One of her best yet!!! It gets better & better....

Mariah Stewart is fast becoming a favorite all over the country. I know I cannot wait until each book is available. It is rare anymore to see an author continue a series with so many different story lines..... Keep up the writing.

A Winner Once Again!

Mariah Stewart has done it again! As you open the cover, she beckons you to enter a world of adventure, intrigue, and romance of the best kind; good to the very last page! I look forward to joining her on her next journey.

Good Book for a modern romance

I must admit that this is my first book by Mariah Stewart and it was excellent. I really enjoyed the story and the little bit of history that the book entailed. It was different from the typical love story in that it had a bit of mystery. I must also admit that the mystery did not stump me. I had it figured out after a couple of chapters, but it was still fun to read and see if I was right. The only thing that I would have wished for was a little more/better description of the physical settings in the book, such as the house that was being restored and the "plain" ancestor who comes back as a ghost. On the whole, it was a good book, which I finished in one day, if that tells you anything. I couldn't put it down!!!!! Recommended very highly!!!!

A Fascinating Read!

Mariah Stewart just keeps getting better and better, and PRICELESS is the proof! Great characters, great story. Brava, Mariah!

Excellent as usual

Renowned underwater salvage expert Gordon Chandler asks marine archeologist Dr. Sam McGowan to join his team. In the past, Sam has rejected such offers, but this time the job entails salvaging a sunken paddle boat that his great-great grandfather used as a blockade runner during the Civil War. Desiring to learn more about his family tree and to work with the great Gordon, Sam accepts the job. In 1864, his ship sank off the Carolina coast due to a nasty storm. Since Gordon is busy on another project and his son Jared is also tied up elsewhere, he places his daughter Rachel in charge. When Sam realizes that Rachel runs the project, he becomes upset. However, he soon realizes that she is more than just a nepotistic selection. She proves she is an expert in her own right. Soon, Sam and Rachel begin to fall in love with one another. However, when they uncover an allegedly unknown treasure on the sunken ship, they find their lives in jeopardy. If they survive, they may learn that their hearts contain the greatest treasure of them all. Fans of romantic intrigue will find Mariah Stewart's latest novel to be a PRICELESS gem. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action. However, it is the tidbits on underwater salvaging and the Civil War blockade running blended within the plot that provide an exciting authenticity to the tale. Sam and Rachel are a wonderful couple and the secondary characters help propel the story forward. Ms. Stewart remains one of the sub-genre's leading lights.Harriet Klausner
