5.0 out of 5 stars
Total Entertainment !!!, July 20, 2008
This review is from: Lethal Affairs (Elite Operatives, Book 1) (Paperback)
Be prepared to spend the rest of your day reading this fast-paced thrilling novel after picking it up the first time. The book opens with a fabulous opening prologue, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat.
Thirty-three year old Domino is utterly believable and at the same time quite original, she is a terrific and wonderfully intriguing character, you want to know everything about her that the authors provide.
I really enjoyed every moment focused on twenty-nine year old Hayley Ward, every aspect about her seemed true.
The locales set the mood and tone perfectly, Istanbul, Washington DC, Malta, Colorado, Baltimore, Miami, Sumatra, NYC. The use of flashback really added to the story at the right time.
I loved the bad guy - a completely excellent villain, I found him as interesting as the two heroines. He is also fully fleshed out with a wife, twin sons and a high stakes career with ruthless ambition to go along with it.
In addition to the perfect ending there is a very sweet romance that builds slowly and subtly at just the right pace and develops at the right moment.

Five PLUS stars on this winner., July 17, 2008
This review is from: Lethal Affairs (Elite Operatives, Book 1) (Paperback)
OK - I just finished Lethal Affairs late, late last night. This is a great whirlwind of a story that is well-researched, well-written, and sexy in all the good and bad ways we come to expect of a brilliant work of literature.
Upon finishing the last page, I got up to get some badly needed water (whew!) and glanced at my image in the bathroom mirror. As I passed, I saw that my hair had been blow straight up, just like when you get off a roller coaster.
Yes, folks, it's that kind of a ride and THAT good.
Xenia Alexiou and Kim Baldwin - Bravo.
