Receive Your Copy The Coin Fashioned By Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra Distributed As Booklet

weeks of placing The Coin down, I still cannot let go of its beautiful scenery, relatable characters, and startling fast paced plot, The coin straddles two genres of fiction which evoke a powerful reading experience: suspense and romance! Sierras complex plot and intriguing characters form a compelling story that everyone will enjoy.
Not only is the authors style accessible and interesting, but the pacing in the story is fast and addictive with its unique blend of both genres, The Coin should probably come with a warning label: it will grab you and keep you reading well into the wee hours of night, and keep you thinking, deeply, hauntingly, well after the final word! Cant wait until the next book! Loved It!

I bought this book because I knew the author would be at a book signing I was attending.
Shortly after I started it, I had a chance to sit down and speak with the author, I wasn't immediately in love with the book, but she was so well spoken and interesting that I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by finishing it, Now I can't wait to read the next one! Gripping, intense and with a dash of romance you will never forget! Wow, I was speechless after reading The Coin by Maria Elena AlonsoSierra, The author did such a great job that I was so enthralled and sucked in the story, I was unable to put it down because it was such a unique kind of story,

First of all, I loved where the story was set French Riviera, The setting alone was romantic and it was a perfect blend to a love story mixed with suspense, Plus, the characters were very interesting and welldeveloped, What I also especially loved about this book was the fact that it was easy to read, Some suspense books make my head ache with so much details but this book was just perfect for me because it was fastpaced,

I also found the dialogues between the characters very entertaining, It's like I was basically watching a movie because I feel like I can hear their voices on my mind, As a whole, reading this book was a great experience! I got this book throught the goodread first read programme and was a bit unsure whether I would like it as it seemed from other reviwers to be a romance.
Wrong this is a quick pace romantic thriller that got me from the first few pages, A beautiful setting, vividly described and characters you care about, A good read that I did'nt want to end, Set in the earlys in France, this is a story that creeps up on you, Although it didnt catch me right away, before I even realized it, I was completely involved, I sat down to read figuring I could get a few minutes in reading and the next thing I knew an hour has gone by, This is a book that will have you on the edge of your seat, as Richard tries to get to the bottom of the case and trying to protect Gabriela at the same time.


Wonderful character development this is one of those books that could easily translate to the big screen, and Id be first in line to

get a ticket.

WHO EVER THOUGHT A COIN COULD GET YOU KILLED
A cunning killer trusted his secret was safe, an innocent woman holds the key to his destruction, and an intelligence officer must keep her alive before the madman can strike the fatal blow.


A DANGEROUS FIND
When Gabriela Martinez finds a mysterious coin in the French Riviera, she is thrust into a struggle between governments, terrorists, and madmen, all seeking knowledge she doesn't know she has.


TIME IS RUNNING OUT
Richard Harrison, the intelligence officer assigned to protect her, has all he can do to keep her safe, But when the psychological games to terrorize Gabriela escalate beyond his control, Richard must find a solution, if not, it may be too late for them both.


Set in the exotic French Riviera, The Coin is a story of hatred, betrayal, love and dutyof terrible and painful choices that, nonetheless, bring about personal triumph.
The Coin was a brilliant psychological thrill ride that I couldn't get enough of, See, it all started when Gabriela finds a coin that puts her in the crossfire of all kinds of danger, Thankfully, she has Richard an intelligence officer who is determined to keep her safe, However, she's not exactly making his job any easier since they have no clue as to who is stalking her but that killer is upping the ante all over the place while she doesn't see danger everywhere like Richard.
There are a ton of twists coming in hot which kept me on the edge of my seat, and when I get this kind of story, I don't care if there's romance to it or not because I'm all about the suspense.
Plus, this author is a descriptive genius as I felt like I was in the French Riviera in, and I loved that! I cannot wait for the next book as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Coin to ALL! 
A Nazi minted coin, attracting evil and death.
Will special agent Richard be able to protect Gabriel but also himself, from the evil around her

When Gabriel picked up an old coin on a hiking trail in France, she was thrilled and immediately took it to a jeweler to add to her bracelet.
But the coin was marked and linked to international terrorists as a code for their illegal purchases of resources, Quickly identified in a routine procedure, it was reported to American intelligence in Europe where special agent Richard is diverted from a planned, wellearned vacation, to investigate its appearance in what should be a routine and a quickly executed assignment.

However, when Gabriel and Richard first meet, both of them, being highly attractive and enticing individuals in their own ways, are immediately, subtly but powerfully attracted to each other.
Neither of them can afford a relationship as she is married with children and Richard cannot afford relationships in a job as dangerous as his,
Like an evil talisman, the coin immediately exerts its malign influence, which dramatically affects their destinies, as powerful and dangerous enemy agents converge upon her, like sharks to a bleeding carcass in the sea.
Her sour but hardworking husband, Roberto, and other family and acquaintances of hers are inexorably drawn into the web of danger as Richard struggles to protect her.
He is assisted by the loveable but ugly and chainsmoking little French agent, Maurice, as they are pursued across the French countryside,
Neither Gabriel, nor Richard, realize that as they face mounting danger together in a series of escalating attacks on her, both of their lives are changing forever, but will they be able to accept these changes
The writing is tensely taut, with magnificent descriptions of the scenery around them, as well as gripping accounts of realistic action.
There are also a host of interesting characters around the two main protagonists, Amongst others, the tragic and alcoholic Bernard totally selfobsessed, the evil and ruthless, Albert and of course, the French agent, Maurice, who pops up to help them throughout the episode.

Besides being a compulsive and exciting thriller, this is also a dramatic but gentle romance that is handled in a beautifully delicate style by the author.
This makes this a thrilling but also, an intensely poignant reading adventure, As the Indie Authors market is developing, I am seeing more and more books that appear just as professional as those coming out of the traditional publishing market.
However most of the time the Indies have a better story and this is a perfect example of that,

In the theme of great mystery authors, like Louise Penny, this author created an entire world where the reader can “walk around” and know where they are.
The story of a found coin on an innocent stroll soon leads to all kinds of trouble for the Gabriela, Being a fan of true thrillers, I thoroughly enjoyed the high level adventure scenes and incredibly detailed car chases, The web of suspense created by this author was awesome,

This is a book going on my short list of recommendations for those who are fans of a very good suspense book,
Outstanding

Wonderful tale with adventure, passion, intrigue and excitement, Best story ever and I didn't want the journey to end at sll 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, I received this book from goodreads first reads, I thought this was a great action packed book, with a few twists I didn't see coming, I don't like when married women and men not their husbands have the main love story in a book, This was a great book! Fastpaced, intriguing, suspenseful, with sharply drawn characters, Most interesting, however, is the unusual ending, Most unexpected. This fast paced romantic thriller has a decidedly menacing edge to it the plot is fast and furious and never slackens its pace, The characterisation is strong and meaningful and the dialogue between the major players is convincing and well thought out, The inclusion into the story of some quite dark and sinister psychological mind games adds a dangerous frisson of excitement which helps sustain the tension to an exciting degree.

I particularly enjoyed the beautiful setting of the Côte d'Azur whose isolated beauty forms an integral part of the novel,

Overall, this is a commendable first novel, 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.
