Summary from GoodReads: Years ago, Maxwell Barrett found a map to Atlantis and dedicated his life to the search for the mystical lost continent. But when an alluring woman makes a wager for the priceless artifact, he may have discovered an even greater treasure.
A descendant of Atlantis, Sabine Tobias needs the map to decipher an ancient prophecy. What she doesn't need are the sparks flying between her and Max. He's too devilishly charming to be trusted: The fate of her people is at stake as well as her heart. Yet a ruthless killer also covets the map. Now Max and Sabine must race to decode the prophecy's riddle before this criminal fulfills his deadly mission.
My Review: This book is book #2 in a series called The Legend Hunter Series. In being honest, as I always am here, this is the only book from this series that I've read. I did not like all of the characters in this book,. but, as they are so well described and in the way they materialize in this book, I do believe that's the whole point. Robyn wants the characters to grab you...some for you to love, others for you to dislike.
Don't let the first few chapters deter you from this book...they are a little confusing, but it all unfolds. This book is well written with enough information to make you feel as though you are right there with the characters {go on, pick a character and place yourself in their shoes for a few hours}..and she does this without being overly wordy on descriptions.
This book contains mystery, legend, danger, undeniable passion and adventure--a historical novel with a twist.
Having not read book #1 did not affect the flow of this book at all. Some series HAVE to be read in order from start to finish, this isn't the case with this one.
Review copy of this book provided by the author/publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review. In no way did the provision of the book affect the outcome of my review.
Wonderful review! Placing yourself in the characters shoes is a great way to really enjoy a book! :D
