Best selling lesbian fiction author, forty four year old Yalen
Martinez, is ex CIA. She has fans all over the world. She’s single and has been
since her long term relationship broke up two years previously.
Yalen’s best friends have been trying to fix her up with blind
dates. She just isn’t interested in the types of women her friends find for her.
She decides to use a dating website to find her ideal woman. When Yalen meets
Emily, she thinks she may just have found a woman she wants to get to know
better. She begins to have feelings for her. When Yalen discovers she’s been the
victim of an online dating scam, she’s devastated, then the hurt turns to anger.
She’s so angry that she will stop at nothing to track Emily down.
First of all, Yalen needs to find who the woman is in the
photo Emily provided. She quickly finds out that the photo is that of twenty
nine year old Briana Latham, an ex Victoria’s Secret model. It doesn’t take much
to find Briana’s address in Tennessee. Yalen books a flight having no clue as to
what she is going to say to Briana. She only hopes Briana doesn’t see her as
some sort of maniac.
Yalen needn’t have worried, when the two women meet, there is
an immediate attraction, which Yalen won’t take any further due to the age
difference between them.
When Yalen finds a connection between Briana and Emily, she is
even more determined to solve the online dating scam. Together Yalen and Briana
set off for London, England
It’s in England that Yalen and Briana discover that things are
far worse than a dating scam. Their lives are in danger when they find
themselves embroiled in the dealings of an international, multi million dollar
Russian mafia syndicate, involving human sex trafficking, computer viruses,
treason, as well as the online dating scam. Murder and mayhem are an everyday
occurrence. Amongst all these things emerges a true love that cannot be
shaken.
This book is an edge of the seat page turner from start to
finish. There is so much crammed in to it, it’s hard to categorize. There is
adventure, action, crime, mystery, intrigue, suspense, it’s a thriller and a
romance too.
The story begins in the USA and carries on in England. Trin
Denise has done a humongous amount of research for this book. It really shows
through. As well as being a jolly good read, I’ve also learned a lot
too.
Although this book is a work of fiction, a lot of it is based
on real events. Trin has also fearlessly used real names here too. I say
fearlessly, because I personally wouldn’t have to courage to name any one having
anything to do with the Russian mafia.
We follow Yalen and Briana’s encounters with the Russian
mafia, MI5, MI6, Scotland Yard, CIA, FBI and other agencies in this fast paced
book. The characters are all multidimensional, they interact well together and
are all essential in the progression of the story. The good characters, I loved,
the bad ones, I hated. The story was so intense at times, I think my blood
pressure must have risen considerably. There are so many ups and downs and
twists and turns in this book, I never knew what was going to happen next. It’s
not at all predictable.
If you are looking for a book that will engage you and thrill
you, with a red hot romance at it’s heart, this will fit the bill. But........be
warned, do not start this at bedtime. I couldn’t put this down once I started
it.
This is on my re-read pile. I feel a second reading will
enhance the story for me as there will be no pressure to find out how the book
ended.
