From Romantic Book of the Year winner Kendall Talbot
comes an adrenaline-fuelled new series introducing sassy sexy characters,
exotic locations, and action-packed adventure.
Some secrets should remain hidden forever…
The last place Rosalina expected the clue to a
700-year-old mystery to lead her was back into the arms of Archer, the man who
broke her heart. When neither can solve the puzzle without the  other, they set off on a new adventure.
They’re forced to ignore the sparks that still fly unhindered between them as
their search for the golden riches weaves from Tuscany’s underbelly to Archer’s
luxurious yacht in the Greek Islands.
Archer desperately wants to salvage his shattered
relationship with Rosalina but fighting for her love soon takes a back seat to
fighting for their lives. Ruthless competition is hot on their heels and will
do anything to get his hands on the treasure. With evil close on their trail,
and Archer wrestling with the remnants of a childhood tragedy, Rosalina begins
to wonder if some secrets were never meant to be revealed.

My Review:

 

When I first saw the sign up for ‘Treasured Secrets’ I immediately
knew I really wanted to read this book. The cover looked so beautiful and the
book description made this book sound like a must read. So when I heard that I
would be a part of the blog tour I was super excited.
In ‘Treasured Secrets’ we meet Rosalina and Archer. Rosalina
and Archer have been together for almost three years, and although they are very
happy with each other there have always been secrets between them. Secrets
about Archer’s  nightmares and his past.
After Archer had yet another nightmare, Rosalina was determined to find out
more. Unfortunately Archer had decided that Rosalina was better off without
him.
Months later, when Rosalina is back in Italy she finds
something in a Church that reminds her of Archer. Soon Rosalina and Archer are
on a treasure hunt, and find themselves in danger from other treasure hunters.
Life has a lot of surprises ready for them.  
From the moment I started reading this book I was intrigued
by the characters. Rosalina is such a passionate and kind person. I loved how
all she really wanted was to help Archer, and make him see that love really is
worth it.
Archer was also very easy to like. He was just so
completely sure that he was incapable of loving another person, that he tried
to shut everyone out that came close to him.
But the thing I loved most about this book was the way it
took place in Australia, Italy and the Greek Islands, and the treasure hunting.
It was so fun to read about the characters finding clues about where the
treasure could possibly be. I loved how Kendall Talbot combined the romance
story with the treasure hunting.
The one down part about this book for me, was the way the
time went by really fast at times. One moment I was reading about Rosalina and
Archer being a couple, the next they were broken up and Rosalina was back in
Italy. It just felt a little sudden. It didn’t bother me so much that I didn’t like
the book, I just found myself being surprised at times about how fast the time
went by.
Overall I would really recommend this book to other
romance novel lovers. It’s a perfect romantic read combined with mystery and
action and an exciting treasure hunt. It was really a fun perfect weekend read.
