Format:Mass Market Paperback
A lot has happened in the three months since Breanna Colby saved the life of her beloved cousin by shooting the hand of a professional assassin, who manages to escape. Anastasia married Damon Lockewood and the pair traveled to America to open up a bank. Breanna's dad remains in jail for his efforts to kill Anastasia. However, Breanna's joy turns sour when two disfigured dolls with blood spots on them arrive with a note stating retribution is near. Bow Street cannot help her as they are busy with a double murder investigation so Breanna hires security guards.
Damon and Anastasia joyfully return to England. However, not long after their reunion with Breanna, someone murders a security guard. Not taking any chances with the lives of the two women he loves, Damon asks an old friend, Lord Royce Chadwick to uncover the identity of the culprit. As he works on this case and a missing person investigation, Royce falls in love with Breanna, an emotion he cannot afford if he is to keep her safe. Still he cannot ignore his love for the brave Breanna.
THE SILVER COIN, the sequel to the fabulous GOLD COIN, is an excellent Regency romantic intrigue that will make a beautifully matched pair on the keeper shelf. The story line is fast-paced and exciting as the assassin stalks his prey. The lead protagonists are a wonderful couple willing to do anything to insure their loved ones remain safe. The obsessed villain completes this great mix that will provide back to back bestsellers for the incomparable Andrea Kane.

Better than the Gold Coin...
15 Dec 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Let me start by saying that this book is better than the prequel, The Gold Coin, in terms of the plot & the mystery line. Compare to the first book, this one encourages you to read on. The thrill & suspense of finding out who the real assassin is, is the bright side of this book. The way the assassin delivers his threat & the way A.K. described the detailed thoughts of the sicko assassin made this book spine chilling. I actually got goose bumps from time to time. I think she should be a mystery writer more than a romance (base on this Coin series, that is). I somewhat enjoyed this book bec. of this mystery plot. However, the romance is as much disappointing as the prequel. The love story of Breanna & Royce was just as unimpressive, unconvincing & dull as Anastasia's & Damen's. Their relationship wasn't developed enough - the declaration of their love was too simple, quick & unexciting - NO challenge whatsoever. Like the Gold Coin, this book also shows too many contradictory conversations, actions & gestures given the time of the 18th century. I did not like the idea of Breanna, who was supposedly a prim & proper lady, became the seducer in their relationship. Base on this Coin series, the two ladies where the aggressive one when it came to showing & demanding sexual desires... OR perhaps I am just old fashion & prefers the heroine as naive & innocent when it comes to this area.
The reason why I rate this book only a 3 stars is because despite my enjoyment to the mystery plot, this book was under Regency/Historical Romance gender. The romance as I have said above was simply not impressive & the historical time plot wasn't researched on & used properly. Too many inconsistencies & contradictions.... Had this book been under Mystery (& not historical), I would have rate it a 4 stars.
I am a new historical romance novel reader but I have read more than 40 books in this gender for the past three months ( mostly written by Julie Garwood's, Judith McNaught's, Jude Deveraux's & Jill Barnett's). In this span of time, I found out my own preferences. I have learned to know exactly what I like and what to expect in a historical romance stories. Perhaps my expectations are higher because of the previous books I have read & from the above authors? Well, all these comments are only my opinion. Everyone have different taste & preferences. I read quite a bit of 5 stars rating here in Amazon about this book, So...it is always best to find out for yourself. I suggest you barrow this book in the library to be on the safe side. Then buy your own copy afterwards - if u find it more than what I have said. Good luck!

Brenna's Story
21 April 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you have read any other Andrea Kane books you may be disappointed. Although is is a good story there is just something that seeems to be lacking. I am not sure what that something is but it seems to lack some of the magic that is Andrea Kane. I am a huge fan and I buy her books simply due to the name on the cover and this will not change.
This is Brenna's story and is the conclusion to the coin series. The first being The Gold Coin. Although it is not a five star story it is still worth the time to read.
