Romance Suspense
MAKE HER PAY by Roxanne St. Claire is the latest installment
in her popular Bullet Catchers series. I personally have
been collecting the series, but hadn't yet read a single one
when I sat down to read it.Through the grapevine I had heard
that this series didn't
necessarily need to be read in order, but I would suggest
that you do want to read in order. MAKE HER PAY is the
story of Constantine Xenakis, and in some previous book he
must have made at least a cameo appearance as he does have a
prior history with the Bullet Catchers. While there is enough information to let the reader know
that Con (as he is known in the book) is attempting to get
back into the good graces of Bullet Catchers head Lucy
Sharpe, but not enough as to tell exactly what he did to
fall from grace. Con agrees to go on a secret dive to recover treasure from a
ship known as El Falcone. Bullet Catchers has a client who
believes that someone on board the Gold Digger, the salvage
ship stealing the treasures and selling them to private
collectors. It will be Con's job to discover the thief and
bring him or her to justice. Could it really be as easy as it first seems, when barely on
board Con catches Lizzie Dare sneaking into the lab
attempting to snap pictures of the latest treasure brought
up from the depths of the ocean? Of course not...nothing is
ever as easy as one first thinks, and soon Lizzie and Con
are in not only a fight to prove who rightfully own the
treasure that sank with El Falcone, but for their lives as well. MAKE HER PAY has all the elements needed for a good book,
buried treasure, suspense as to who the treasure belongs,
and sizzling heat between the primary characters. I know I
would have enjoyed it more than I did had I read
the series in order, however as I was told there was enough
back story (though I wish I knew what specifically Con had
done to fall from grace) to make me enjoy the book overall,
and be ready to pick up the next in the series.
SUMMARY
Bullet Catcher and former Navy SEAL Constantine Xenakis has
infiltrated a dive ship to discover who's plundering
priceless gems from a legendary sunken Spanish galleon. When he catches Lizzie Dare red-handed in the locked
treasure room, her story of a stolen ancestral legacy
convinces him to work with the sexy thief instead of turning
her in -- and not just because he wants to find the real
culprit. Lizzie is willing to risk everything to save the
Bombay Blue Diamonds from her sworn enemy, even if that
means giving in to an irresistible desire to get closer to
her accomplice. But when passion hits them like a rogue wave and danger
surrounds them like a school of hungry sharks, their
adventure on the high seas turns treacherous...and deadly
