Review: Responding to the apparent lack of concern when a young black kid is murdered, report Lane Montgomery decides to write a little follow up article about him.

They still have feelings for each other and despite their professional roles as adversaries, they cannot deny their mutual desire. Both of the murder investigations they are investigating seem to have more in common than they initially thought, but who will scoop the big story first? "She Scoops to Conquer" is a fun and sexy romantic thriller in what is hoped is just the beginning of a new series.

Review: Robin Brandeis is an Louisville, Kentucky native. She currently lives and writes in Atlanta, Georgia. She has fond memories of summer days with her grandparents on Kentucky farms.

Lane Montgomery is your typical journalist. She lives on a shoestring, is a champion of the underdog, and decides to write a feature story on a young Afro-American teenager who is found murdered. She is also madly in love with Ann Alexander, who works for a rival newspaper. Ann's newspaper is into yellow journalism, featuring gory photographs and surface reporting.

But Ann herself is a dish who keeps crashing into Lane's universe as she begins to track a tangled web of murder and drugs. In the meantime, Lane's character provides some humorous and erotic insights into the world of lesbian dating:

"Although Mindy came across with a great image-however peculiar, with the movie star look alike thing and all-that's all she had. Other women seemed to have figured out the same thing. It took me three dates to realize that Mindy was all image and no substance. I'm no psychologist, but I suspected the actress imitation thing sprung out of the fact that Mindy Pincher had no idea who Mindy Pincher was."

She Scoops to Conquer is a very savvy, witty, and enjoyable murder mystery. Lane Montgomery is a self-deprecating beauty who genuinely has no idea how gorgeous she is. She possesses a natural femininity that constantly surprises in a very positive way. The plot moves right along with urgency, because there are children out there being killed by horrible drug pushers who have set themselves up as icons in the community. Lane's mission is to write her article, save the child, and get the girl, after she has scooped her.

Robin Brandeis is a talented writer who knows how to hold her audience. She is innovative, intelligent, and ribald. Watch out world, this is a totally new take on the war of the sexes. An entertaining read, with adult sex and ragtag situations.
