First, I would like to say that it took me way to long to write this review.
This is the sequel to Countermeasure...A delicious follow up and a juicier read. We are thrusted back into Trevor and Cassandra's life along with an introduction of some other POVs.
They find themselves in Russia following a lead that places Trevor in a den of a Russian Mafia lord with no escape. We are also introduced to a extended exploration of feelings between T's family friend Stephan (YUMMY!!) and Cassie's spunkst...more

I am still not exactly sure who is this series is aimed at (is it marketed towards those who love Erotic Romance but yearn desperately for more plot or for readers of espionage, spy-type thrillers who crave much more explicit sexual content with their latest James Bond fix?). Tthat doesn’t really matter because what the authors set out to achieve here hits all the right buttons and does it well! This series is both thrilling and highly engagin...more

When I read a book, I can either say ‘I liked it’ or ‘it was alright’ or ‘I didn’t care for it’. To Russia with Love doesn’t fit into one of those categories. TRWL was simply a brilliant masterpiece!

To Russia With Love is exactly what I expected it to be in the sense that I knew it would blow me away. But, I also know Cecilia and Chris are so good at giving us unexpected things that I just HAD to be surprised in one way or another. These surprises came in differents forms. Some came from the characters and their hidden secrets, others from discovering some character traits, others simply by discovering new characters, others by some events ...

I love when a series goes from HOT to SCORCHING. That is exactly what authors Chris Almeida and Cecilia Aubrey have done with geeky, computer nerd Trevor Bauer and his ex-CIA wife Cassie.
Trevor and Cassie continue to investigate the disappearance of Trevor's parents. When Trevor's friend George comes across a conversation that mention's software Trevor's father was working on, he thinks they have the break they need. But that information leads them to direct involvement with the Russian mob and...more

Following on from the events in Countermeasures, Trevor and Cassandra Bauer are now married, have moved to Dublin and have opened a Data Retrieval business whilst still consulting part-time for the NSA. Trevor is still obsessed with discovering the truth behind his parents disappearance and when a chance comes up to accept a job in exchange for some lost notes of his fathers, he leaps at the opportunity that takes him and his new wife into the heart of Russia and the arms of the Russian Mafia.

The thing I love about this series is how well developed the characters are. I know I said this in my review of Countermeasure, but the characters seem so real. I feel like these are people that I could become friends with and sit down to have a drink or two with. Even the secondary characters are well developed, not just slapped on the page to fill up space.
The women in this series are also amazing, strong characters. None of them are waiting for a man to come riding up on a white horse to save...more

To Russia With Love is book 2 in the Countermeasure Series. I absolutely adored Trevor and Cassandra in book one and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one to see how their story continued. I was not disappointed! From page one you jump head first right back into their fast paced, very unpredictable lives. This couple continues to warm my heart and keeps me wanting more.

Review based on ARC version:
Geek to the rescue for the second time. *arches eye brow* What? If James Bond had the wits, charm and geekiness of Trevor Bauer, he would not be able to do his job because of the influx of Bond Girls. Anyway... where were we?
Right, TRWL... As the hunt for Trevor's parents continues, our heroes have settled into married life in Ireland. In order to get his hands onto notes from his father, Trevor agrees to help with the retrieval of a software program that has the pot...more

Intense! This series has it all...action/adventure, romance, suspense, and hot, steamy sex! The characters are so so well developed you feel like you know them in real life. It's hard to find books like that.
Working on a lead in hopes of finding out what happened to Trevor's parents they end up in Russia and dealing with the wrong people...the Russian Mafia! EEEK!
I love the fact that these books are well researched and could totally happen in real life..actually it did! They are not far fetched...more

I can’t say enough about this intense, exhilarating, sexy series. It has a very unique plot line that is skillfully thought out. You are continuously wondering who you can and cannot trust. Oh, and we can’t forget the scattering of humor. Any time you have Trevor and Cassandra together, It’s guaranteed you will get some laughs. I am so eager to see what happens next. If you are a fan of suspense with a blend of love, smoking hot sex, and consuming emotion you won’t want to miss out on these book...more
Really liked this, felt it was even better than the 1st one. I like how the plot builds and there's a lot of good cliff hangers throughout. I think the story about Stephan and Jessica was a little odd as it didn't have much to do with the main plot, but on the other hand, it served as a pause in the action and suspense. I liked the new characters introduced, such as Nikol and Dmitry and how they made it hard to know who Trevor and Cassie could trust. In fact all the characters made for a pretty...more
I think Chris and Cecilia are GENIUS! I have been on the edge of my seat this whole series. The action and suspense is exhilarating....The romance is HOT! The story line is fabulous! I love everything about this series! Go read it if you haven't! Be sure to tell your friends also. This is definitely a must read!
This is the second book in the Countermeasure series and follows the adventures of Trevor and Cassandra in search for the truth behind the disappearance of Trevor's parents. I liked that the story had the main characters married and working together. However, I felt that the story dragged out and every couple seemed to have found their soulmates.

“If you think you can just scare the crap out of me and walk home like nothing happened you are very wrong, mister." Cassie's voice, although steady, was now seething with anger. "What the hell happened out there, Trevor!?"
Trevor checked his surroundings, crawled closer to the gate, and popped his head around the corner of the wall to check the house. Again, loud growls echoed in his ears and the gate shook under weight of a body butting up against it. The dogs were right in his face doing what they were trained to do—guard the property.
"Dogs, Cassie...big dogs happened.”
