Synopsis from
Goodreads:
A
dream in the night. A leap of faith. A quest for truth and treasure.
From term papers and instant coffee to blood-thirsty pirates and buried treasure, Rachel Madera, a gifted university professor, finds herself travelling through time on a journey of discovery and danger, all because of a simple dream. Despite the threat, Rachel is undaunted, certain she holds the keys to unlock the mystery of a Pharaoh’s treasure … and alter the course of history.
The only thing that stands between her and peril is Captain Mallory Tucker, a man with a tragic past and intractable moral code. Born of the sea, he is among the leading mariners of 18th century Europe. But the derelicts who make up his crew and the capriciousness of the ocean have taken their toll, and Captain Tucker is tired and jaded. The last thing he needs is a precocious young woman dropping onto his ship and creating havoc. But he’ll fight to the death for her honor, her beliefs…and her love.

My Review:
The story
overall was intriguing and an interesting fast paced read. The relationships between the different characters
was sparked with romance. I loved the Captain;
he was my favorite character in the book.
The Captain protected Rachel and was just a lovable hard ass outward but
sweet inward guy character.
I found the
start of the book to be confusing; I did not understand Rachel’s reasoning or
characterization in why she was doing what she was. It just kind of started and there was no
build up to the beginning; I felt more explanation would have been appreciated. The character of Rachel as a whole was
confusing. She had done so much research
on everything yet when it came to life experience she was making the stupidest
mistakes that anyone would know not to do.
Overall, I
would recommend this book. Getting
through the beginning onto the real story created a great read.
Note: I received this book from the
author in exchange for an honest review.
All opinions are my own.
Caroline
Gregory and Shawnette Nielson are a sister writing team who, despite the
incongruity of their very different characters, always seem to be on the same
page when it comes to their passion for reading and writing. The difference in
their personalities create a well rounded vision of what life should be; stable
yet chaotic. College, construction, motherhood, wrestling, management
experience, or traveling the world as a nanny, all fall under the experiences
of this pair.
