April 01, 2009: A great read when relocating yourself!
Many people read books as a way to escape. Others as a way to travel. Still others a way to view the world through someone else's eyes. This book does all three and more. And of all places - Siberia, Russia! I thoroughly enjoyed Rebecca Lerwill's "Relocating Mia". Ms. Lerwill's fine attention to detail and grasp of the English language is stunning. The reader is compelled to root for the "good guys", despise the bad and feel as though they have been transported to each area in which Ms. Lerwill describes. In the beginning of the book, I found myself slowly drinking in every word, yet by the last one hundred pages, I could not turn the pages fast enough. As she combines suspense, intrigue, mystery and romance, Ms. Lerwill has some great lines in this book. I would definitely recommend "Relocating Mia" to others and am relieved that her sequel, "The Acronym," has already been released!J.R.

December 06, 2008:
ia is a relocation specialist who usually works alone, and has to adjust to working with Douglas on an assignment to Siberia. What Mia doesn't know is that Douglas is really a freelance law enforcement agent who's posing, undercover, as her assistant as he tracks what he suspects is a drug dealing ring.
Mia and Douglas are attracted to each other, which makes them both uncomfortable. As the action (and their action) heats up and Douglas realizes that there's more than just drugs involved, Mia feels he's betrayed her, and reacts by getting herself stuck in a jam from which Douglas must save her.
Lerwill has some cool side characters--I especially enjoyed Ludvinka and Shurnik, one mostly good, and one mostly bad--and she pulls together some nice scenes of Siberia, including an image of a lavender-filled field on the shores of Lake Baikal that's still stuck in my head.
Relocating Mia is a promsing start for Lerwill.
