BLURB:
Rian dreams of the sea. When he wakes up in a hospital after an accident, he is unable to remember anything. Not even his boyfriend, Jarred.
He is whisked away to their castle, where secrets make him hesitant to trust what Jarred says. As he tries to uncover the secret of his injury, he stumbles across a hidden tunnel … and a vast treasure in lost shipwreck gold.
It isn’t until he follows Jarred down into the tunnel that he discovers his boyfriend is not completely human.
REVIEW:
Short but sweet. Although this is book 7 of a series, it is entirely stand alone. I have not read any of the previous books in the series and I had no idea there were any until I checked out Amazon.
Rian, the main protagonist, came across as a real sweetheart. Despite a difficult situation, he kept his head and trusted his gut. Even when his journey revealed shocks and dangers, he never faltered, although he was, of course, knocked off balance.
Jarrod was a different kettle of fish and we are kept guessing until the end as to whether he was a good guy or a bad guy.
Considering the short length of this book, I found the characters surprisingly well developed. Clearly, they are not as fleshed out as they would have been in a full-length novel, but for a short the author has done very well in presenting two unique characters with distinct personalities.
The book is generally well written, and although the amnesia trope is somewhat tired, the author manages to freshen it up with some nice twists.
I would recommend this book for someone who would like a quick, sweet read. It’s the kind of book you can easily read in one sitting and will leave you feeling warm.
