When someone screams Tripp Shaughnessey's name, it's usually a woman in the throes of passion or one who's just caught him with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar. Sometimes it's both. Tripp is sarcastic, fun loving, and funny, with a habit of seducing every woman he says hello to. But the one who really gets him hot and bothered is Glory Brighton, the curvaceous owner of his favourite sandwich shop. The nonstop banter between Glory and Tripp has been leading up to a full-body kiss in the back storeroom. And that's just where they are when all hell breaks loose. Glory's past includes some very bad men connected to Spectra, men convinced she may have important intel hidden in her place. Now, with the shop under siege, and gunmen holding customers hostage, Tripp shows Glory his true colours: He's no sweet, rumpled "engineer" from the Smithson Group, but a well-trained, hardcore covert op whose easy-going rep is about to be put to the test...

The Shaughnessey Accord is the second story in a series about 5 special operatives called The Smithson Group - SG5. The story stands alone, but it was such a good read that it made me rush to order the rest of them! This is a super fast-paced story, a hot erotic romance and edgy crime thriller all wrapped in one. Tripp Shaughnessey is attracted to Glory Brighton, the woman who runs the sandwich shop he has under surveillance, and Glory just about hits meltdown point every time she sees Tripp. The sexual tension between these two is electric! They are just getting to grips with each other (you might need a fan at this point, it is waaaay hot) when the building is put under siege. The increasing danger ratchets up the tension as well as the pace of the unfolding romance.
Alison Kent is a mistress of erotic romance with a great reputation for hot reads, but her SG5 series is something else. Read the book when you need to be to totally distracted - but don't expect to be able to put it down until you get to the end.

Terrific, but...
28 Dec 2004
By C. Cox
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I love Alison Kent and she writes the best loves scenes bar none. And she writes great characters as well. Tripp was..well, a trip. The Shaughnessey Accord is lively, clever, suspenseful, sexy and fun, but when I say it's too short, I don't just mean I want more. (which I do) It is novella length which means when it comes in an oversized book it looks really thin. And quite a bit of that is previews at the end. The story was great but it just kind of...stopped. There seemed to be much more here that needed to be told. I doubt it will be rehashed in upcoming books. And the biggest complaint is that at 7.99 I really don't see the value I'm accustomed too. I expect a thick meaty book for that price and this, I'm sorry to say, was just overpriced. It still gets 4 stars because I love what's there... just be warned.

The Shaughnessey Accord
14 Dec 2004
By Steph B.
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is the second episode in Alison Kent's tantalizing 5 part series. In THE SHAUGHNESSEY ACCORD, we meet Tripp Shaughnessey, the quirky jokester of SG-5.
Tripp is positioned in Manhattan, on a 24 hour watch of the supposed efforts of a diamond merchant's unlawful commerce with none other than the enemy Spectra IT. His stakeout spot -- the corner sandwich shop that the SG-5 men frequent for lunch. The owner of the shop, Glory Brighton, has had Tripp's attention for awhile, and he doesn't understand what it is about her that makes him weak in the knees. From his station he has complete surveillance of the ins and outs of the shop, hoping to nail the crooks as they attempt to do their dirty work.
The minute he decides to take a break, and works up the nerve to go and see Glory, disaster strikes. Good guy, right place, wrong time. While he flirts and gets to know her in ways that make the both of them hotter than a tea kettle, the criminals that he is supposed to be keeping a watchful eye on, sneak their way in through the front and hold all the customers and employees hostage.
Unbeknownst to the criminals for the latter part of their malevolence, Tripp manages to keep Glory and himself secure for some time and send out a code to the men of SG-5. But their refuge is quickly stripped away when, Danh Vuong, the chief of the crime committing thugs, discovers them and binds them up, making sure that their plans flow accordingly.
Through this ordeal, Tripp and Glory get to know each other better, thus resulting in an action packed love story.
Though I feel Tripp and Glory's love story wasn't fleshed out as much as I would have liked it to be. I still enjoyed the book, and am anxiously awaiting my third installment to come in - The Samms Agenda. This series just keeps getting better and better.

SG-5 Agent Tripp Shaughnessey is a man all women love and the bad guys fear. He has had the hots for sandwich shop owner Glory Brighton for months now. He comes across her in her storeroom and makes his move.
Glory Brighton hasn't had the best of luck with men. She has lusted after the funny and sexy engineer from the offices above her store. Just as Glory decides to tempt Tripp all hell breaks out in her store.
Tripp, Glory finds out is more then what he appears to be on the surface. She must put her trust in him to survive.

Looking forward to the next book in this steamy series.
