Treasured lies asap…it’s a sure-fire winner!
From the first chapter of Treasured Lies (Treasure Hunters #2) by Kendall Talbot I knew that this would be a tense nail-biter contemporary romantic thriller just like the first book had been. While the villain in the first book had been vile he had neither the money nor the power that this new villain does. So now there is new danger when the old danger is not completely resolved. Wow.
The diving treasure hunt and suspense take precedence over the romance in this story. That is okay with me because Rosalina and Archer belong together, working together as they are in this story. Jimmy, Helen, Ginger and Alessandro round out the supporting cast. Characters I have learned to love along with Archer and Rosalina. Besides the remarkable suspenseful edge to the story, the story come to life with descriptions of the colorful and lush as the underwater diving scenes and the surrounding Greek Islands.
This Treasure Hunters Series is one that should be read in order. Treasured Lies begins soon after the first book, Treasured Secrets finishes. In fact the beginning chapter may be confusing for some who had not read the first book thought reading on would clear up much of that. Since this trilogy does seem to be written as a continuation of one larger story, I highly suggest they be read in order. Much of the first book is Archer dealing with his past while this one has him more in his rightful element. Treasured Lies is an incredible read that continues the high octane ride of the first book. Now I can’t wait to read the third!
The publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC of the book which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Treasured Lies #2 – As interesting as Secrets was, Lies tops it. Full of adventure, action, danger and new characters made this an even more difficult book to put down. A robust tapestry woven from the old and the new storylines blended with new characters and strengthened by vivid descriptions from this talented writer brings to life the hardships, surprises, pains and joys experienced by all.
There is romance, some shocking. There are some weird and some beautiful supporting characters that a richness in happenings and a expansive range of emotions. I was almost lulled into believing a person could change. 5*
Treasured Secrets #1 – This is my first read by this author and I enjoyed it immensely. There are multiple storylines that range over a period of time and lay the foundation to this series. This book does not end in a cliffhanger but there are two more books.
The story is well written and the author has a laid back, easy to read style. The pace is continuously eating up the pages that keep the reader immersed and involved until the end.
The main characters are well developed and their mature dialogues are realistic. There are a couple of quick sex scenes and rare vulgar language, for those who care about this information. Written sex is boring and I don’t care for vulgar. I contacted the author to review her books. 4*
Treasured Dreams #3 – This book picks up five weeks after Lies ends. After the rollercoaster ride that Lies was, this is a nice relaxing walk in the park, but there is still plenty of adventure between its covers. There is fun, excitement and surprises with another treasure hunt. Family is important but difficult to handle in a couple cases and Nonna tells the truth about the family in the end, surprising Rosalina again. Quickly read but entertaining. 4*
Breathless Encounters – This is a collection of short stories, which have a paragraph at the end of each explaining the source of their inspiration. Well written and quickly read in one sitting. Perfect for a coffee break or a cuppa and a snuggle with a fur baby. 5*
The Blue Diamond – It is not what she, or her step-siblings, think it is, but she thanks her Poppa for everything he left her.
Stolen Love – Beautiful story but so sad.
Creepy Neighbor – Disguised, a hidden blessing.
The Plumbers Secret – A cute beginning to a sweet romance. Delightful.
Charlie’s Angel – The beginning of the romance of the parents of the author.
Breathless Encounters end.
This is the second addition in this series. Archer continues his exploration of the sunken ship and its treasure in Greece. Rosalina is by his side and helps with the hunt. Their enemies Nox and Ignatius both feel the treasure belongs to them. The book keeps your interest and I want to read the next one in the series
Another fun, interesting treasure hunting premise! Plus, more passion and romance between Archer and Rosalina. Archer, Rosalina, and the others have found treasure and are trying to keep it a secret. Unfortunately, a vicious competing treasure hunter causes major problems for them. Also, unhinged Nox is still on the loose. I could’ve done without so many Nox POV chapters; a bit boring and slowed the story down. Still not a fan of Ginger or Jimmy, and not loving Alessandro either. Rosalina and Archer have great chemistry, but Rosalina doesn’t like how obsessed Archer seems about treasure hunting, so that causes some contention. Archer is in for some major surprises! More story to be told in the next book; looking forward to it!
This is such a great series and Kendall Talbot really knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seats in the most stunning locations, with fabulous strong characters that are easy to get to know come along for the second one in this series and have some more exciting and dangerous times with Archer, Rosalina along with their friends to find the treasure lost at sea over 700 years ago.
Archer and Rosalina have finally found the treasure that Archer’s father had been looking for, the 13th century shipwreck is theirs and it is filled with the most beautiful golden relics, it takes a while for them to get the load on the beautiful yacht Evangeline and Rosaline is glad that Jimmy is finally able to help and Alessandro as well after recovering from being injured and spending time in hospital, having everyone together is cause for celebrations or will history repeat itself and trouble return?
Archer is wary and with good reasons as someone from his past is doing his best to take what is not his and again this puts the woman he loves in danger as well as the his friends Jimmy, Alessandro, Ginger and his mother who are there for him, they have already been through this type of thing before and no one is going to take what they don’t deserve without a fight.
This is an action packed story, danger at every turn lots of suspense and of course a gorgeous setting and as well a beautiful romance, I really love Archer and Rosalina they are so suited to each other their romance sizzles. I loved this one as much as the first one and am really looking forward to the third book to see what happens next when they all go looking for another treasure haul will past enemies re-surface? Or will new ones find that they want the haul without the work to get it? I do highly recommend this one.
My thanks to the author for my copy to read and review.
The Adventure Continues…
The adventure continues from Treasured Secrets, and we learn more about the main characters, their relationships and their stories. Kendall does a good job weaving the story and she also takes us through some lovely locales as well as the story continues to unfold.
The “crew” is busy finding and mining an ancient treasure, but the baddies and their cronies are not far away. One of the antagonists is really hard to eliminate and won’t stop.
Lots of adventure, intrigue, exotic places, interesting characters and fun reading.
I definitely recommend this book and the series through Books 1 & 2.
Really enjoyed treasured lies! A real page turner
Adventure. Romance. Action. Suspense. This book has it all! The race for the treasure continues in Book Two. The twists, turns and thrills keep on coming right up to the cliffhanger ending. I cannot wait to read what happens next!
Treasured Lies is the second book in the Treasure Hunters series and is an action-packed romantic suspense novel.
I am loving this series. The characters are intelligent and likable. The story captured my interest from the start (with a glimpse of Nox) to the finish (which I won’t tell you). This book has it all: danger, drama, suspense, secrets, intrigue, international locations, and romance.
I cannot wait to see what happens for Archer and Rosalina in the next book in this series.
I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
This is the 2nd book in the treasure hunter series. This book is full of twists and turns danger suspense and action. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC.
Sunken Treasure in The Greek Isles
This adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat with all of the twists and turns. The story picks up where the first book left off. It also ends at the beginning of the next adventure. Seven-hundred-year-old treasure is sitting at the bottom of the ocean, waiting to be found. There are many wanting the treasure and they don’t care who has it, they will get it. The plot of this adventure is busy! There are exciting finds, gruesome attacks, nature’s beauty, and love. This book is great, the series is a wild ride. Indiana Jones, step aside!
