Mission:Impossible??? Not anymore!!! Lerwill has just completed the assignment in style!!!!!

Ever have a footrace with a novel? Well, neither have I -- until now!!!! I feel like I've just run a marathon that did me no good at all. Why? Because I was chasing someone in a luge!!! That's what Rebecca Lerwill must have been in when she was writing The Acronym, her sensational new novel that I can't say enough good things about!!! Let me start by saying this; Ding, ding, ding! Folks, we have a winner!!!!

The Acronym snaps, sizzles and kabooms across the pages. It's drinking vodka on the Volga! It's watching the Kirov and listening to Tchaikovsky! It's dancing the Barynya in an embroidered Russian tunic --¦ and more! It's filled with those kind of people. You know the ones that always seem bigger, smarter and more attractive than everyone else. They even seem to have better sex -- and more of it! It's like they were born with an extra chromosome or something!!! Well, those are the people we meet in-between these pages. Ms. Lerwill packs 'em all in there and they sure know how to interact! There's Mia Trentino, the sexy, beautiful, vulnerable girl that an evil Russian mafia kingpin named Sergei Selkin wants dead. Selkin will stop at nothing to prevent her from testifying against an affiliate that was responsible for her abduction. And, psssst ...  he carries a knife!! Then there's Mia's devilishly handsome boyfriend Douglas Farland.. You just know he's the kind of man that would take a bullet for the woman he loves. Of course, with his reflexes he'd probably catch it in his teeth! Then there's Ludvika, the femme fatale Russian smorgasbord of an agent! When she's on the job, she's as cold and calculating as a Siberian winter, but man, does she clean-up good! Then there's the dependable, true blue Brian Secona. He's the one with the sign in his window that says, "Forget about the pit bull -- you better worry about me!" And there's a new guy, Uwe Hirsch, a German hunky-poo with a bod that goes on for days! What? Does Acronym pay these guys buy the ounce or something??!!!! The evil Selkin -- along with assorted co-horts -- keep them all on their toes, bobbing and weaving and fighting just like Ali in his prime!!! The dialogue and action crackle across the page and we go right along with it using every bit of our wits and agility to keep up!!!! I felt like a Jack Russell terrier on one of those doggie obstacle courses. Lerwill had me running and weaving through that set of poles!!!

What can I say? The Acronym has it all. Great characters, a solid story, incredible action, plot twists and romance!!! It's fun, exciting and moves along at a breakneck speed! With this book, Ms. Lerwill establishes herself as an author to be reckoned with. I suspect in the very near future you'll get used to her name being in the top ten bestsellers list. The Acronym has my highest recommendation.

Ms. Lerwill --  Kudos, Spasiba and Skol!!!!
