Product Description

Mia Trentino is the top relocating specialist at Worldmove, Inc., and her latest assignment is sending her to Siberia, Russia. But the new job comes with a new partner--a handsome threat to her career named Douglas Farland.

After a rocky start, the job is going well, and things begin to heat up between Mia and Douglas. Then, lies and secrets begin to surface that make Mia suspect her new partner might have a different agenda. What seemed like a simple relocation erupts into a cat-and-mouse game of intrigue full of drug smuggling, secret agents, and the Red Mafiya. Suddenly Mia's in a fight for her life, and she may have to trust the one person who seems the most to blame.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspense + Romance, November 11, 2007

Mia is a relocation specialist who usually works alone, and has to adjust to working with Douglas on an assignment to Siberia. What Mia doesn't know is that Douglas is really a freelance law enforcement agent who's posing, undercover, as her assistant as he tracks what he suspects is a drug dealing ring.

Mia and Douglas are attracted to each other, which makes them both uncomfortable. As the action (and their action) heats up and Douglas realizes that there's more than just drugs involved, Mia feels he's betrayed her, and reacts by getting herself stuck in a jam from which Douglas must save her.

Lerwill has some cool side characters--I especially enjoyed Ludvinka and Shurnik, one mostly good, and one mostly bad--and she pulls together some nice scenes of Siberia, including an image of a lavender-filled field on the shores of Lake Baikal that's still stuck in my head.

Relocating Mia is a promsing start for Lerwill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance and Adventure in Siberia., March 12, 2008

By	Mike Monahan (New York) - See all my reviews

Wow, what a fun read. I couldn't put this fast paced adventure novel down. Romance, murder, mystery, international intrigue, and spies all interwoven into a believable plot. The author's knowledge of Russia and the Red Mafiya added to the realism, as did her colorful characters. I felt that I knew her characters, and was rooting for them throughout this suspenseful book. Relocating Mia is a winner, and I look forward to the sequel.

This book has it all - and tells a sweet love story to boot -
Mia Trentino works with Worldmove Inc. - she facilitates big moves for large corporations. She is sent to Siberia to help our Russian friends, and is given a partner, a sexy man named Douglas Farland. What she doesn't know, our hero is with a super secret organization that makes the FBI look like the YMCA! He is in Siberia to investigate drug dealings and meth labs...while he's undercover, well...he and Mia find themselves falling in love. But he hides his secret agent persona from Mia, and then needs to earn her trust. This book shows Siberia is really cold, and has some cold villians there too. As well as neat operatives on the good guys' side too.
There are some tender moments for us romantics. Little details that help make a book memorable -
