The right murder. The wrong person. The perfect love story.

Jewelle Dawson has spent 7 years in The Witness Protection Program. She testified against the Gambrelini Crime Family.
Even though she knows the mob is still after her, she decides to take a 4 week Mediterranean cruise on a luxury cruise ship called the 'Emerald of the Seas'. There Jewelle meets two gorgeous men, a bestselling author, makes a new best friend and meets other interesting cruise goers.




This book was such a fun read, I found myself staying up later and later each night to continue reading. The plot is interesting, there isn't a dull moment. The characters are well written and likeable. This book was hard to put down. There's a diverse cast of characters and mystery in the plot. Plus the author adds the perfect dash of romance as well. Inga Ellzey makes each character so real, they seem like everyday people.




Jewelle meets several people during her cruise and the plot definitely thickens. There's a few O-M-G moments as the storyline twists and turns. I really kept being surprised by what kept happening next.




I also like the way the author describes the cruise and the everday things that you enjoy while aboard a cruise ship.

But the adventure did not start for Jewelle in Barcelona. It was just an appetizer. The real meal was just being served as the eighteen-story tall cruise ship sailed into the dark, blue waters of the Mediterranean, through the Straits of Gibraltar towards the Atlantic Ocean.


She was in her cabin unpacking when the captain's announcement came over the loudspeaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We hope you all enjoyed our last port of call, Barcelona, Spain. Those of you who have just boarded our ship, on behalf of Royal Oceanic Cruise Lines, I would like to welcome you to the Emerald of the Seas."

The sequel to this book is called 'The Foundation' due out early next year. I definitely want to read it!


If you're looking for a fast paced, interesting read with mystery and romance, grab a copy of The Exchange.




About the Author: Inga C. Ellzey. Defying the odds, achieving her dreams. Who could imagine that little girl stepping off the boat from war-torn Germany back in 1955 would grow up to be a successful American businesswoman, nationally recognized expert in her field, and author of a groundbreaking novel. Inga Ellzey has made a career and a life, out of defying the odds and achieving her dreams. From her humble beginnings as an immigrant child, she has risen through hard work, ambition and a belief in herself to become a model of today’s successful American woman.As owner and president of the Inga Ellzey Practice Group, Inc., Inga advises physicians across the nation on medical billing practices. She is a leading authority in this field, and has written, taught and lectured extensively over the past two decades. She also works to improve the lives of others through her involvement in numerous civic, social and charitable organizations. Now, Inga is the proud author of The Exchange, a novel that blends romance, mystery and adventure into an unforgettable tale of passion, drama and suspense. She wrote the book in 2007 in Yorkshire, England, where she was inspired by the solitude of the 16th century farmhouse where she was staying.



“I didn’t write The Exchange to just make money,” Inga says. “I wrote it to achieve my dream of having a second career as a novelist.”


For Inga Ellzey, The Exchange is yet another dream come true.
