Summary:
Claire Saunders is on the brink of realizing her dreams and putting her past behind her. She could care less about a group of pirates preying on San Diego. Nothing will derail her. Or so she thinks, until she finds herself an unwilling passenger aboard a schooner at sea. A reluctant participant in a covert operation, she sails farther and farther away from everything she's worked so hard for. Without her there, it will all fall apart.
Hot-shot agent Dion Gaetani can't believe he's been saddled with a civilian. Worse—a woman. Guilt-ridden over a prior op gone bad, this is a burden he doesn't need.
Together, they must work in close quarters to capture a rogue band of pirates. The stakes are high. Dion's own boat, the Treasure, is the bait. And an unwelcome yet undeniable desire is the complication.
Shelly's Review:
Stolen Treasures is a wonderful book! It has romance, adventure, and suspense all wrapped up in one edge-of-your-seat story.
Claire ends up being a stowaway on the Treasure, Dion's yacht that he inherited from his grandfather. Dion is on an undercover mission to help catch pirates who are stealing local yachts from right under the owner's noses.
I like the way Laurie Ryan makes Claire and Dion deny their attraction to each other, which therefore leads to sexual tension. Laurie uses that sexual tension to create some explosive love scenes as they finally give in to their mutual attraction. Stolen Treasures is a book that will make you a little hot-under-the-collar and wishing like crazy you could be Claire (lol)…or maybe just wishing you could have a hunky hero like Dion?
This is my first read from Laurie Ryan and I'm very much looking forward to reading the sequel to Stolen Treasures. Please watch for my review of that sequel, Pirate's Promise coming soon!
Rated 5 Delightful Divas by Shelly!
