Finding undiscovered treasures is always daring, dangerous, and deadly. Perfect for the men and women of Treasure Hunter Security.Former Navy SEAL and CIA agent Ronin Cooper is used to living his life in the darkness. A loner by nature, he enjoys his work at Treasure Hunter Security, stays busy on the road, and never lets anyone too close. That is until he notices a mystery redheaded woman … redheaded woman spying on him and his colleagues. Then he finds himself sucked into a dangerous rescue mission to Antarctica with a fiery, outspoken woman who pushes every one of his buttons.
Peri Butler will do anything to save her sister. The experienced polar guide knows the deadly black-market antiquities ring, Silk Road, has her twin, but Peri isn’t sure who she can trust. She wants to believe Treasure Hunter Security can help, and soon finds herself facing off with the dark, intense, enigmatic Ronin.
As their mission takes them into the frigid ice and snow of Antarctica, Peri and Ronin’s intense attraction generates a lot of heat. Drawn irresistibly closer, they work to track down Silk Road and Peri’s sister, but what they find buried in the ice could threaten everything. Ronin will sacrifice it all to protect Peri, while she will take every risk, not only to save her sister, but to break through the protective shell around Ronin’s heart.
Note to readers: This action-adventure romance contains a lot of action (think wild chases and ancient treasures), cool offsiders (sexy former Navy SEALs) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between an outspoken polar guide agent a tough, sexy SEAL). This is treasure hunting Navy SEAL style. So if you like it fast, and fun, and sexy, this is for you!

Q & A with the Author
Q – How would you describe Treasure Hunter Security?
A – Treasure hunting Navy SEAL style! I like to call this my Indiana Jones romance series. All the books star tough, sexy former Navy SEALs who now work for Treasure Hunter Security. Dangerous archeological digs – no problem. Daring expeditions – sure thing. Museum security for invaluable exhibits – easy. Each book has a fast, fun thrill-ride adventure set in some exciting locales.
Q – Why did you want to write the series?
A – I love action, adventure and romance. I have also always been a huge fan of ancient history. In Treasure Hunter Security, I get to combine my passions: action, adventure, sexy romance and some real-life history, myths and legends. I do a lot of research for these books. Each story explores some ancient myth or legendary treasure and takes us to something thrilling locations: from the desert sands of Egypt to the dense jungles of Cambodia to the cloud forests of the Andes.
Q – What order should I read the books in?
A – All the Treasure Hunter Security books are stand-alone adventures. However, characters from the early stories do appear in later books, and there is a slight overarching story with the black-market antiquities thieves our heroes face. So I think it adds something to the reading experience to read them in order. Here’s the order I suggest:
Treasure Hunter Security
Book 1 – Undiscovered (Declan and Layne’s story)
Book 2 – Uncharted (Callum and Dani’s story)
Book 3 – Unexplored (Logan and Sydney’s story)
Book 4 – Unfathomed (Morgan and Zach’s story)
Book 5 – Untraveled (Hale and Elin’s story)
Book 6 – Unmapped (Ronin and Peri’s story)
Book 7 – Unidentified (novella duo) – coming 2018
Book 8 – Undetected (Darcy and Agent Burke’s story) – coming 2018

Her sister is also a guide and hasn’t been heard from since taking a job with, what they now know is, the dangerous black-market antiquities ring, Silk Road. THS agrees to help find, and rescue her sister. Peri has clues, that her sister left for her, that has them trailing this deadly organization to Antarctica. Ronin is former SEAL, and ex CIA and has seen too much tragedy, making him feel he is better off alone. Peri and her sister have grown up all over the world, and now she just wants to put down roots.

Original review: https://myshelfbooks.wordpress.com/2020/08/15/review-unmapped-by-anna-hackett/
Adventure, Frenzy: As always, this is the main strength of this saga (and possibly this author). Easy-to-read short books with action cramped everywhere so you don’t have a single moment to get bored. Perfect book to read when you are feeling lazy.
Weak: The previous books of this series had juicy cultural tidbits that made them special. Even though this one has some of that, the amount pales in comparision with the stories that came before. It is a shame.
Bad sex: By now I know I will find insta-love in this books, so I activate the proper mindset to try to enjoy it. In this case is so “insta” that is even fun. The uthor goes even crazier about the places the main couple chooses to get naughty. My probelm resides that in this case, the decision of having sex is taken only by Ronin. He feels like having sex and he goes for it. No questions asked. I’m not saying that Peri is not a willing participant, but going full contact with someone without a previous hint or insinuation is just wrong.
Peridot ” Peri” Butler has been stalking THS to find out if they can be trusted. She needs help saving her twin sister from Silk Road. Unfortunately she isn’t very good at going unnoticed and is caught multiple times by Ronin. Ronin wants to know why this beautiful redhead is spying on him and finds himself with another mission against Silk Road, this time to Antarctica.
I really liked Peri. She is an experienced polar guide and world traveler. She is smart, sassy, and isn’t afraid to say what she feels. I love how she is constantly pushing Ronin to open up and feel again. She doesn’t let him hide his feelings. Ronin was an interesting character. He has had a rough upbringing and his time in the SEALs and CIA did not help matters. I wish we could have seen more development with him and overcoming his past.
I quite enjoyed this visit to Antarctica. It was a very fascinating ancient civilization and had some interesting dangers. I love how unique the sites are for this series. We have been to Egypt, underwater, and now in the arctic finding treasure. This series makes me so happy and pushes me to learn more about ancient civilizations (which I already love learning about).
I can’t wait for Darcy and Alistair’s book. These two have been bumping heads since the beginning and I know it’s going to be a good story.
Oh in the name of all that’s good – I need to work at THS! With all these hot, muscled, not too mention damn talented, men floating around – I’d kill for this eye candy. But hot as they are, they are also highly deadly and with a few chinks and dings in the armour around their hearts, they are just flawed enough to make them believable.
Ronin’s back story is enough to make your heart hurt and although he has not let it define who he is, it has definitely made an impact on his life choices. Peri is just so…perky! She should be annoying or at least irksome but no she slid right under the radar and I LOVED her!
The backdrop of Antarctica was a brilliant change and I could tell how much research had gone into depicting the geography and even the conspiracy theories of what is under all that ice! Agent Arrogant and Annoying makes a little deal with Darcy, which I’m sure is going to come back and bite her in the butt!
Unmapped takes us to a whole new part of the world – Antarctica. Taking a page from internet chatter, Ms. Hackett builds on it with the idea of a long lost advanced civilization that may have had a location in the frozen wastes in the extreme southern continent. Peri, a polar guide, and Ronin, one of THS’s darkest members embark on a rescue mission to find her missing sister.
The action, as well as the heat that fans expect carry the story line to it’s conclusion.
