Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift by Lisette Kristensen is the first book in the Silent Secrets series. This is a short, powerful read that had me enjoying the story from beginning to end. Sloane started life as part of a mafia family but grows and progresses into the life of a spy. The story moves quickly but is filled with lots of story. I felt like this was a lot in a small package. I really liked Sloane and I enjoyed seeing her progression. She changed her life completely because of her circumstances letting nothing hold her back. I look forward to reading more in this series.

5 Stars
WOW!! I’m in a bit of shock at how much I enjoyed this book. It was an edge of your seat fast moving, easy to follow story that started out with life in a mafia family to being trained as a deadly spy with a bit of erotic thrown in the mix.
I don’t normally read this type of genre mainly because I just have trouble keeping up with more complicated issues like terrorism and spies, but this one was so easy to understand and follow that I could definitely see reading the rest of this series, as a matter of fact I sincerely must read the rest of this series, I have read other stories by this author and also enjoyed those, so it’s safe to say that I will be looking into not only the rest of this series but other books by this author.
Many thanks to this author for opening up the door for a new genre for me to enjoy!

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift is the opening to Lisette Kristensen’s Silent Secrets series and what an opening it was! Spin Drift is actually ‘a bridge’, connecting the first book with the second one and if that is what we have to expect, there will not be a dull moment! We have Sloane Romano, a mafia princess, the daughter of the Boss, her husband is picked up by the authorities and because he starts singing like a canary, he signs his own and Sloane’s death warrant! Sloane, who has been living a privileged life has to decide who she can trust with her life … she leaves behind her life as a dutiful daughter and a wife, her mantra will become “you need to destroy the you everyone wanted you to be, to be the real you.” Blinded by Betrayal is Sloane’s journey to discovering who the real Sloane is and once you join her on that journey, you will want to stick as close for as long as you can! (and picturing Ziva David while reading her story!)

This is a very quick read that features a prequel (part one) and the main story. At the beginning of the story, the author explains why it is written this way.
Both parts are very different from each other. Part One is full of open door sex scenes and Part Two is more of an action adventure.
The female protagonist is strong and determined and it was interesting to understand her methodology. In addition to the sexual/action adventure story lines, there is subtle humor.
This was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it to readers who are cool being a “bit” voyueristic.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift: Book One (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen is a brilliant and fast paced shot story. But don’t let that the story is short fool you, there is so much going on and is action packed. It’s like that saying, don’t judge a book by it’s cover, because this is quite an explosive read that definitely packs a punch.
Sloane, the daughter of the Mafia Boss, has just been handed her death sentence by her husband by the very family she loves. On the run to and old friend for help she is thrown into a life that she never in a million years could have imagined. One of sexual discovery, secret government agencies and assassins.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift: Book One (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen was a good 4 star read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning, Sloane’s husband has turned on the family which means they must die. Sloane had no idea her husband was going to do what he did and she refused to go into protective custody, so she runs. She ends up going to an old friend for help, who sends her to a very unexpected place. I definitely did not see this piece coming and I’m still not sure where some of it connects, but I will say there were some mighty steamy scenes.
Never attract attention to yourself. Never give them anything to remember you by.
As we move more into the story, Sloane learns exactly what is expected of her and becomes one heck of a tough girl. This is a short read that includes two of the books from the series. There were several great characters. The story did seem to move really fast at times and I would have liked to have seen a little more of the Chateau Imperium and Bettino, overall I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more from this author and series.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift by Lisette Kristensen is a great thriller. Lisette Kristensen grabbed me from the first page until the last word. The description of the characters and scenery makes everything realistic. I could see myself in these stories as well. I would not like to be in the situation they are in but I could be the character in the background that people could depend on. Sloane is a strong character with a good head on her shoulders. That in itself makes me what to read the story, but the page turning action was the other reason. When Betrayal enters the picture what will happen to Sloane? Can there be a recovery after emotions fly around?

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift: Book One (Silent Secrets) By Lisette Kristensen
Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift: Book One (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen is what I believe a brilliant start to a new series. What I liked about book one is that its two stories in one with Spin Drift taking us into book two, we don’t always see this tie in I found it a great way to end book one. We get introduced to Sloane who is the main character in both books and she’s no weak lady. I found her character to have strength and its good to read a book with a strong female character. The storyline is so easy to follow which makes it even more enjoyable and it will capture your interest from the start as it did with me. The book is an action-packed romance book.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift by Lisette Kristensen (Silent Secrets Book One)
4-Stars
Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift is actually two different stories. Spin Drift is a short story featured at the end of the first book to tie the storyline into the second book. Sloane is the main character of both and it follows her life after her world is turned upside down. The easy to read storyline quickly captured my interest and I could not put it down. The steamy romance and action helped to keep it entertaining. I also loved the setting and the inclusion of family honor in this book. It was an interesting view into a mafia world. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift is a combination of two stories and the first book in the Silent Secrets series and were both really good reads! This might have been a short read but it certainly packed a punch! It was definitely a page turner which was exciting, thrilling and had amazing characters! I loved that I was constantly guessing what would happen with the next turn of the page. There is one thing I can definitely say about this book, apart from how great it was, was that the author absolutely brought the title into the story, I really and truly felt the betrayal in the storyline! My attention was kept from beginning to end and I was really hooked into the storyline! I absolutely cannot wait to read more from this author again in the future!

From beginning to end, just a fantastic thrill ride. I was unprepared for the wallop this short story provided. A suspense filled thrill ride that had me glued to the pages. This was my introduction to this author and what a fantastic ride she took me on. Loved it from first page to last. Highly recommended!

Four Stars
Blinded by Betrayal was full of action and emotion. Every encounter with a character brought you something filled with either fear or excitement. I really liked the main character Sloane. She is one bad mamajamma. She didn’t play any games. When things started off bad I didn’t know what she would do. But what she did do surprised me. She took off and made something amazing for herself. I really liked the direction the story went. She did this on her own without a Male lead. The author really made you felt the betrayal in this story. It comes out of nowhere and your left feeling uncertain. Like what just happened. I like this author. I’m use to more laid back books but this one had me on edge. Review by @gguerrero89

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift combines the first two books in the Silent Secrets Series by Lisette Kristensen. It is a brilliant, fast paced, and action packed story that packs quite a punch for such a small package. This is a very quick and easy read, but that doesn’t mean that it is lacking in content- quite the opposite in fact. There is quite a lot going on, and the story easily held my attention, drawing me in further and further as the story progressed. There is plenty of suspense, drama, intrigue, espionage, the mafia, danger, violence, and lots of ‘steam’. This book shows us how “Blackbird” came to be. Sloane Romano is a mafia princess, the daughter of the Boss, she’s living a privileged life. But all that changes in an instant, when her husband is picked up by the authorities and starts ‘singing’ like a canary. This puts her in the same category as her husband, in the ‘family’s’ eyes- a traitor, with a target on her back. She’s forced to flee- but where to go and more importantly who can she trust. This is where Bettino enters the story- a friend from her school days, he’s her only hope of escaping. But will trusting him prove to be a fatal mistake? She’s no longer content being a dutiful daughter, and wife- stuck in a lonely, loveless and passionless marriage. Or having a target on her back. At the age of 32, she was finally going to live life on her terms. Her ‘adventure’ begins, and she soon finds herself on a journey of discovery- one that brings self-discovery, sexual discovery/awakening, discovering a new ‘way’ of life, finding her steeliness and embracing her strength, as well as learning deadly new skills. As I was reading the book, Sloane reminded me a bit of Ziva David, from the television series NCIS. And, I also think this book/series would make a great television series, too.

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end, it even left me sitting on the edge of my seat a few times. It is a shorter thriller story that has a lot packed in which kept it engaging. I was pulled in right from the beginning. Sloane’s character is well written, connectable and strong. She finds herself spinning out of control when she turns to the one man that can help her. Failure is not an option for her. She brought the story to life for me, I highly recommend reading her story.

Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift By Lisette Kristensen Rated 4 stars
I was drawn into the characters plight from the beginning. Then the story took a left turn and I was like”Whoa” what is happening. To turn around begin again and it’s something else all together. This is not what I was expecting which is not all bad in a story. It definitely kept me on my toes and reading late into the night because I wanted to know what would happen next. It’s exciting, exhilarating, and easily kept my interest. This is a short book but there is no shortness on the action or suspense. Nice!

The story Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift: Book One (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen is a thrilling book to read. It has action, operatives, and danger. While it is a story that is a bit shorter than some, the powerful impact of the characters and the storyline makes it a page turner. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. Sloane is a woman without a lot of options. Betrayal has entered her life. What does the future hold for her? Read this book to find out. I loved that Sloane is a strong female character. Raw and conflicted emotions are felt. Can Sloane trust the one man that she turns to? Don’t miss out on a story that will grab your attention from the very beginning and will not let go until the last page. Highly recommended.

Her husband turned rat, her father wanted her dead. Sloane could only turn to one man, could she trust him?
Sloane’s life spun into another world, she had no idea what would confront her as she dove into the world of espionage. One reality was certain, failure would bring death.
Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift is the first book in the Silent Secret Series. The stories are espionage thrillers wrapped around the world of politics and military operations.
“Don’t miss great reading about strong confident women as the main characters … Great read that you need to one click.”
Lisette, discovered her passion for spy thrillers as a young girl. Regardless, if it was movies, tv or books her passion for the dark, evil world of espionage was ignited.
Her Silent Secret Series brings current events across the world to live through the eyes of badass female operatives. Either they belong to commonly known agencies, or private security firms, her heroines know no boundaries to get the mission accomplished.
Her thrillers a full of bullets flying, bodies dropping and hearts breaking. If you enjoy, Russell Blake’s, JET series, you will meeting Blackbird.
