Brooke Miller, the overly imaginative and hilarious
character from SCOT ON THE ROCKS, is back and things have
gotten a little hectic for her. She's dealing with the
stress of planning the wedding of a lifetime with her
close-to-perfect fiancé, Jack. That includes dealing with
family and future in-laws (more wine, please!), finding the
perfect wedding dress (oh boy!), and maintaining all the
duties required of life (laundry, dishes, and grocery
shopping, yuk!). But her work life, as a new attorney at
Smith, Goldberg, and Reede, presents her with an amazing
opportunity to take on the biggest case of her life. The
only trouble occurs when Brooke realizes that the opposing
attorney is none other than Jack, her own fiancé! Things get
out of control until Brooke has to start to question what's
more important, her career or her personal life.
Who didn't love Brenda Janowitz's brilliant debut novel,
SCOT ON THE ROCKS? Of course, the tricky question that every
author has to face is: What next? Her second novel, JACK
WITH A TWIST, is nothing less than stellar. It's a great
read straight from the start and you don't need to read the
first book to get into it. The dilemmas and situations that
these characters get into are laugh-out-loud funny. I also
love the classic Hollywood style that appears in certain
situations (think like Katherine and Audrey Hepburn-hip).
As I was a recent bride, the humor in JACK WITH A TWIST
helped me to find the humor in my nightmare in-laws and my
less than perfect wedding. In fact, I just gave this book as
a gift to a good friend of mine that just got married last
week. Every bride needs to be reminded that weddings are
crazy! What else can I say? Get this book, read it, and love
it!
A little
pre-wedding anxiety is normal for every bride, and Manhattan
attorney Brooke Miller isn't worried. She's got the loving
support of the world's greatest guy, so planning her
nuptials should be a piece of cake.
But that was
yesterday.
Today, Brooke's landed her first big case and
has just discovered that the opposing attorney is none other
than her fiance, Jack. But that's okay. These two
professionals aren't going to let a little courtroom
sparring get their legal briefs in a bunch. Right? Wrong!
Now Jack's pulling every dirty trick in the law books, and
Brooke's starting to suspect that maybe he isn't the man she
thought he was. Warring with her fiance at work and at
home, Brooke realizes that she'll have to choose between the
case of her life, or actually having a life.
