Buzz, currently Speaker of the House, fears the scandal will scupper his presidential plans, and intends to make life extremely difficult for Liviniawith the Chessmens help. For too long, the Chessmen have believed themselves above the law they pretend to serve, but theres no statute of limitations on the Sisterhoods particular brand of justiceor their loyalty . . .
Also read book 1 in Men of the Sisterhood Double Down.
I ran into a bit of trouble with the story sequences between the two series; maybe the author needs to hire those two GOT geeks who integrated the chapters of #4 & #5 to follow the timeline.
I kind of feel like there is a missing book out there that will fill in the gaps. Anyway, somewhere in the middle of the two series, Jack and Nikki acquire a German Shephard dog that is frighteningly smart. I love Cyrus!!!
The menfolk are stepping out of the pages of #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels beloved Sisterhood series and into the spotlight
After years of standing by their women, the Sisterhoods significant others have also become loyal friends. And now Jack Emery, Nikkis husband, has enlisted Ted, Joe, Jay, Bert, Dennis, and Abner to form a top-secret organization known as BOLO Consultants.
Jack has two missions in mind. The first: offering some behind-the-scenes help to Nikkis law firm as they take on the all-powerful Andover Pharmaceuticals. Andovers anti-leukemia drug causes terrible side effects in young patients, but a class-action suit seems doomed to fail. BOLO Consultants have a prescription to cure that. Meanwhile, Virginias lieutenant governor has a sideline as a slum landlord, and his impoverished tenants are suffering. Tyler Sandford believes his status puts him above the law. But when the Sisterhood and their allies decide to get involved, no one is beyond the reach of true justice
This one is set during the Christmas season and one of the stories really ties in t the holiday spirit.
Just when you think Ms Michaels can't get more inventive with the mission and the doleing out of justice, she comes up with a new one. In her blog she does say that her fans keep her supplied with plot and punishment ideas.
