Ashton Storm had always possessed a sense of humor, but he tended to be more thoughtless and self-absorbed than his other siblings. He skated along through life, enjoying the finer things. That was until one day his father had enough and gave him an ultimatum. He either did his father’s bidding, or his ride on easy street came to an instant stop.
Though Ashton fought against doing what his father demanded, he finally caved in and took the small boating company his father gave him and made it a multi-billion dollar corporation. Now, he’s back on easy street and he’s alone – but for how long?
Richard Storm was disappointed when his matchmaking plans for his son Ashton and the very sexy, smart, somewhat clumsy, Savannah Mills didn’t work out. But no other woman seemed to be catching his son’s eyes.
Fate has a funny way of working out though, and maybe, just maybe, Richard hadn’t been wrong about Ashton and Savannah being the perfect couple. Because they’re about to finally meet.
Nobody likes sexy men, sassy heroines, and emotionally charged books, right? WRONG! We all want to feel extraordinary when we read, and that's exactly what you'll get when you pick up a Melody Anne book. She has the feel-good stories of a damsel in distress with prince charming riding in to save the day . . . and she also has emotionally charged books that take you through a journey of emotion as you try to figure out if you love or hate the characters as they find themselves. What you get at the end of every Melody Anne book is a resolution that has you begging for more.
Melody Anne is a NYT best selling author of more than 70 books about strong women, strong families, and sexy strong men. Each series has its own theme, and each is different. Melody touches subjects others might not want to touch and you won't get away from reading one of her series without laughing, crying, and thinking about the journey you've just gone on even months later.

Unfortunately I had a hard time liking the hero. He was engaged for half of the book but was still hitting on the heroine and he was Jekle and Hyde through 2/3 of the book . The second half of the book was discourse between the two and found no real connection between them.
Sad, because I normally really enjoy Melody Anne's books!! Will continue reading her future books though, this one just didn't do anything for me.
This is a series that I never want to see the end of. I have loved each and every book. Richard, George, and Joseph want grandkids. They have a tendency to hire beautiful young lady's to work for their grown son's. They are hoping the two will fall in love, get married, and give them grandkids. They have been very successful so far. They have to work quick. Ashton is engaged, and they think his fiancé is a money grubbing gold digger. Richard hires Savvy to work at the docks with Ashton. The attraction was instant. Why was Aston attracted to Savvy when he was engaged to get married? The sparks fly. I loved the way she didn't hesitate to tell him off, or remind him that he was taken. It took him a little while to realize that he was engaged to the wrong girl. This book had the perfect amount of drama to make it interesting. Loved this book! I loved seeing the characters from the other books. If this was the end to this series, (I hope it's not) It was a perfect way to close out this series. This is a series that I will be re reading.
I am seriously not a fan of a cheater even if he is one of the character from Melody Anne...
I don't know what or how to write anything about this particular story. Beside this one all the stories of Anderson and Storms are my favorite but cheating parts which came in this, Beside he changed and all that but how he was build as a character was not good... And about Heroine I think she was lost. I am unable to get close to her at all. She was so... I don't know what to say, but both the characters of the story was not clicking in the places right... The whole story was confusing and lost...
This is the first book of Melody which i seriously didn't like at all... That's why it took me 1 month to complete the story... Seriously a month...
Priceless Treasure: The Lost Andersons Book 4 is by Melody Anne. This is the last book in the Lost Anderson series and it is a very good one. All the Andersons and the Storms live in the Seattle area now; but until now, none of them have had much to do with the water. Ashton Storm had taken a small charter service and had brought it unto its own. He now had a charter service with several boats which matched the different needs of his clients. One was a cruise to Alaska in a small ship with about three hundred clients aboard. None of his clients demurred when asked to pay the price for the trip. It was first class all the way. He had his life mapped out. He was marrying Kalli, who would add to his allure in the business world and the society world. They were marrying for business reasons not love. Ashton wasn’t looking for love; just a family. Savannah Mills had received her master’s degree in oceanography and at the end of the summer was to enter graduate school for her doctorate. She had planned her life so she would end up teaching during the school year and hopefully doing some traveling and archeology work during the summer. She just had to get through this next degree. For now, she was taking the summer off. She had a job working at a charter company with the distinct possibility of doing some diving on possible wreck sites in the Seattle area. At least she had the possibility of being on the ocean. What Savannah doesn’t know is that the Mr. Storm who hired her wasn’t the Mr. Storm who ran the business!
Well, this one threw me back to me Harlequin-Romance-Reading-Days. Recipe: 1 young and educated virgin 1 need of a job 1 hot as hell boss, who is a rich guy, who is domineering 1 fiance (other woman) 1, scratch that, 2 1 messy relationship drama of push and pull a sprinkle of family meddling or family expectations...
Give it two hours...1 & 1/2, LOL! [I broke that up with audiobook when driving] HNY (2018).
Matchmaking, love, and finding a happily ever after seems to be what this series is all about. I wasn't a fan of Ashton acting on his feelings while still in another relationship but all is well that ends well.
With all the high reviews, I grabbed a copy for my kindle and started reading. With the mention that this was considered a standalone book in a series had me intrigued....
Here are my thoughts... The story was alright, but the pace staggered between lightening fast and painfully slow. Character development was choppy, at best. Savannah and her story was not exactly forthcoming until near the end of the book. Ashton and his story lacked development from his stuffy ways to a loving man. The whole Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was confusing and not all that beneficial to making him a Swoon-worthy hero. The meddlesome father and his brothers were not exactly all that present, either. The games that Aaron's fiance played, while childish, were even presented in a way that offered little growth to the story. It was like the writer added a dramatic event, but never expanded upon it. Probably because of page restraints.
While the writing could have been better.... it was an alright book. Not something that I will read again.
I am a huge fan of the Anderson clan, and this like the others was a pretty great read...although the ending on this one was a little cheesy but in all honesty it fit the book. Ashton from the beginning was stubborn and set in his ways to procure the perfect trophy wife to have heirs for his family. The only thing he didn't think through was the fact that his fiance wasn't who he needed or wanted. Savvy had a lot of issues with her past but she worked hard to get past those things to get to where she wanted to be in life, but then Ashton came into the picture and literally turned her whole life upside down.
Though this book was pretty predictable I still enjoyed reading it, this is one of those series where you read it for the cheesy happy endings. If you like the rest of the Anderson series then you are sure to love this one.
Wow!!! Another amazing brilliant read Savannah is and amazing, beautiful, smart and wounded soul of a woman what she and her sister endured at the hands of someone who should love you, yet she is has a bachelors and a masters degree and she is doing her doctorate wow!!!!! She wonder woman and what she see's in Ashton I don't know well I do know but still he puts her through heaven and hell in this book. I've a love/hate relationship with Ashton he is devilish handsome, suave, hateful, cruel and awesome all in one amazing package I cried with sorrow and also with joy and hated what he done to Savvy but like all woman she has a strength in her that gets her through it. This is a wonderful read and would recommend it to everyone to read
I don't know what it is about them, but I think Melody Anne could just keep adding relatives for the Anderson & Storm families and I would keep on reading, never even noticing as long as Joseph, George & Richard are there matchmaking. It was no different in this book with Ashton and Savannah, except Ashton is already engaged to be married....to someone else. Read this latest to see how things work out for our old matchmaking friends and their children.
As this series continues, it amazes me that the storylines stay fresh and entertaining. Well written with fun and enjoyable characters that are constantly at odds with each other and their minds and hearts as well. This was a fun story about realizing what you really want and going after it . It's about finding out about your self when you find the right person to compliment you in ever way.
Melody Anne knows how to write a story that will keep you laughing and falling in love with her characters through out this series! BUT, this book is at the TOP of the list of my favorites! I have loved the Anderson's and Storm's families for a looooong time and they just keep getting better with each book! I laughed, I cried (a little) and fell in love with Ashton and Savannah! Can't wait for Lance's story!!
Another great book Melody Anne. God i love that family. Ashton is Hot and i think Savannah is just perfect for him. He was an ass at first but what guy isnt. What Savannah went through going up and what her father did to her on the docks omg i don't know what i would have done. I am so glad that they made back to each and there is a baby on the way and i hope in Lances book we get to find out what her name is Cant wait until the next book. 5 Stars
Melody Anne does it again with the 4th book in the Lost Anderson series. I started reading the Andersons and fell in love with them, and now you add the Storms to the mix, and it's a whole lot better. Ashton and Savannah are great together. She doesn't put up with his crap. If you have not read any of the series by Melody Anne I strongly suggest that you do.
I've been waiting for the release of this book for months - so worth the wait! I always loved the Andersons! The Storms are great addition. Initially I didn't favor Ashton too much that soon changed. Loved this story it's witty, humorous and oh so romantic. I love the way Melody writes - very descriptive and great story!
The story was ok, I like the concept of the story it has potential however I was not able to connect with the characters. I’m not a fan of Ashton although I understand that’s that way he should be. In general the story was ok, not as funny and as romantic like the previous book but still enough for me to finish it. Still finding the old men funny :)
Ashton found Savannah tresspassing or atleast he thought until he found his father had hire her .. This is amazing addition to the series you will laugh and scream at the book I know i did , It's a very enjoyable read
Poor Ashton was a confused man until reality of love and life washed him to sea. I enjoyed him and Savvy story but loved the chase even more. Ash always seemed to stick his mouth in it when he lashed out from confusion and false family expectations but one phone call brought it all together.
So good. I just love these stories. I love Savvy she is brilliant, beautiful and one of my favorites so far. Her schooling and adventures of ocean diving is amazing. And who wouldn't fall for Ashton swoon. Melody your the best.
A little on the predictable side (crazy fiancé stuff), but still awesome. These stories just warm my heart! Ashton and Savvy are a great addition to the matched couples in the Anderson/Storm family.
Another awesome book by Melody Anne. Can't wait to read the next book on the series and see what scheme Joseph, George and Richard come up with for Lance.
