Customer Reviews

Great book!

I love this series, especially the fact that many of the unique characters carry forward into each book! Angela is not having a good time! Her cheating ex-fiance left her to move to London with his new girlfriend, her strange parents have just moved back to town and she has to argue a case against annoying (but gorgeous) John Franco. John isn't having a swell time either. His grandmother keeps getting arrested, his family is mad at him for representing clients who are fighting against his own family and he has to argue a case against annoying (but gorgeous) Angela DeNero. Needless to say, sparks fly, in all kind of ways! Don't know how many times I've woken my husband when laughing out loud through these books! I lend all the books of this series to friends and we pass them around. They always come back dog-eared and this won't be any exception! Millie Criswell has done it again!

What a treat

This was the best Millie Criswell novel I've ever read and I had a wonderful savoring each and every page. The characters are just so easy to love and Angela captured my heart from page one. She's definitely more than just a pretty face. Angela has it all but discovers a little surprise left from her previous relationship which ended on a pretty sour note and through it all it Angela perseveres one-step at a time. Her first encounter with fellow attorney John Franco sizzles from the moment they meet again. Little does Angela know but John has had a thing for her since their high school days and nothing -- and I mean nothing is gonna stand in his way to get her.I believe you'll enjoy this novel as it's filled with romance and on top of several emotional upheavals along the way, Angela and John overcome it all. Having the characters back from the previous "Mary" and "Annie" stories is an additional pleasure. Anyway this is one novel deemed to knock your socks off cause once you pick it -- you won't be able to put it down. Enjoy!

Don't miss The Trials of Angela!

Millie Criswell gives us a return trip to Baltimore's Little Italy with her new book, THE TRIALS OF ANGELA. Angela DeNero and John Franco are attorneys on opposite sides of a custody trial. John is the ultimate hero and Angela is absolutely the sweetest heroine ever. This delightful book kept me riveted to the pages from the start, to the point that when I misplaced my first copy, I had to rush out and buy a second --- I could not wait any longer to finish the story! With something for everyone, THE TRIALS OF ANGELA is just plain good fun! Millie Criswell has outdone herself, introducing innovative new plot lines and exploring life's realities in her amusing and original style, wrapped up in an excellently crafted story. The sometimes-quirky characters show us how to sweeten the sour times of our lives and live on the wild side. A funny book that will have you gasping at its audacity and doubled up in laughter as the story takes you on a roller coaster ride behind the closed doors of everyday people like you and I. The third book in Ms. Criswell's Little Italy series, THE TRIALS OF ANGELA is a wonderful story, guaranteed to be a keeper, and one that you will read again and again.

I don't know how she does it!

Millie Criswell just gets better and better. In "The Trials of Angela," Ms. Criswell has done the impossible--she has made two lawyers charming and irresistible.* With characters like Angela's cross-dressing father and John's shoplifting grandmother, this book is laugh-out-loud-pee-your-pants funny. The chemistry between Angela and John isn't bad either. Millie Criswell fans will not be disappointed with her latest release. The real disappointment is waiting for the release of Ms. Criswell's next book, "Mad About Mia." *Because I am a lawyer, I feel I've earned the right to laugh at my profession. That is also why I don't take personally the lawyer jokes printed at the beginning of each chapter.

Millie Criswell Does It Again!

Fans of Millie Criswell will not be disappointed with her latest Little Italy story, The Trials of Angela. Ms. Criswell outdid herself with this one! From the very first chapter when Grandma Flora gets arrested for shoplifting, this book is loaded with laughs and romance! It has a cast of some of the most zany characters you'll ever meet in a romance novel, from Angela's cross-dressing Dad, to her bulldozer operator sister. The hero, John Franco, is an absolute gem. I read this entire book in one day, I could not put it down. It grabbed me from the very first page and did not let up through the very last paragraph. Don't miss this gem of a story, you will not be disappointed. My only disappointment is having to wait until next March to read Mia's story!
