My Review 

This book started with a prolog that took you straight into the middle of the action. it also told you what i thought was the outcome ( ending of the book as the characters jumped off the top of the building) It wasn't so and the ending was different at 1st i thought this man is either dreaming and will wake up at the end of the book at it would be the day of his babies birth then i thought it wouldn't be that simple as i kept reading i wondered if what he was hearing and seeing in his mind then i began to believe him and wounder how many people would this baby affect after reading what she had done to her mother. it reminded me a little of the film Demon or even the horror chunky. a good read kept you guessing and wanting to read the next chapter etc. Think it should have been 1 big book not with the 2nd book starting with chapter 9.

Lust, Money & Murder - Book 1

This book begins with a young and naive Elaine Brogan as she initially pursues her dream of a career as a photo model. After becoming entangled with a sleazy modeling agency, she decides to become a Secret Service agent, struggling through the arduous training academy. After her first disastrous assignment, she is transferred to Bulgaria. There, she meets Nick LaGrange, the love of her life. "Revenge, determination and love fuel this thoroughly enjoyable fast paced thriller." - Samuele's Book Reviews. Lust, Money & Murder - Book 2 Elaine falls head over heels for Nick, but discovers he’s not exactly what he appears. Elaine is called back to Washington to lead a top secret program to develop counterfeit-proof banknotes, but soon finds herself in Russia, running from the Mafia, and eventually in the hands of Giorgio Cattoretti, a master knock-off clothing manufacturer who has now become the world’s #1 currency counterfeiter.

My Review 

 Elaine Brogan is a very head strong character who is determined to do the right thing the problem is that she trust people in authority that know or what she thought was more that she did educational wise. The 1st book is all about her up bringing and the battles that she has faced to get to where she is in the second book ( which i thought should be 1 book in all rather than 2 separate books as book 2 starts with chapter 19) The second book Shows her 1st year working for the fraud squad i see them where she gain experience working with overuse characters 1 in which she falls in love with but can she trust him or anyone else for that matter poor Elaine believes the people who have authority over her and gets her into a lot of trouble by the end of the book which has a nice cliff hanger you wounder has she really gone roge or is she just acting that way so that she can be safe and be able to catch the men who have got her at a latter date. Will nick come to her rescue? I really enjoyed the story line it had me gripped right for the start. looking forward to reading the 3rd book and finding out the answers to my questions.

 

Lust, Money & Murder - Book 3 

This book is the third in a series.
Global counterfeiting mastermind Giorgio Cattoretti takes Elaine under his wing, tempting her with heady amounts of money to apply her expert knowledge to improve his nearly-perfect U.S. bills. But Elaine still loves Nick. When Nick enters the picture, it may be too late. With nowhere to run and nowhere to turn, will Elaine give in to a life of crime, or will she find the love she’s always wanted?

My Review 

well my questions were answered to be given more questions. but Elaine did not turn her back on her country and just did when she could to survive and thanks to her love of her life she survived!  Elaine  went through hell and back with people betraying her left right and center it wouldn't put it passed her if she had serious trust issues! She was one of the heroes in this book and the book was really down to earth just like watching a FBI agent in a movie. very believable. A good read it was refreshing to read something that kept my interest other than a vampire /werewolf/witch/ and magic kind of books.  Mike Wells is also writing book 4,5 and 6 looking forward to them to come out! the only thing that i would have changed was to start each book with chapter 1 rather than following chapters from the previous books.
