"The Geneva Decision" is an action-packed, never-a-dull-moment thriller with an interesting protagonist. Pia Sabel is a professional soccer player who ends up running a security company. Her skills and background make her well-suited to the task in some ways, but she has a steep learning curve, and it's entertaining to see how she grows into the role.

Although the story flowed well and I was entertained throughout, I found myself shaking my head and yelling at Pia several times for her pig-heade "The Geneva Decision" is an action-packed, never-a-dull-moment thriller with an interesting protagonist.

Although the story flowed well and I was entertained throughout, I found myself shaking my head and yelling at Pia several times for her pig-headedness and seeming inability to listen to others with more experience. In life-and-death situations, there's really no room for such antics, and I found it stretched credulity that experienced ex-military pros would follow her after such behavior instead of walking off the job. I expected a lot more resistance (and some outright defections) from her team members after some of the stunts she pulled. Yes, she's the boss, but I find it highly unbelievable that these people would add additional risk by having such a loose cannon in charge.

(view spoiler)

So high marks for entertainment value, fast pacing, great use of setting (particularly in Cameroon), and twists and turns galore, but I had to drop a star because I was rolling my eyes in disbelief at some of the decisions Pia and other characters made. That said, I'll check out more books in this series because it was certainly a page-turner! ...more

I received a copy of this book from the author. It was definitely a chance of pace for me because I usually read contemporary or historical romance. I enjoyed this book a lot. Pia is engaging and not spoiled, although she comes from a wealthy background. I like the fact that she makes mistakes, and is willing to learn from them. I liked the secondary characters, too, especially Tania, and how she finally bonds with Pia.

I'm looking fotward to more books about Pia and company. ...more
