    Synopsis

    “Mind Your Own Business…Or Else…”

    For reporter Hope Sinclair, writing about the recovery of a sunken Spanish treasure off Pleasure Island should be her big chance. But Hope can’t help feeling that she’s been hand-picked for this job for all the wrong reasons. Someone wants Hope out of New York and off the story that could blow a corruption case wide open. If they think sending her to paradise will shut her up, they’ve got another thing coming.

    Hope’s subject, treasure hunter Conner Reese, isn’t happy to have her along for the ride. He doesn’t need the publicity, nor does he want an incredibly tempting redhead on board, driving his crew -- and himself -- to distraction. But there’s something else, too. As a former Navy SEAL, Conner can sense extreme danger, and danger is following Hope Sinclair very, very closely…

    Now, in the deceptively serene beauty of a sultry Caribbean paradise, Hope and Conner are moving ever closer to finding a priceless Incan relic, and diving deeper into waters more treacherous than they could possibly imagine…

    Publishers Weekly

    Spicy romance compensates for weak suspense in the third installment of bestseller Martin's Sinclair Sisters series (after Midnight Sun and Desert Heat). In the midst of investigating the condemnation of a city apartment building, Manhattan newspaper reporter Hope Sinclair gets pulled by her editor from that assignment and sent to Pleasure Island, near Jamaica, to chronicle the efforts of a treasure hunting team searching for priceless cargo from a Spanish ship that sank 400 years earlier. Near Pleasure Island, Hope boards the Conquest, the ship from which divers are conducting their search. Conner "Conn" Reese, treasure hunter and former Navy SEAL, is the primary player in the expedition. The close quarters of the Conquest serve to throw together Hope and Conn, two people jaded from previous disastrous relationships. Sexy romance sizzles between the pair in numerous love scenes. Unfortunately, the plot involving Conn's financial partner, who warns Hope away from continuing her research into the New York apartment house, is both predictable and underdeveloped, and the suspenseful action promised by the back cover copy never gets off the ground.

    Not my favorite in this trilogyby Anonymous

    January 10, 2008: Kat Martin is a remarkable writer...she's very descriptive and makes it easy for the reader to get a good mental picture of the characters and surroundings. However, Hope's character was highly aggravating. What happened to her with her ex-fiance had been 2 years prior...get over it already. I don't mind, in fact I kind of like, when the main characters in the story get off to a rocky start and don't like each other...makes it more interesting and intense when they do become intimate. But being intimate and pulling back over and over again is ridiculous. Granted this is fiction, but please, Ms. Martin, try to make your stories a little more believable.

    March 11, 2006: This book was well written. I loved the plot and the characters. I was a bit pissed off at Conner in the beginning because of his incorrect, sexist assumptions about Hope. Other than that I thought the book lived up to the praise and matched the other two in the series. One thing I have a great problem with is Martin's facts about Jamaica. For one thing, if you are going to use a real island, do your research properly or do not use the island at all. The motto was wrong, the name of the airport was wrong and the speech used when Jamaicans spoke was horribly far from the actual language. A notable author would make the effort to represent someone's country with a bit more respect and not automatically tag it as one that is typical and 'island'. Each one is different so unless you actually lived there and consulted with real Jamaicans, don't make assumptions.
