ALWAYS APPRECIATIVE OF REVIEWS

Thank you to all who keep writing reviews for my novels. You have no idea how much I appreciate them.  Here is the latest one on The Coin. Super grateful.

5.0 out of 5 starsEdge of you seat,Heart throbbing,Keeping you guessing, 
Action Mystery! Love it!
ByValerie Robersonon October 7, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
This was a fun book to read. It covered all bases, romance, mystery, 
suspense and action. I enjoyed trying to figure out who the killer was.
When I read who it was, I laughed and was pleased with myself for
guessing the right person. It took me a while to come to a guess.
This story line is fantastic and written with a steady hand. I love all
the emotions the character's showed and it was true to life. 
Maria Alonso-Sierra is a new author to me and I really like her work.
I look forward to more of her work in the future.
Gabriela lives in France with her husband and two kids. They live in
the valley of a mountain. One day she was walking in a clearing and
the sun made something sparkle. It was a coin, maybe old,
but at any case it was going on her charm bracelet. When Richard
arrived to protect her, she didn't know she was in trouble. Some one
is willing to toy with her and even try to kill her for the coin. But why?
Who? Can they figure out who it is before it is to late in more ways
than one? Can Richaed see pass his heart to keep here safe? And when
you do find out who is behind all of it, will you be shocked?
Edge of your seat, heart throbbing, keeping you guessing, action
mystery! Love it!

NEW REVIEW ON THE COIN BY ARCHAEOLIBRARIAN I DIG GOOD BOOKS!

Thrilled about this new review and always grateful.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood read.

ByAmerson August 9, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

Whew! If you’re looking for a book full of suspense and thrilling action, this is a
book for you.It’s got a dark side and the thrilling part of the story will keep you
on your toes – it will also keep you guessing until the end. You’ll be asking 
“who did it, who was the killer?” then it will switch to “No way!” I applaud
the author in keeping the twists and turns up from the first page to the last page!

There is no lack of description or detail. Each scene, whether it be in the house,
on the mountain, or at a party, is detailed very well and the scenes described
piece for piece.You shouldn’t have any problem visualizing them as you’re reading, make
the scenes flow effortlessly through your mind.

This story has a little forbidden romance but I think you’ll find yourself cheering
for Richard, the forbidden lover. It’s kind of depressing reading about Roberto and
his treatment of his wife and his ability to put work first, no matter the reason.
I definitely found myself rooting for Richard and hoping he would win his love.

Overall, this was a great story and a good read. The concept was interesting
and made for a good read.

The Coin 
by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra (Goodreads Author) 

Michelle Ferrari-Johnson's review

Jan 13, 16

it was amazing

Read from January 11 to 12, 2016

What an incredible fabulous story! Romance, suspense, drama. Fate brought them together, toyed with them and pushed them apart. I could not put this book down. Love the raw and truthful emotions of the main characters. I admit, the who-dun-it I had actually pinned on another, thinking I could out smart the author. As fate would have it (pun intended ) it was not whom I had become to believe. I felt like I was reading a mystery combined with James Bond adventures. A must read if you love suspense, action, romance and drama. The author sucks you right in and runs away with you and your imagination. Truly fantastic adventure!

A NEW, ENTHUSIASTIC REVIEW OF THE BOOK OF HOURS ON GOODREADS

I'm humbled, and grateful, and super happy.

Cristi rated it 5-stars it was amazing

Without a doubt, Alonso-Sierra did it again!!!!! You must read both books!!!! (The Coin, then The Book of Hours) Gabriela & Richard's relationship and passion is one to envy, and the supporting cast of characters and fascinating story line will not allow you to put the book down! I highly recommend this read to anyone who is not only interested in a romance novel, because this is not just a romance novel, it is a well thought-out mystery as well. Can't wait to see what's next for the author!

A fast-paced thriller with well-drawn characters, a tight plot and enough romance to keep you turning the pages. If you like suspense seasoned with a rising attraction between two people, I recommend this book. I am looking forward to the sequel.

Read from December 28, 2013 to April 08, 2014

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was well written and I just couldn't put it down.

The only thing that bothered me was how fast Richard fell for her, but it didn't take away too much from the story for me.

I am looking forward to the sequel; I'm curious as to what mess Gabriela has gotten herself into this time :P lol


(Also, the counter thingy is weird on this, I didn't read it from December 28th to April 8th, I started it on April 2nd :P Just felt like straightening that out)

This review is from: The Coin (Paperback)

The Coin is one of the best novels I have read in a long time. It does not take a while for you to realize that the author is a masterful writer of suspense and romance fiction. Brimming with action and an intense plot, the book proves to be irresistible and you will find it hard to put the book down especially with the exciting plot twists. The book would make a wonderful movie (the author's detail makes it easy to visualize) and I simply cannot wait for the sequel. Recommend it for anyone who is in for a good thrill ride.

The story of Gabriela and Richard is amazing. This story has great characters, action,and love. Thank you Maria for this story that I will continue thinking about, and can't wait to read the sequel.

This review is from: The Coin (Kindle Edition)

The Coin was a fantastic read! So original and compelling, the plot keeps you intrigued and on your toes even after the final page of the book. No one else could have written The Coin with the same style and class. The author unappologetically leads you right in the middle of the high paced action scenes and the intimate moments between Richard and Gabriela. This is a must read!
