a local millionaire bites the dust, supposedly the victim of sex play with his trophy wife gone wrong. Lord, who knows the now-widow, wants to take the case, and Solomon convinces her to let him help. Meanwhile, Solomon is fighting a battle of his own. A while back, it seems, he "rescued" his druggie sister's young son Bobby, who's been seriously abused and exhibits autistic and savant characteristics (he's a pro at anagrams, for instance). The local powers-that-be want the child put in a place where he can be prodded, poked and tested - and Solomon will do just about anything to keep that from happening. The book follows the murder and custody cases both in and out of court, all the while showcasing the love-hate "relationship" between Solomon and Lord. In spots, the dialog is chuckle-out-loud funny; in a few others, it gets downright silly, prompting me to go with 4 stars instead of 5. Still, it's an easy-to-read romp, and now I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Crit Out Of Books Solomon vs. Lord (Solomon vs. Lord #1)

A truly entertaining book. It's a combination of courtroom drama and murder mystery, among other things. It starts with the rather unconventional lawyer Solomon defending a patently guilty sleazeball client being prosecuted by an Assistant State Attorney, Lord, who just happens to be young, beautiful and unbelievably naive and straight-laced. Solomon plays fast and loose with the law, and manages to thoroughly antagonize his opposite and her politically climbing, egotistical boss in the process

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This legal suspense is the first of the Solomon vs. Lord series, and I know I will be reading them all. I love the back and forth between the two main characters - the dry humor and witticisms are really entertaining and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. But this is a seriously well written legal thriller. The reader becomes invested in the lives of the characters and it made me keep turning pages to see not only what the characters were doing but to see how in the

This book was delightful - a fun read. It didn't take itself too seriously and had hilarious interactions and dialogue between serious Victoria Lord and irreverent Steve Solomon. While the morals of Solomon appeared sketchy initially, his love for his nephew Robby, an autistic savant who he rescued from abuse and was caring for, made him an interesting and sympathetic character. And although Victoria and Steve seemed to be polar opposites with their differences grating on each other, they

Solomon vs Lord is a goodread......No, its a great goodread! A legal, court battle book like no legal book youve ever read. Steve Solomon, a do whatever it takes lawyer and Victoria Lord, a by the book lawyer are at odds over everything, yet together they make a great team. Paul Levines wit fills the book with laugh out loud fun and diverse, provocative, characters create a most entertaining read. Storylines are over the top with a kinky murder trial that ends with an unexpected twist and an

man the author REALLY loves to describe what people are wearing

Total fluff. Very shallow and predictable.
