One former Navy SEAL. One adventurous photographer. One lost jungle temple.Former Navy SEAL Callum Ward has one motto–live life to the fullest. He saw the worst of war and lost good friends, but now he works for Treasure Hunter Security. When he’s not providing security for archeological digs and invaluable museum exhibits, or off on daring treasure hunts, he’s rock climbing, racing, or skiing. … racing, or skiing. Nothing–and no one–has ever tempted him to slow down…until on an expedition into the Cambodian jungle, he has to work with one opinionated, prickly photographer, Dani Navarro. But soon their straight-forward trek to find a lost temple turns deadly, and Cal and Dani find themselves under attack from a dangerous black-market antiquities ring prepared to kill.
Dani Navarro lives for her photography. For years, it’s been her escape from her family and their frivolous lifestyle, affairs, and dramas. With her camera in hand, she travels the world, capturing other people’s moments and avoiding messy entanglements. At first, she thinks Cal Ward is no different from all the other men she’s known, but as their expedition turns into a hazardous dash through uncharted jungle, she uncovers a tough, intelligent, and sexy protector. Together, they must outwit their pursuers and find not only a lost temple…but a priceless, powerful artifact.
Note to readers: This action-adventure romance contains a lot of action (think lost temples and wild chases through the jungle), cool offsiders (sexy former Navy SEALs) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between a former SEAL and an independent photographer). This is treasure hunting Navy SEAL style. So if you like it fast, and fun, and sexy, this is for you!

About Anna: I’m passionate about all things action romance. I love stories that combine the thrill of falling in love with the excitement of action, danger and adventure. I write about people overcoming unbeatable odds and achieving seemingly impossible goals. I like to believe it’s possible for all of us to do the same.

Callum Ward is sent to the Cambodian jungle to protect an archaeologist group. He quickly realizes this isn’t going to be an easy security job, especially since there is a prickly and opinionated photographer who he can’t stop thinking about. Things quickly turns dangerous when Silk Road, a black-market antiques group, show up to steal an artifact from the site.
I really liked Dani Navarro. She has an eye for beauty and capturing the essence of a moment through her camera. She uses her camera to hide from the world and prevent connections from forming. I quite enjoyed her spunkiness and how she didn’t fall for Cal’s smooth talking in the beginning. Cal was an alpha male and adventure junkie. These two learned to lean on each other and how to open themselves up to feelings again. I quite enjoyed their adventure.
I can’t wait to read Logan’s story because he needs a HEA.
This second book in the Treasure Hunter Security series is another thrilling, action packed adventure! This is Cal and Dani’s suspenseful and sizzling story. Ex Navy Seal, Callum “Cal” Ward runs Treasure Hunter Security with his siblings. He lives life to the extreme, not wanting to settle down. He has been hired to protect a group going on an expedition into the Cambodian jungle. This group includes a courageous, prickly, sexy photographer, Dani Navarro, She would rather view life through the lense than intereact with insincere, shallow people. She gets one look at the charming, sexy security expert, and doesn’t think he is any different. But as they get deeper into the jungle and encounter dangers of all kinds, Cal and Dani learn that first impressions can be deceiving. Dani discovers an honorable, kind, sexy protector who makes her desire things she never expected. Cal finds the brave, independant woman makes him want more as well. But a dangerous group of thieves are hot on their heels, wanting the priceless artifacts they are in search of. If the thieves don’t kill them first, the dark, dangerous jungle just might. I am really loving this fast paced, exciting series. Just imagining these daring adventures to find fabled treasure is so provocative, and Hackett does a great job making us feel all the excitiment. Stella Bloom’s fabulous narration also helps to make us feel like we are right there in the middle of all the action! She delivers all the excitement, emotion, wit, and steam, bringing these characters and story to life, beautifully. This was so much fun, I can’t wait to listen to the next books in Teasure Hunter Security series!
Another great action adventure romance from Anna Hackett! The story is full non-stop action, lots of danger and suspense.
I enjoyed Dani’s spitfire nature and her attempts to see the beautiful in everything she photographed. Callum was a great alpha hero and I liked when he tried to get Dani to just experience where she was before diving into her photography. We also got to see more of the other Treasure Hunter Security crew and I can’t wait to have Morgan’s story because she’s awesome.
f you want some romance with your action give this a try.
Original review: https://myshelfbooks.wordpress.com/2019/06/02/uncharted-anna-hackett/
Sometimes, aiming for simple is what makes something greater. I think this could be the case of the Treasure Hunter Security series. I know this is just the second book of the saga, but I’m startintg to see the pattern. Quick romance full of action is nothing that will rock your world forever, but it will keep you entertain long enough. Perfect book to just relax reading.
This time we follow Declan’s brother, Callum, in a journey to Cambodia for a mission that didn’t look that difficult. He just has to make sure a group of archeologists and a photographer are safe while searching for a forgotten temple. The mentioned photographer is not other than Dani Navarro, a tough woman who doesn’t fall for Cal’s charm at first sight. What started as a promising journey, becomes a run for their lives…
I said the same thing with the first book: the little facts and curiosities about the Cambodian history and mythology are the true treasure of the story. They are simple unexpected. They are introduced during the book with an easiness worthy of any good educational article meant for the general public. A small and entertaining history lesson is not something you expect in a Romance book of this kind, so it needs to be praised properly!!
The pace is non-stop action. I think more or less the first two books are similar in size, but this second one felt shorter. Not a single stop for breathing, between meeting the characters, the journey and the constant danger they have to endure. There is not a single dull moment or uneventful passage. But even though everything goes fast, there is enough time to get to know the main characters. Maybe not enough to make them special, but just the right amount of it to make the story work.
As I said before, the characters, Cal and Dani, are OK but nothing worth mentioning beyond that. Their dynamic is pretty classic: “I’m the over confident hunk who is going to be in your bed no matter what” opposite to the “I’m the strong woman who refuses your charm like for ten seconds before investing all in“. Even though is crazy fast, I have less issues believing this romance than the one in the previous book. Don’t ask me why. They somehow feel more real. And yet is not good enough to really enjoy the sex scenes. There are not many, but it is the only part of the book that I wished were shorter. It just took room from the good parts!! And having sex in the middle of an ancient temple can’t be healthy…
The book is pure enjoyment and I will keep reading this saga if this is what I’m going to get. Simple book, but very effective.
I do think I even preferred this second story to the first one.
I loved both main characters, each with its flaws and talents.
Callum like all Mrs Anna Hackett’s heroes has physical and mental scars, which he hides behind a cheerful and hyperactive personality while in fact he jumps from one activity to another to avoid commitment.
Dani comes from a fractured family where appearance, money are what drives it, plus cheating on the others. Why retreated from life and now observes it through the lenses of her camera.
Both in fact are running away from relationship, one afraid to be hurt, the other not believing it lasts.
I do loved their journey together to find another, it had its usual actions, bad guys and mystery to solve plus some sexy times.
This time we are transported to the steamy jungle of Cambodia.Cal is hired to protect an archaeological expedition where Dani is the photographer.But they are attacked in the jungle by Silk Road, and several are wounded. Cal and Dani are attacked and separated. Callum is forced to call for backup, and to figure out exactly what it is that those keen archaeologists neglected to tell him.
This second book in the series is great.
I Highly Recommend It.
Callum is the adrenaline junkie, death defying stunt loving part-owner of Treasure Hunter Security. he feels he has to live life to the fullest after the death of his buddy. When he is sent to Cambodia to help protect an expedition to find a lost temple with a bunch of archaeologists he thinks it’s just one in another long line of jobs. Little does he know that the most spine tingling journeys aren’t necessarily spent hanging from rock faces!!
Daniela Navarro is a child of privilege but she ran from her pampered life style. She was sick of being an object that got wheeled out at functions and then promptly forgotten about. She learned the hard way that “love” is to easily banded about, especially by men. Men like Cal!! This tightly muscled warrior may be just what the team needs to protect them but she can handle herself just fine!!! She is tagging along to take shots of the ancient site. But as the callous Silk Road thieves rear their heads again, Cal and Dani face more action than even Cal feels comfortable with. When they finally call in the Cavalry they have to stay alive long enough to be saved!
Cal continues in the rip roaring style I’m becoming accustomed to in this new, earth bound, adventure series. He is a brilliant mix of alpha but caring and supportive! Dani is defo able to take care of herself but she does tend to stand in her own way, cutting off relationships before they can break her very fragile and much repaired heart!!! I’m so looking forward to Logan’s story – old McGrumpypants himself LOL!!
