About the Book:
A lost treasure, a mysterious disappearance, and a deadly family secret—but winning her heart might be the real challenge.
Steamboat Captain Camilla Lockhart discovers a handsome stranger on board with an offer he claims she can't refuse. If he thinks she will get involved in another hopeless treasure quest, he's lost his sunbaked mind. Not after what happened to her father. But with her boat falling apart and her crew about to starve, Mr. Gray's unusual proposal might be her only hope.Daniel Gray inherited a host of problems, including a clue that could unlock old family secrets and a treasure that’s long since faded to lore. His father left him with only one name—Lockhart. But when he hires the striking, yet unconventional, steamboat captain to help him navigate the treacherous waters of the Mississippi River, he never expects his heart to get tangled in the currents. With a criminal operation’s net tightening around them, the two must battle against time to uncover a lost family treasure and solve a mysterious disappearance before the men hunting them from the shadows discover the dangerous truth.
My Review:
This is such a fun treat to read! Camilla Lockhart is unlike any female character I have read about due to her profession. She is a female river boat captain who is skilled in navigating the Mississippi River. I loved her honesty and her faith. Camilla’s saying of, “snakes and salt water” had me smiling every time she said it. Her unique sayings and descriptions of people and circumstances really brought her character to life.
The adventure of searching for a family treasure and unraveling suspicions that both Camilla and Daniel Gray have about the circumstances of their father’s brief partnership add a tension to their relationship. As they get to know each other I was happy to see their romance develop.
Things to love:
Unique boat crew
A sweet boy
A lovable dog
The Devil’s Punchbowl
Danger and suspense
Second chances
Faith element
Favorite quotes:
“Papa always said the trials mold a man. He can be shaped into something harder.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Strong endures. It shelters others. A hard man forgets everything but the pain and builds walls to keep others out.”
This is a part of the River Romances series, but it can be read as a standalone since each book is independent of each other. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views are only my opinion. I was not required to write a positive review.
