Critic reviews

"A first rate romantic suspense debut that combines pulse pounding action with...pulse pounding romance!" (Manda Collins, author of the Studies in Scandal series)

"Full of secrets, deadly intrigue and steamy romance. A must read." (Elisabeth Naughton, New York Times best-selling author)

good but older

I bought this immediately as I love Rachel grant and didn't realize it was an old book of hers until I got into it. but the story is interesting and the performance is great! it's a little long but overall if you love Rachel grant it's worth a listen.

Choices, lies and redemption

I loved, loved Erica and Lee’s exciting suspenseful romance with a side of secrets and betrayal. I fell directly into this story on the first page and only looked up after the last word. It was unputdownable. All of the unexpected plot twists made for a suspenseful mystery trying to guess what was going to happen next for the MCs and who were the bad guys. This story has a wonderful balance between the suspense, the intrigue, the mystery, and the swoony romance. All are crucial to the ebb and flow of the story. Erica trained as an underwater archeologist but a terrible choice and an evil man last year destroyed her career and feeling of safety. She is now using her other degree and working at Talon & Drake while trying to rebuild her life, find redemption, and exact revenge on the man who destroyed her old life. Lee is under cover as an intern at Talon & Drake looking for the person selling ancient artifacts through the company. Erica is his supervisor at the company and also a suspect. There is instant connection and attraction between the two but knowing they each have a hidden agenda and concealed pasts, they are both treading lightly. Nevertheless, their chemistry sizzled off the page and it pulled them together no matter how hard they tried to resist. The book has a little bit of everything just like you would expect from this genre - sweet moments, strong friendships, spicy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, dangerous moments, mystery, uber protective men, secrets, plot twists, painful pasts, evil actors, and love. The story included engaging dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and a captivating storyline. I cannot wait to read more in this series.

Nicol Zanzarella and Greg Tremblay did a phenomenal job narrating the stories and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Secrets and love…

Disgraced underwater archeologist, Erica, is struggling to make ends meet and rebuild her reputation. She intends to expose her former boss, and lover, for selling stolen artifacts, if she can just not get involved with the hot intern at her new job. Lee is working undercover at his former stepfather’s company to discover who has been using the company to smuggle stolen artifacts. His prime suspect is Erica.., he just has to resist falling for her. Secrets, lies, espionage..and love. You get it all in this fast paced story. Looking forward to more in the series.
