Book Review: Just shaking my head...
Summary: 2 Stars

Contains spoilers - don't ready if you don't want to know!!!

This is the second book in the Sisterhood series. I had a hard time finishing this one. I'm not even sure why I read it, though somehow I'm sure I will read the next ones too. I thought it was really dumb and so far-fetched. This story revolves around, Julia, a physician, who is married to a politician. He has had many affairs and unknowingly infects Julia with HIV/AIDS. The Sisterhood comes together to get revenge on him, ultimately on the night he is to be announced as the vice-presidential candidate. At the same time, the ladies are also getting revenge on a wealthy family who owns several shady HMOs. The family is trying hard unsuccessfully to get into Washington DC high society.

So many plot holes. First of all, the next woman to be avenged is supposed to be Alexis but she backs out in the first few pages, stating she isn't ready to do it yet. Period. End of story, never really expanded on, and left hanging. With the help of Charles, they plan several media leaks to hurt Julia's husband. Just plain dumb. Julia has known she has had HIV for awhile but never once mentioned it to her husband? What about the other women he slept with??? The night of the political announcement, they whisk her husband along with the HMO family out of the country, hypnotize them, and put in some work camp in some other country. So no one ever thinks to look for them - they are never missed? Again, just plain dumb. Reading this book, I couldn't care less what happens to any of them as these women are just plain silly and somehow above the law thanks to Charles and all his contacts. Again, the problems with Nikki's DA boyfriend are there and she ends up secretly giving them grant money at the end from the accounts of the HMO family, just so they can keep an eye on him and his FBI friend that are spying on these ladies. Whatever.

I just didn't enjoy this book and can't recommend it at all. Sorry!

Summary of Payback (Zebra Romance)

The second in the exhilarating Sisterhood series From the outside, it looks like Julia Webster lives a normal, happy existence. A highly successful plastic surgeon, she is married to a senator very much on his way up Capitol Hill, and lives in a lovely house in Georgetown. But appearances can be deceptive, as Julia knows only too well. She has long suspected her husband's past is not quite as innocent as he'd like the American public to believe. And when he starts cheating on her, with disastrous consequences for herself and her career, she decides the time has come to teach him a lesson. When the Sisterhood, the closest thing Julia has to a family, picks her case as their next mission, it seems like the perfect time to show the world exactly what her philandering husband's lies and deceit have achieved.
