Product Description
Elite operative Domino is no stranger to peril and impossible situations. Trained all her life to be just as comfortable fighting terrorists as mixing with the gala crowd, she is proficient at playing any role necessary to accomplish her objective and believes the cause sanctifies the means. But her latest assignment to investigate journalist Hayley Ward will test more than her skills, ingenuity and courage, because this time she faces the ultimate dilemma: a choice between loyalty and love.
First in the romantic suspense series: Elite Operatives.

Be prepared to spend the rest of your day reading this fast-paced thrilling novel after picking it up the first time. The book opens with a fabulous opening prologue, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat.
Thirty-three year old Domino is utterly believable and at the same time quite original, she is a terrific and wonderfully intriguing character, you want to know everything about her that the authors provide.
I really enjoyed every moment focused on twenty-nine year old Hayley Ward, every aspect about her seemed true.
The locales set the mood and tone perfectly, Istanbul, Washington DC, Malta, Colorado, Baltimore, Miami, Sumatra, NYC. The use of flashback really added to the story at the right time.
I loved the bad guy - a completely excellent villain, I found him as interesting as the two heroines. He is also fully fleshed out with a wife, twin sons and a high stakes career with ruthless ambition to go along with it.
In addition to the perfect ending there is a very sweet romance that builds slowly and subtly at just the right pace and develops at the right moment.

OK - I just finished Lethal Affairs late, late last night. This is a great whirlwind of a story that is well-researched, well-written, and sexy in all the good and bad ways we come to expect of a brilliant work of literature.
Upon finishing the last page, I got up to get some badly needed water (whew!) and glanced at my image in the bathroom mirror. As I passed, I saw that my hair had been blow straight up, just like when you get off a roller coaster.
Yes, folks, it's that kind of a ride and THAT good.
Xenia Alexiou and Kim Baldwin - Bravo.
LETHAL AFFAIRS is a Marvelous Ride! July 19, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I only had two hours to read. I sat down in my office, on my favorite
chair, and began to read where I had left off the night before. I was
on about page 65 and thought, " WOW. LETHAL AFFAIRS is like a movie. I need
popcorn and a soda!" So I made a batch of popcorn and ate like I was
watching an action packed James Bond movie.
LETHAL AFFAIRS is loaded with all the love gusto a girl needs.
It's jammed packed with action nooks and crannies that jump out of their
corners and scream in your ear, "BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!"
The writing is fluid, smooth, and dynamic.
The plot is cutting edge, edge of your seat, rip roaring bold.
Harness yourself into your seat. This is the Indianapolis 500!
LADIES - START YOUR ENGINES!

Kim Baldwin and Xenia Alexiou are a great writing team. This book is first-rate quality. All I have to say is, where's the sequel?!

I've read all of Kim Baldwin's books and enjoyed each fast paced plot. I was concerned that a collaboration between the two authors would weaken the flow. What a nice surprise. The plot had all the energy of Kim's previous books and both Domino and Haley are strong characters. I vacillated between wanting to be them and wanting to be with them.
