The Coin: A Romantic Thriller set on the French Riviera


The Coin
by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
a Romantic Thriller

Gabriela Martinez never thought finding a simple French coin would place her life in jeopardy.  Richard Harrison never thought the woman he'd been tricked into protecting would be the one woman he could love. Now, with the help of Richard's counterpart in French intelligence, Maurice Nôret, Richard and Gabriela must stay ahead of a killer whose only purpose is to keep his identity a secret, even if it means silencing Gabriela forever.

Set in the exotic Côte d'Azur (French Riviera), The Coin has romance, action, thrills, and suspense. A fast read you won't be able to put down.

Goodreads Reviews:  
 ***** "This romance/suspense story is set in the lovely French Riviera. It is a fast read, the plot is tight and the characters are well developed with an unexpected twist to the standard romance story. This adds complexity and interest, not one character is stronger than the other, thus eliminating the "victim" or "superhero" tendencies so prevalent in modern Romance." 

 ***** "The author has a real talent for storytelling and her ability to control the action whilst keeping the integrity of the love story, adds a nice dimension to what is in effect a very well controlled and suspenseful thriller."

    Thanks for the giveaway. The most romantic place to me is Barcelona, Spain. I would love to go there.

    It is impossible to compare the cities. Barcelona has great charm, it is smaller, intimate and easy to explore. Paris is huge and has been the center of culture for many centuries.
    The Coin is a great story, I read it in two days. Attention ladies, you will love Richard. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
