I won Keeper's Watch here on Goodreads. I entered the contest because the blurb sounded interesting but I wasn't too sure if I would like it.I don't normally read many books where romance is a major part of the book as it is in Keeper's Watch. I finished reading it this morning. It turns out that I did like it and will be buy the next book in December.
Detective Beth Hunter has worked for the Alta police department for several years so when she woke up to the sound of someone breaking into her home she thought she was prepared to face the intruder. When she discovered the would be burglar was FBI agent Jeremy Steele and when he told her that he was there looking for an artifact that her recently deceased Archaeologist had found. Beth has no clue what Jeremy is talking about and sends him on his way. Then Beth finds a riddle her father left and the adventure begins. At first she refuses Jeremy help but when it becomes obvious to her that she isn't going to be able to get rid of him so they team up to find the artifact her father hid.
There is romance,mystery,action,adventure,volcano,mountain climbing,car chases,mysterious bad guys,sci-fi scavenger hunt and when they find what they are searching for it is so much more than Beth had expected.
Ms. Roberts writing flows well and is smooth. Her descriptive details is excellent.
However there is a couple things that bothered in a couple of the scenes Beth went from the strong,independent woman to cowering behind Jeremy. Another thing and its just one of my issues. Beth is described throughout the book as a redhead then near the end of the book someone compared her to having wheat colored hair.
Keeper's Watch was a good book. I recommend it.
