40. Sisterhood 27 "Crash & Burn"
Sat Jan 22, 2022, 02:28 AM
Jan 2022

The women of the Sisterhood are united by their mission to help those unable to help themselves. But now they’ve encountered opponents who share a unique bond of their own. The law firm of Queen, King, Bishop & Rook—the Chessmen—has been a formidable force in Washington, D.C., for decades. And Sisterhood member Nikki Quinn’s new case has made her their prime target.

Nikki has agreed to represent Livinia Lambert as she files for divorce from her domineering, greedy husband, Wilson “Buzz” Lambert. Buzz, currently Speaker of the House, fears the scandal will scupper his presidential plans, and intends to make life extremely difficult for Livinia—with the Chessmen’s help. For too long, the Chessmen have believed themselves above the law they pretend to serve, but there’s no statute of limitations on the Sisterhood’s particular brand of justice—or 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 Sisterhood’s significant others have also become loyal friends. And now Jack Emery, Nikki’s 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 Nikki’s law firm as they take on the all-powerful Andover Pharmaceuticals. Andover’s 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, Virginia’s 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.
