Summary: Another delight from Elizabeth Lowell
Comment: Though I preferred Jade Island and Pearl Cove to this first book in the Donovan series, it was still an enjoyable read involving international intrigue, quick wit, and explosive emotions. The plot moved quickly and the history Lowell provides about amber is interesting without being overwhelming or tedious. I have only two complaints. One, though Lowell has depicted Honor as a clever-tongued, intelligent woman, there are a couple of instances in which Honor is so naive as to be downright foolish, and the inconsistency leaves the reader shaking their head. Second, since brothers Kyle and Archer make only a short appearance at the end of the novel, I didn't feel as drawn into the close, fun-loving Donovan family as I did in Jade Island and Pearl Cove. Overall though, I'd recommend it and read it again myself.

Summary: Action and Suspense blended with a Nice Touch of Romance
Comment: Kyle Donovan is missing, so his sister Honor goes to his home in Washington State's San Juan Islands to search for clues. She doesn't know how to work Kyle's boat so she hires Jake Mallory to teach her how and to act as a guide. However, unknown to her, Jake is a dealer in gemstones as is Honor's family. When Kyle disappeared a shipment of amber Jake had entrusted with him disappeared as well.
And in that shipment is a panel from the czar's fabled Amber Room that went missing during World War II. The Donovan family claims Kyle never received the shipment and they get Jake barred from doing business in Russia. Jake figures if he stays close to Honor, she'll lead him to Kyle and the stolen amber.
However, Jake isn't the only one who wants to find that amber. There are others hot on Jake and Honor's trail, others like the Russian mafiya, Lithuanian separatists and agents of the United States government.
Of course, Jake doesn't trust Honor or any of the Donovan clan and, of course, when she finds out who Jake really is, she doesn't trust him either, but there is that old devil attraction between them, but before they can do anything about it they have to get beyond that trust thing, get away from their pursuers and get to the bottom of what happened to Kyle and the missing amber.
Though many think of Lowell as a romance writer, she can write action and suspense too and she can do it well, as she proves with this first story about the Donovan clan that I just could not put down.

Summary: Sorry, but I didn't like this series,
Comment: I probably stand alone with my review of this book but I didn't like this series. I thought the story was predictable and boring. I was very disappointed. As a rule, I enjoy most books written by Elizabeth Lowell just not this series. Sorry.
