This marks the 35th book in the author's Stone Barrington series and, as has been the custom of late, it's a quickie at just 320 pages (although in fairness, the last couple have been even shorter). I also must admit that I've taken to calling the filthy rich, New York-based attorney "Stone Yawnington" simply because the action - what there is of it - is so understated that it's barely noticeable.
Maybe I've become used to it by now, though - I've read almost all of the books in the series - because this one surprised me by being quite enjoyable. Yes, the dialogue still borders on banal, but the story is interesting and (dare I say it) even a bit exciting in spots.
It begins as Barrington's major domo, Joan, informs him that she forgot to put a board meeting of one of his companies on his calendar - and oh by the way, it's to take place at noon the following day in Rome. With not the slightest hint of annoyance, he takes 5 minutes to arrange his travel, have his clothing and personal airplane for his return trip shipped to Rome and reserved a table for dinner that night complete with his choice of wine (okay, I'm kidding about that last one, but you get the point). His eleventh-hour reservation means he's relegated to the last available seat on the plane, poor baby, but things begin looking up when a beautiful woman is seated next to him. Just before take-off, as Barrington's always-good luck would have it, not one, but two seats open up in first-class - and he and his lovely companion move to more comfortable space. They get to know each other during the flight -- and for the record, by Chapter 5 they know each other really well (wink, wink).
The story, though, is the reason for the board meeting: The one-item agenda is to vote on purchasing a site for a new Arrington hotel (named for Barrington's late wife, who was richer than God). Approval is readily given - why the board couldn't have looked at photos and voted by phone is a mystery to me, but hey = I'm not among the rich or the famous. Barrington then contacts his hotel developer associate and gives the go-ahead. Another developer had started building a hotel on the site, but that project was abandoned, so plans call for utilizing the existing framework for the new Arrington.
But then, disaster strikes; almost before the ink is dry on the site purchase agreement, a mysterious fire destroys the existing structure. A little digging (pun intended) turns up evidence that the fire is a warning; apparently, new construction falls within the purview of the local Mafia, and in particular, an especially nasty character named Leonardo Casselli who's wanted in the United States. Leo, it seems, wants to make it clear that his palm must be greased by anyone encroaching on his territory. A few other "accidents" happen, and the chase is on to track down and arrest Casselli before he kills Barrington, the law enforcement heavyweights who have joined him and/or, of course, the fair lady who is the current apple of Barrington's eye.
As the more recent Barrington novels have gone, this is one captured my attention a bit more than most; if nothing else, it would make a good read on an airplane trip (even if you're sitting in coach) or wait in a doctor's office - I finished it easily in a single day.

ZERO STARS...well here we are again in Woods' "land of make believe". He hasn't written a good book in years and this one is a true stinker. Woods is the equivalent of a terrible car-crash - I don't want to read his nonsense but like a gawker at a car-crash I can't help myself. This one just stinks from the very first page and it has absolutely no redeeming qualities. The usual unbelievable coincidences are all present and the fact that Woods still makes it on to the best-seller lists just proves how dumb his fans are. I'm so glad that I didn't pay to read this tripe. As for the story.....NO SURPRISES HERE....there is no "ruddy" story and I found myself laughing out loud at the sheer stupidity of what I was reading. I could go on and on about Woods having sold-out years ago but what would be the point? If you have even half-a-brain you'll avoid this at all costs...wait, what does that say about me? Haha, I guess I live in hope that one day he'll just stop writing and that way he'll save me the embarrassment of stopping to "watch" the car wreck.

Reading Stuart Woods' Stone Barrington series is a bit like watching a soap opera, enjoyable in a candy binge kind of way, providing little in nutritional value, not requiring much in the way of intellectual output and usually no problem if you miss a few episodes. I can only hope that Woods had tongue firmly in cheek as he wrote "Foreign Affairs" (pun intended on the word Affairs). I used to faithfully follow Stone Barrington's exploits, reading each new novel until I realized that I could just change up the location, tweak the plot line a bit and voila - a new Stone Barrington novel would be born. I also chafed at spending $14 on a new Kindle edition when it barely took me a day or two to read. So I swore off the series a couple years ago but stumbled across "Foreign Affairs" on a trip to my local library and thought I'd give it another try since the price was right. And like all the earlier predecessors, "Foreign Affairs" was cut out of the same cloth only more so. Stone was always a ladies' man but this book takes his womanizing to new levels. In the early chapters, Stone meets Hedy on a plane ride to Europe (in the first class cabin of course) and from that brief encounter, she becomes his girlfriend, staying with him in his hotel in Italy and then traveling to his home in France. Such a deep connection is disrupted as Hedy is spirited away by evil men who conveniently enough do not harm a hair on her head. Stone comes to her rescue bringing together his merry band of compatriots from earlier books and goes so far as to brush up his piano playing skills so he can sneak into a party as the entertainment! Sometimes the outlandish plot lines can be fun but this time they were just plain silly. And, like the last time I watched "The Young and the Restless," I can probably last another couple of years until I read another in the Stone Barrington series.

I love Stone Barrington adventure. Fast pace fun read. I am going to borrow the audio CD from the library as well because I love the narrator in this series, so much fun to listen to.

I did not have a paramour of Stone’s or Dino’s wife putting a phone in their Vs as a plot point in a Stuart Woods book. Ick and Double ewwwwww
When you crank out 4 books a year you can’t expect quality. This series is really not what it once was. The plots are getting more outrageous and the plot holes bigger and bigger.
Hedy was the love interest in this one and she had as much personality as a toad. Stone is clueless and pretty naive for such a man whore.
The plot doesn’t improve and it ends on a cliffhanger so I’m going to read the next one. I know going in the plots will not improve. 😬😬😬. Que sera sera 😆

Well, we've come to number 35 in the Stone Barrington series. I read Foreign Affairs in one sitting. Who wouldn't want to be Stone? He's rich, good looking, has a great professional life and his friends are the President of the U.S. and the police commissioner of NYC. He could pick up a woman in the men's room at La Guardia, or in this case Hedy on a flight from Kennedy to Rome. Stone brefriends the woman and she ends up in his bed (no surprise there). What she doesn't count on is Stone making enemies with a Mafia boss and his minions who want to exhort money from his hotel project. His friend Dino, the police commissioner and his wife Viv come to the rescue and they fight the bad guys with the help of the President, the CIA, the Italian Mafia Task Force, and any other number of other agencies (it pays to have friends in high places). Hedy gets herself kidnapped and Stone is pitted against the Mafia Don who wants to use the girl to get to Stone. I liked this book so much better than the last one. It was a slower build, written against the backdrop of Rome and Paris, and features his best relationship, his friend Dino. I'm always disappointed when I blow through a Stone Barrington book, but it gives me something to look forward to in three months.

Stone is driven by Dino with lights flashing to catch a last minute flight for a meeting in Rome with his French buddy Marcel to finalize the purchase of a new Arrington Hotel property. Of course, Stone hooks up with a pretty artist on the flight, and then trouble ensues when the local Mafioso wants protection money. Stone tells the guy to get stuffed, gets protection from the local CIA and Strategic Services so they grab the girl as a hostage. She is the step-daughter of an American insurance magnate, who calls in some favors from the Vatican to pressure for the girl's safe return. Some funny situations, but Woods' typical light, formulaic fare.

Maybe I should give it 2 stars because I was laughing so hard reading this I thought I would pee my pants. Where did Stuart Woods go or at least his writing ability and memory. Case in point page 68 Hedy, Stones new girl of the moment tells Stone, "I can pick a lock" skip to page 235, poor Hedy is kidnapped and her thoughts are "She didn't know much about picking locks"! If a writer is going to give a character in his book a unique ability like knowing how to pick locks, think he would remember it. Over all the worst book I have read of Woods, just happy I borrowed this from the library and did not pay for it.

Just like the others…only this time in Rome. I’m seriously taking a break from this series. It’s like Hallmark movies. Same plot, different characters. I will eventually finish the series.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. The book I won is an uncorrected proof. This was the first book I read by this author. I was very disappointed. I think he had an okay way of writing but I could hardly stand Stone...the main character. He seemed to brag and throw his power around. This book was boring to say the least. This man jets around...of course in his private jet...except the time the poor man had to fly commercial. The book seemed unreal or almost childish to me. Stone is being chased by the mafia because he is buying a property to put up a new hotel in Rome. At one point Stone says "We're going to need a ride to Ciampino Airport tomorrow morning, early before the Mafia wakes up. Eight o'clock should be okay" Right after he says this he finds the words "GO HOME" written on his bedspread in what appears to be blood. At this point he asks to leave at 7 am. Really? This kingpin mafia guy is after you and you move your time up by 1 hour? But then again...he seems to think that the mafia doesn't get out of bed until after 8 am. Wonder what time they go to bed? Later in the book his "girlfriend" is kidnapped and he tells her to hide her cell phone in her crotch...didn't quite understand this...as I am sure the mafia would never look up a girls crotch. Enough said. I was just very disappointed in this book.

This was a typical Stone Barrington, fast moving, complex, character driven with a great plot and Stone to save the day. Like every other Barrington novel, it was well written and well worth reading.

Entertaining and enjoyable! This is 35th in...the series and I loved them all.

This is, of course, a typical Stone Barrington book. They have become so cookie cutter, that I would be surprised if they weren't completely farfetched and implausible. So, why would I continue to read them? Because I know what I'm getting, and sometimes I want something quick and mindless to read.

This book was pretty ho-hum for me. Stone gets the details that he has a board meeting in Rome the next day, Dino has him driven to the airport with sirens and lights in order to make the last minute flight and he meets an artist on the plane. Hedley is on her way to Rome to paint and finds that her apartment is not yet ready for her. Surprise, surprise - she stays with Stone at his hotel. Neither one knows a darn thing about the other yet clothes come off. Hedley and Stone then find themselves in danger when a project to a new hotel Arrington in Rome hits a snafu when a local mafia guy wants it shut down until he is paid his "dues". Stone and his main partner, Marcel, don't cave and all kinds of threats are made. Hedley finds herself in danger (even though she didn't listen to instructions) and Stone finds himself in the position of having to get his "girlfriend" back. It was all a quick read but kind of shallow. I fear that one day Stone's impetuousness in finding women is going to burn him but good. It did end on a cliffhanger so I guess we shall see where this goes.

I feel like I've started this book before. The man who has more money and connections than, than character. Reminded me of James Bond,

Back to being stone centric so I liked this better than the last book but the ending was definitely a cliffhanger. Need to read the next book now although I was going to anyway. 🤣

Stone always comes out on top. No matter how dire the situation.

While this novel is not the most exciting I've read recently in its genre, it was a good read. A very wealthy former cop turned investor has to fly to Rome at the last minute for a business meeting (because video-conferencing is out of the question? I was never quite sure why he needed to be in Rome right away or what he was there for once he was there.). He meets a pretty artist on the flight, and hooks up with her for much of the rest of the book. They enjoy the jet-set lifestyle of fine foods, fine wines and expensive hotels, flitting from one city to the next as the Mafia starts to take an uncomfortable interest in them. Somewhere in all this Barrington (our protagonist) is also 'working', as a lawyer, though there is practically nothing to show that he does anything for a living besides spend money and travel. His fantasy-worthy connections with the CIA, the President, and just about anyone else with significant political power makes him a sort of super-hero within his genre. The focus in this book on how Barrington maneuvers his assets to try to stay a step ahead of the Mafia makes this an interesting take on the crime/legal thriller adventure.
My biggest beef with this book? Barrington and everyone else refer to the US President as President Kate. If a female President is elected to office in the US, she should be referred to using her last name. President Reagan would not be called President Ronald, nor would the 2 President Bushes be called President George, so why would it be at all appropriate to call a female President by her first name?

Stone heads off to Europe on a mandatory business adventure. As he arrives and becomes comfortable in hotel it is only to realize that even though normally a pleasurable business trip is becoming a series of events that nothing is what it seems. Are these events related? What is the common thread tying them all together? Stone must take the next step in the hunt and the hunter game regardless if he wants to play or not.
OO7 has nothing on Barrington. He suave, charming , handsome, and rich. Who could resist that…The plot is outstanding in intrigue with many twists and turns. I did find his escapades to be laugh out load funny at times. I suppose that comes from living a charmed life of finery of wine, woman, and basically any whim being fulfilled. Barrington is a marvel in the investigation, with help from some influential friends and lovers will amazing and entertain you throughout the entire story.
I really did enjoy the read. I am sure to be in the market for more of Barrington and his adventures. A breath of fresh air.

September 21, 20212018: Stone heads to Rome on short notice for an Arrington board meeting. He meets a beautiful and friendly woman on the plane, which is no big surprise since God forbid he hang out alone. Unpleasant things suddenly start happening upon his arrival and he doesn't know why. It becomes clear that an Italian Mafia don, formerly of New York, wants a piece of the action and isn't above destruction violence and kidnapping to get what he wants.
This book again ends on sort of a cliff hanger, which is annoying even though the story is resolved.
2021: It was very apparent that Stone is well connected in this book and how connections can help a person. There are a lot of interesting characters in this book, especially the various police and CIA officers.
I was little more annoyed by this cliffhanger, though I got the next book, Scandalous Behavior right away and continued on with the story.

This is quite possibly one of the worst books I've read since I started reading in 1959. This "Stone Barrington" character is some sort of amalgam of various super heroes and the author's fever dream ideas of what a lead character is supposed to be.
He's on the phone with the President of the US, then he's being visited by a Cardinal, and now he's talking to the head of MI6, and now he's pretending to be blind and playing piano at a posh Italian party. Give me a break. And the token sex-toy female/girlfriend...he knows only because he happened to sit next to her on a plane? After which they were somehow BOTH miraculously moved to First Class? And three days later he's risking life and limb to save her?
The Barrington character is a pompous ass who snaps his fingers, makes a phone call, and miracles just continue to happen in his perfect and exciting world. Eye-rolling world was more like it.

(3) What could be better than a long baseball game at night followed by a crisp fall day? A new Stone Barrington book to accompany them with, that's what. Lots of Stone, lots of story, lots of plotting and planning and dealing with a not too bad, bad guy. What fun. Woods cranks these books out every 3 months and I never get tired of them, they are so entertaining. The writing is fluid, consistent and right on target. There are already publication dates scheduled for the next two. Sign me up!

I received an ARC for this book, so I thought I'd better hide it behind spoilers. Popcorn! Beach read! Stone is targeted by the Italian Mafia after he invests in a new hotel. It's a mix of international intrigue and the usual cast of characters. I find myself getting jealous of the way Stone can throw money at problems to make them go away, but this was a very fun read.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

3.6. I enjoyed this Stuart Woods book. In fact, I felt it's one of his best in the Stone Barrington series I've read in a couple of years. It was an easy read and fast paced. Stone said how smart Hedy was...so why did she leave the place in Paris when Stone told her to wait till later?! The story felt a little "James Bondish"... minus the special gadgets.
March 1, 2017
The only reason I read this entire book was because I had nothing else to read. I was astonished at the lack of description or detail. There was absolutely no fleshing out of details and was more like reading the outline to a novel than the actual work. This was my first book to read by Stuart Woods and will definitely be my last.

The typical Stuart Woods' Stone Barrington novel. Succinct, short chapters describing incredible wealth, very casual sex, delicious food and not much plot. But, hey, I needed something easy after finishing a Stephen King trilogy!

Typical Stone Barrington adventure. Meets a beautiful woman who throws herself at him; gets in trouble with a mafioso and rescues the damsel in distress. All of course while eating the best, driving the best, and drinking the best.

Stone Barrington meets girl, sleeps with her, tangles with Italian mafia, girl is kidnapped, Stone and Dino (and others) arrest mafia leader, and rescue girl. Sounds familiar.
