    This review was written for Conspiracy in Kiev - eBook.
    Spy novels usually arent my thing, but this was a terrific book. Lots of twist and turns with engaging characters. Eager for the next book in the trilogy!!

    During the preparation for a United States presidential trip to Ukraine, Department of Treasury Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca was approached by the Secret Service for a special assignment. Her assignment was to keep an eye on organized crime leader Yuri Federov. Although conflicted, she accepted the job that would be a challenge to her both professionally and personally. Before the action ends, Part Two of the book changes the location and Alex finds and uneasy alliance.Conspiracy in Kiev is the first in this trilogy of international intrigue. I read these out of order, and although each of them was perfect as a standalone book, the three of them together are captivating.Alex is a smart woman of faith who can handle herself well in tough situations. The locations in the book are well described, so I had a sense of being there with the action. The characters are interesting and there is ample information to get to know and understand them. There is a perfect blend of narration and conversation without either being overdone. Plenty of action and adventure held my interest until the end.Although Alex is a person of faith. Her feelings of conflict in her faith and moral dilemmas are worked out in the book, but she is far from a perfect person. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good thriller, adventure, and story of international intrigue.

    I really enjoyed "Conpiracy in Kiev" It kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn't want to put it down. I just started "Midnight in Madrid" that is how much I enjoyed this book!

    I love this series. The series is about a smart young woman (late 20's, I think) who works for the US Govertment in the area of international financial fraud. In the course of her work she meets love, tragedy, challenge to her morals and faith, as well as the physical dangers of her job. She operates in a tough world and there is some tough talk and violent action which one normally might not find in Christian fiction. But it works here because, I think, the author is trying to bring us a REAL woman in a real world. The writer writes suspense and intrigue VERY well and probably has some personal background in it because he shows it so well. I actually read the second book in this series first. A friend had it and gave it to me and I read it in two days and went out and bought this one. I was not disappointed and now am hooked into the character and her world.

    As soon as I started reading the book, I was hooked in completely. Alex is a character that I absolutely adored from the beginning. She's the type of heroine that you want to be, and that you like very much. She's strong, yet you can see her weaknesses. I really enjoyed all the historical facts that were presented in this book. As a historian, I appreciated how the author used real history and didn't create events to make the story better. Some readers might find these bits boring, as the history of Ukraine and the former Soviet Union are told in details but they are relevant to the plot of the story and shouldn't really be skimmed over. The story is extremely well researched and I actually felt like I had traveled to Europe along with Alex. One other thing I really liked is that even though the author is male and writes as a first person female, Alex acts like a rational woman and does not fall into cliched stereotypes. I personally enjoyed the downplay of romance in this book.There is quite a bit of violence in this book. The story is very action packed and many characters do die. In fact, it seemed that there was someone that died in almost every chapter. Characters also do drink socially throughout the story. This book felt very realistic in the way situations were handled. Events that take place in this book could pretty much be ripped from headline news. To be honest, I don't consider this book Christian fiction at all. It may be by published by a Christian publisher, but the story doesn't really project anything preachy. Alex does grow stronger in her faith but it is not a main focus point. In fact I would just consider this book to be a good international suspense thriller. This was one of the best suspense books I've read all year. Tight storyline, thrilling action sequences, an engaging heroine and a page turning read make this one of my favorite reads of the year. VERY HIGHLY recommended.
