The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is a fast paced, riveting, romantic <\/span><\/span>
romp through the south of <\/span><\/span>France. Once started, it must be read almost <\/span>
non-stop from cover to cover. Characters drive a story as<\/span><\/div>\n
much as the plot does. If they cannot grab and hold your attention…your <\/span><\/span>
love and your hate…then a <\/span><\/span>novel may become tedious if you do not care <\/span>
about their fate. But when you truly care for the well <\/span>being of the characters, <\/span>
the tale moves along at a brisk pace.<\/span><\/div>\n
The main characters… the beautiful Cuban artist Gabriela Martinez and her <\/span><\/span>
handsome American <\/span><\/span>secret agent protector… are crisply yet softly delineated; <\/span>
clashing with each other throughout the <\/span>adventure; inevitably being drawn to <\/span>
the sensual magnetism of each other. The scurrilous villain <\/span>and even all the <\/span>
supporting cast are finely etched enabling the reader to conjure up positive and <\/span><\/div>\n
negative images as they struggle to help or harm Gabriela. Throughout the <\/span><\/span>
story, the hero and <\/span><\/span>heroine are dodging the evil machinations of the story’s villain.<\/span><\/div>\n
In addition to the wonderful characters, The Coin is filled with intrigue, suspense <\/span><\/span>
and best of all, <\/span><\/span>the soft touch of romance all set in the beautiful countryside of <\/span>
France. It is a very pleasurable <\/span>read that will leave you wanting more…more <\/span>
contact with your new friends… and there is more <\/span>as Gabriela & Richard <\/span>
are united once again facing the menace of another ruthless villain in the <\/span><\/div>\n
sequel The Book of Hours. Happy reading!!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
