The Book of Hours (Coin/Hours Cycle 2)The Book of Hours by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Book of Hours is Book Two in the Coin/Hours Duology. This book is an intense, psychological thrill ride full of twists and turns that will keep you riveted to the end. Gabriela is a woman who seems to have nothing but bad luck which often leaves her feeling trapped within her past. She is stuck with the cycle of bad thoughts that run on a loop in her head, wanting to move forward, but something always seems to keep her from finding happiness. Her one true love is Richard, but surely after all the years that have passed, he will not still be waiting for her. Fear prevents her from pursuing the matter farther until he comes back into her life suddenly after hearing about mysterious accidents that keep happening to her.

Richard is still head over heels in love with Gabriela and vows to protect her from the man who is ruthless in his pursuit of Gabriela’s newest work. This man is determined to obtain The Book of Hours and will do anything to acquire it. The plot thickens and the suspense builds as Gabriela and Richard are faced with danger that lurks around every corner. With their entire future at stake can Gabriela and Richard stop the madman determined to acquire The Book of Hours? Can they find love through the chaos?

I really enjoyed this book and found the writing to be done wonderfully. The storyline, setting, and characters pulled me in, and I became completely invested in the outcome of their story. Gabriela and Richard are wonderful characters who I find myself rooting for as they fight to be together through distance, through bad relationships, and through all the chaos life throws at them. A love story of epic proportions as two people find a way to love unconditionally no matter what obstacle gets thrown in their way. I Highly recommend this Book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was gripped from page one by this romantic suspense novel which kept me captivated throughout. Artist Gabriela Martinez’s new work, The Book of Hours has put her in danger when an unscrupulous art dealer, Arnold Wickham wants to claim it. When Richard Harrison discovers the woman he loves, Gabriela is in danger he believes he’s been gifted with a second chance to protect her. However, Richard needs to stay focused as both their lives are in danger. Both the California and London settings were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. The characters are well defined, and I enjoyed the relationship development between the main characters. The storyline and plot twists kept me happily turning the pages, and I would recommend this enjoyable and engaging read.

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed listening to.  I look forward to picking up more from this author.  I enjoyed the narrator and how the tone of their voice made the story engaging.   A story about second chances, family and obsession.  A story where one art dealer becomes obsessed with a new artist.  He is determined and nothing will get in his way to get what he wants.  This is an audio book you don’t want to miss for sure.  It is an engaging story that made me want to know more which made this easy to listen to.  I really enjoyed listening to this story.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

This is not my first book by this author and this is one of my favorites yet. This is a well written story where the characters pull you into the story from the beginning. They are supportive, connectable and made the story entertaining to read. A story about second chances, family and obsession. A story where one art dealer becomes obsessed with a new artist. He is determined and nothing will get in his way to get what he wants. This is a character that adds so much to the story. They brought twists and turns to life and had me coming back for more. It is a hard to put down story that is engaging and fast paced. This is a great story that I enjoyed reading. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

sure enjoyed this continuation of The Coin series. Gabriela and Richard took this story to a whole new level. The spy game and time travel just made it so fanflippingtastic. I used to think The DaVinci Code was great but I have since changed my mind. I found the protagonist in this series are well-written and developed. The antagonist fit their role perfect. The story flows smooth and it just is. I couldn’t and didn’t want to put it down, that’s how well done it is. The tone of the story is total intrigue and suspense/mystery. I was totally hooked from the start. It’s a series I highly recommend. A definite must read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Coin/Hours Cycle Series. I haven’t read the first one but I will definately be heading to read it now. This book was really intriguing and captivating. I loved the twists and turns, the ups and downs, the danger around every corner it really kept me gripped

Gabriela has a very rare artifact in her possession. So rare that someone wants it and is prepared to stop at nothing to get it. Even if it means removing Gabriela from the picture.
There is also a romance as well between Richard and Gabriela. Their romance is intense and passionate and when Richard hears of the threats to Gabriela and her family he rushes to her side to protect her.
After 4 years of being apart could this finally be there chance to be together and be happy or will the danger facing Gabriela keep them apart for good.
I was gripped and captivated from start to end. I loved how I couldn’t guess the outcome which left me reading and hooked.

The Book of Hours (Coin/Hours Cycle 2)The Book of Hours by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Book of Hours is the second gripping book in the Coin/Hours Duology and the first I have had the pleasure of reading by this author. I did stop reading this book to go back and read the first because I thought I was missing out, but Maria made sure to include enough information if you don’t.
It is a suspenseful thrilling rollercoaster ride that had me checking everyone out around me. Paranoid much I admit but it is due to the writing of this author. With crime, suspense, and mystery this psychological romantic drama had me on the edge of my seat and looking for a anything hiding in the shadows.
The characters are well written, and this exciting world Maria has given us has everything to make it a great read and the pages turning. The plot is cleverly crafted and well-thought out and the story flowed well.
It started with a coin and ends with a book, a killer, a secret and an innocent woman but now the stakes are higher.
Unbeknownst to Gabriela she is the focus of a madman that wants her rendition of a book, but Richard Harrison is back to save the woman he loves from this Psychopath. Will they get their HEA?
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from this author. Those who like a great psychological thriller will love this duology.
