Reviews

[Brittany Farr · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is one thing I hate in some books, WHEN THEY HAVE TOO MANY CHARACTERS, so it is hard for me to keep track who is who. This book definitely had many names. Nevertheless, I was able to keep up with the story. This talks about a strong woman whose job is to find things because she works at Finders, Inc. She was supposed to uncover a stolen statue, but she was led into something more dangerous and more exciting than uncovering a stolen statue. But she couldn't do it alone, so she asks for help from her boss, who recently rejected her request to be promoted and who also had some romance history with her. Together, they try to find out what is going on and find the missing statue.

I enjoyed this book, it is a simple read.

Despite the beautiful locales in the book (a cruise ship, Ecuador, and Peru), the romance between Samantha Henderson and Daniel McCullough, both of whom are in the recovery business, is stale and dull. The book is billed as a Christian romance but, as another reviewer pointed out, the Christian aspect appears to be tacked on at the last minute, and is distracting rather than being integral to the plot or to character development.
