A rare French coin, the unlucky artist, Gabriela Martinez, who finds it, and the reluctant CIA operative, Richard Harrison, who gets sent to protect her. And when the psychological games to terrorize Gabriela escalate, Richard must find a solution, if not, it may be too late for them both. Set in the French Riviera, The Coin is a romantic suspense that Kirkus Indie Review declared "a suspenseful, sexy romantic thriller. A page-turner."
Loved the book! Each character helps to pull the plot in unexpected directions, keeping you glued to their desires to try and get a clue as to what will happen next. Loved the interactions between characters, very witty and even funny at times, yet never far from their stressful reality. The author depicts their moods with quick yet sufficient detail, allowing you to soak in the ambiance of each scene with ease. The scenery changes quickly alongside the escalating tension, never allowing you to predict what will happen next. Easy-to-visualize action scenes and mounting sexual tension help keep the pages flipping.
Can't wait for the followup 'The Book of Hours'.
