From Booklist
Second in the Smithson Group (SG-5) series, this novella-length tale focuses on the exploits of Tripp Shaughnessey. He is currently assigned to the SG-5 Manhattan operations center on a stakeout of a diamond merchant's illicit dealings with the international crime syndicate, Spectra IT, and his base of operations is the corner sandwich shop run by Glory Brighton, who fascinates Tripp for reasons he doesn't understand. Using a surveillance feed tapped into Glory's security cameras, he hopes to catch the crooks red-handed, but while he takes a break to nuzzle with Glory in her storeroom, yet another criminal element invades the storefront, taking the customers and employees hostage in order to protect their own diamond dealings. This concise spin-off from The Bane Affair [BKL S 1 04] is the first of a series of interconnected short romances that will follow in successive months (next up is The Samms Agenda), and that will, according to the publisher, eventually answer all burning and unresolved questions.

Product Description
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...

Terrific, but..., Dec 28 2004
By C. Cox "MarineMom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaughnessey Accord (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, Dec 13 2004
By Steph B. "chicprincesspetite" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaughnessey Accord (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.

Another Hot Agent to Love, Dec 13 2004
By Judy "book reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaughnessey Accord (Paperback)
Alison Kent brings another hot and exciting story in The Shaughnessey Accord.
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.
Once they believe the danger is over, Glory and Tripp fulfill their desires. Glory and Tripp are a perfect match of wit and chemistry.
Looking forward to the next book in this steamy series.
