Priceless

By: Mariah Stewart

Narrated by: Erica Sullivan

The award-winning author whose tender and sensual love stories touch listeners’ hearts weaves her signature magic, unfolding an unforgettable tale of a man and a woman who find that love is the most precious treasure of all.

When underwater archaeologist Sam McGowan is asked to help salvage a sunken Confederate blockade runner, he’s eager for the opportunity to investigate his own family history - especially since the project is being handled by Gordon Chandler, a notable authority in underwater salvaging. When he finds Gordon’s daughter Rachel in charge, Sam is not pleased. She can’t possibly be her father’s match. But not only has Sam wildly underestimated Rachel’s professional abilities, he has yet to discover the many other facets of this complex woman.

All her life, Rachel Chandler has dreamed of finding sunken treasure. While grateful to run her first solo operation, she resents having been assigned to run the salvage operation of a sunken blockade runner while her father is investigating a pirate ship. Most definitely, she does not want to work with a man who will question her every move. But when she and Sam stumble onto an unexpected cache of gems aboard the sunken wreck, they’re drawn into something that fast becomes far more than just a working partnership. As Rachel and Sam start to dream of a future together, they also begin to realize that the fabulous treasure they have discovered holds more danger than they ever suspected.

narration can spoil experience. it did.

The narrator has an affected speech habit of elongating the end of a sentence or word, sort of hanging it in air. Often a conversation involving more than one character gets confusing because you can't tell who is saying what because there isn't character distinction. I turned off the book several times because the narrative was so frustrating, but I was wanting the story and struggled through the narrator. while I loved the story written this narrator is listed for multiple books by the author so, I will pass .
