Nora Roberts is an incredible author who has written numerous amazing books. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.

The plot is plodding and replete with cliched villains and TSTL moments. The heroine is pretentious and annoying with her constant recording of how much the hero owes her down to the last cent. The hero, a supposedly charming rogue, is nothing more than a wastrel flitting from heist to heist spending his ill gotten gains on undeserving women.

The story never fully captured my attention and it was easy to put the book aside. I really could not care less if either the hero, the heroine or both were killed. Fans and newbies should look elsewhere for a better Nora book. ( )

Whitney MacAllister es la heredera de una pequeña fortuna familiar. Aparentemente,tiene todo lo que una mujer puede desear, pero se siente insatisfecha: anhela vivir una aventura de verdad, una experiencia que remueva todos sus sentidos. El destino se confabula para que se haga realidad su sueño:Whitney es secuestrada por un ladrón de joyas, Douglas Lord, y juntos se embarcan en la búsqueda de un fabuloso tesoro.
Ella tiene el dinero y los contactos apropiados; él posee los documentos robados que les llevarán hasta la ansiada fortuna. Lo que originalmente no era más que una cuestión de negocios, se convierte en una exótica y peligrosa odisea alrededor del mundo.Whitney siempre consigue lo que quiere; sabrá manejar al simpático y granuja Douglas con tanta picardía que provocará auténticas llamaradas de pasión entre ellos.

I got a few chapters into this audiobook, all the time intriguingly aware that the story was familiar. But I haven't entered it here in Library Thing... It must have been 2-3 years ago. I have no memory of it, until I listen again. As I recall I enjoyed it, and if there weren't a million other books to read, I'd listen to it again. ( )

I never could quite suspend my disbelief long enough to really root for either of the protagonists... ( )

This hints at suspense, but really it's RomCom. A lot of it felt cliché. ( )
