Breathtaking and beautiful!
This was one of the most fascinating books I've read in a while. I was riveted by the love story and educated on history of these fascinating people. LOVED the ending!

Good read
Good read, the characters and storyline was interesting. Ana’s journey started slow to me. There was adventure, history and romance entwined in this book. I enjoyed the ending.

Best One Yet
It was a slow beginning that picked up speed in time travel. The history and love interests made for an interesting read. Did they ever get to the cave to find the gold?

This is a very interesting story. I would like to see what happened with Ana and Terrence. Reading her books always make me want to visit Jamaica.
