Really enjoyed this story. I love adventure books and this one hit all the right marks with a good dose of romance thrown in! Looking forward to the next.
First half was going well an interesting mix of characters and a mystery plot developing, - then about 2/3 in deteriorated into a cross between The Mummy and Tombraider. Disappointing.
I love Anna Hackett's book and this one is not an exception, but for a tiny, teeny thing... well not so teeny after all!The book started very well and I enjoyed it very much: a spunky archeologist and the alpha- security specialist! A new excavation where a golden artifacts and new burial chanber, complete with golden sarcophagus - what's not to like?! Add to that bloodthirsty artifacts' thieves, and you have a perfect mix!So our heroes, with their friends, run from the dig and end in a violent
It's no secret that I enjoy this authors sci fi stories but I'm a little more hard to please when it comes to more contemporary offerings . My problem is simply that when I read I want to be transported to a different state of consciousness , I don't want my reality , I want something exciting and wild. Yet I was prepared to give this a go and I'm so pleased I did. Ok its rugged former Navy Seals (yum!) and all mixed up with discovering ancient antiquities so a rather obsessed Professor is the p...
I usually kinda, sorta like this author, but this book isn’t working for me. The start is slow. A lot of talk. So much talk that even the one little shred of action is like blink and you miss it. She’s an educated idiot. After being attacked for priceless artifacts, the last thing any smart mofo would do is use a tube of lipstick as a fake weapon to confront someone you think is following you. He’s a SEAL who acts more like a seal. Not Fab Writing The writing feels disjointed and like pure nonse...
I ran aground on all the boilerplate. It intrigued me that Hackett wasn't making up the Egyptian stuff (bending it, but keeping the essence). Like, the hidden oasis was so specific that I looked it up only to find an actual source for it. That's rare. But the rest of this? Declan is a former Navy SEAL with his own company where they do good deeds and get paid for it. And yet his refrain is "she can do better". Oh rly?!? Oh! And also unearned guilt because when he reported the torturing madman to...
(2.5 Stars, rounded up to 3)Stylistically, I found the prose to be simplistic and repetitive. Sentence structure tended toward short and stilted. Having said that, I'm also aware that might have been the intention--a quick page turner.If you're in the mood for a wham, bam-blow through it-beach read, this one may be right in your wheelhouse. TBH, it really just comes down to personal preferences. I don't need super flowery, extensive descriptions, but I like more imagery in writing. Especially wi...
Undiscovered is book one of Treasure Hunter Security by Anna Hackett. Archeologists Dr Layne Rush was working on a dig in Egypt when strange things started to happen on site. Declan Ward was hired by Rhodes University to provide security to the excavation. On the first meeting, Dr Layne Rush and Declan Ward clashed. The readers of Undiscovered will continue to follow Dr Layne Rush and Declan Ward to see what happens.I enjoyed reading this book. I loved Anna Hackett description of working on an A...
Fun, fast-paced, steamy romance, a little unbelievable but enjoyable.
I just don't know if I can read this series. My dad's an archaeologist and I find the whole treasure hunter thing too similar to looting. (although i have to admit we both enjoy Indian Jones)...OK well I do like the Alex Benedict stuff by Jack McDevitt too (another looter), but he can write intrigue very well...Anna Hackett, not so much.
UPDATE: I purchased and listened to the audible version of UNDISCOVERED. Stella Bloom is the narrator and I enjoyed her voice and again went along for the ride. I love this action & adventure “Indy Jones style” series! ❤️I absolutely loved UNDISCOVERED, bk #1 in the TREASURE HUNTER SECURITY series*. This read like an action-filled Indiana Jones novel but with 2 protagonists sharing the character traits of Jones - ethical archeologist Dr Layne and kick-butt security specialist Declan Ward. UNDISC...
Declan is in Egypt on protection and retrieval duty after an old nemesis attacked archaeologist Dr. Layne Rush’s dig site. The ex Navy SEAL has spent the past two years, after leaving the SEALS, building Treasure Hunter Security, protecting archaeologist, artifacts and others involved in museum acquisitions. He’s closed himself off from anything remotely involving love, with the exception of his brother and his team. Of course, as soon as he lays eyes on the beautiful lead archaeologist Layne, h...
This was crazy fun. It's a fast-paced romance version of Indiana Jones, and let me tell you: I am here for it. The characters were fun, the adventure was fun, and I was thrilled to be along for the ride.Quick, fun read with a little bit of danger and some sexy times. What's not to like?
This action/adventure romance as a lot going for it - the requisite feisty brilliant heroine and hot bodyguard/security expert being at the center. Good character and romance development, it's a bit spotty on the archeological accuracy and the ending had a little to much of a 'miraculous' quality. It was free or 99c - so no complaints.

Who knew that a mystical underground cavern and some magical dogs would really seal the deal for a love connection? N.b. she doesn't have any underlying health issues
