Publisher's Weekly Review
Panting lust and an undersea mystery are, sadly, not enough to save Adair's weak fourth Cutter Cay contemporary romance (after Vortex). Dr. Callie West is a marine archeologist who signed on to Jonah Cutter's expedition near Greece with ulterior motives. She presents herself as married, though she's actually widowed; the last thing she wants is for the enigmatic, darkly handsome Jonah to know she's available-or to find out her true purpose. Jonah battles inner demons, trying to resist his attraction to the very married archeologist whose services he secured from under his archrival's nose. However, neither of them can deny the chemistry that's building during the long days and longer nights in an almost magical place. The heat is sidelined by the possible discovery of the lost city of Atlantis, and by threats from a mysterious group of people determined to undermine their salvage efforts. While the elements surrounding Atlantis's discovery are fascinating, Adair relies much too heavily on sexual yearnings to propel the story, at the expense of an otherwise solid plot. Two-dimensional, sex-obsessed characters don't stand up to the wonder of research and history. Agent: Kimberly Whalen, Whalen Agency. (Mar.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Booklist Review
Jonah Cutter has hit the jackpot. Off the coast of Greece lies a treasure trove of relics waiting for an opportunistic salvager to unearth them. What's better is their location: a sunken ship in the middle of an ancient city. Jonah believes he's found Atlantis and needs some backup to prove he's right. Callie West, the foremost expert on Atlantis (and its nonexistence) and a professional marine archaeologist, is perfect for the job. But her loyalties lie elsewhere. Her brother-in-law, a competitor to the Cutters, wants information about the job, and Callie can't say no to family. As the excavation proceeds and the city starts looking more like the Atlantis, Callie finds she doesn't want to leave. The find could make her career, and her lust for Jonah is undeniable. She finds that she needs to decide who Jonah is to her friend, colleague, enemy, or lover before it's too late. Adair's thrilling romantic suspense will make you want to explore the high seas yourself, or with a swarthy hunk of your own.--Dittmeier, Amy Copyright 2018 Booklist
