Giselle Whitloch has no time for love. As a college grad, she’s on track to land her dream Wall Street job. Her great grandmother’s ring gives her strength to pursue her goal. When she doesn’t get the job, she flees to the Crystal Creek Ranch to regain her courage to step back into her job hunting mode.
Niccolo di Saluzzo has been searching for the ring that will save his family--the ring that disappeared from his family’s possessions one hundred years ago. He will pursue the ring even if he has to follow the one woman he can never love to an isolated ranch in Crystal Creek, Colorado. Even if pursing this woman costs him his life.
Niccolo and Giselle battle over ownership of the ring in a fight that takes them from New York City to Crystal Creek, Colorado, to the Balearic Island of Mallorca, to the pinnacle of love both must deny. But the final battle is waged when they meet the man who plans to destroy them both--all for the possession of a ring with a powerful secret.
This book is a questionable 5 star book. Overlooking the questions I have about certain relationships of characters as well as unresolved mysteries because it is in a series that hopefully will resolve these issues in books to come. It is full of danger, suspense, and romance. The author does take imaginative liberties in several circumstances but that makes the book interesting to me.
Well, this story was a little confusing for me. It jumps back & forth between the past & the present day. That kept me guessing which time period I was in. It is full of mystery in both time periods which I enjoyed. Definitely not what I anticipated for the story. Remember, to appreciate the storyline, read this series in order. (Something I did not do)
Mystery, drama, suspense so much that it was easy to get lost in the twists and turns as the story unfolded.it was a great story with many surprises hidden between the lines. Th
How can I make a comparison between this book and a real classical and respected work of fiction; Lord of the Rings? The basic answer is relatively simple, it’s a ring. In both stories, you’ve got a protagonist who’s in possession of a ring and has no real know of the actual importance of what they possess. In both stories you’ve got an individual who’s seeking to regain possession of a ring.
For each of two of the story’s protagonists the ring holds a personal connection; for Giselle the special ring had belong to her grandmother, for Niccolo return the ring to his family is his driving force. And lastly, in both you’ve got an individual who will stop at nothing to gain possession of this precious piece of jewelry and the powerful secret it holds.
There’s a definite love-hate relationship between Giselle and Niccolo all because of the ring, why else will he pursue to an isolated ranch in Crystal Creek, Colorado, endangering his own life in the process. Can these two put their differences aside long enough to retain it in their possession? The storyline has been written in such a manner that once it has grabbed your attention it’s hard to let go, making it hard to let go.
Who will be the one holding the ring when you to get to the last period? Will Giselle and Niccolo find some sort of HEA in their relationship? But more important, what is the secret the ring contains, a secret which must have kept our curiosity throughout the book? For me to tell you would be quite easy, which is why you’ll need to check this 5 STAR book out to find out for yourself.
