Action, adventure, danger, strong character and great developing relationships all worked together for an excellent read.
Kris Bock knocks it out of the park again with her amazing ability to weave action, romance, treasure hunting, and humor into a great book! This quest will change her life.
Rebecca Westin never knew her grandfather-and certainly never expected him to leave her a fortune buried somewhere in the New Mexico desert.
There's just one catch: to claim it, Rebecca must decipher a series of cryptic clues leading to the hidden treasure. And she's not the only one hunting for it. Her ruthless half-siblings are determined to solve the puzzle first, while a dangerous stranger is willing to kill for the prize. Rebecca needs an ally, and she finds one in a green-eyed charmer who knows how to turn a desert expedition into an adventure of its own. But as the clues propel them across New Mexico, their race becomes increasingly perilous. Every historic site, forgotten landmark, and cryptic riddle brings Rebecca closer to the treasure-and closer to the people who will do anything to take it from her. With danger closing in and the stakes higher than ever, Rebecca will have to trust her instincts, risk her heart, and throw caution to the wind. Because if she loses this race, she could lose far more than a fortune. Action, romance, buried treasure, and riddles come together in a fast-paced Southwestern adventure where the reader gets to play detective, too. Follow the clues, identify New Mexico's fascinating historical and cultural sites, and see if you can solve the mystery before Rebecca does. Once again, I could not put down this book!! I loved it.The Southwest Romantic Suspense series includes Desert Gold, Valley of Gems, and Silver Canyon. Each novel stands alone and is complete, with no cliffhangers. This series mixes action and adventure with light romance in the Southwest. This series was originally published as The Mad Monk's Treasure, The Dead Man's Treasure, and The Skeleton Canyon Treasure.
Award-winning author Kris Bock writes novels of romance, mystery, and suspense. Her other Southwestern romantic suspense novels include Whispers in the Dark, Counterfeits, and What We Found. Her Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the employees and customers at a cat café. In the Accidental Detective humorous mystery series, a witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty. In the Tales of a Reluctant Psychic mystery series, a quirky loner who can read the history of any object with her touch gets drawn into mysteries when people bring troubled artifacts to the museum of oddities where she works.
