LISA'S REVIEW: Expedition Indigo (Expedition Indigo)

"Stacy Allen's debut novel has it all--an intriguing ancient puzzle, a modern-day treasure hunt, suspense, and most of all, a thrilling romance. Clear your schedule, because you won't want to put this one down.”
~#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs

"I love intrigue, and Stacy Allen's Expedition Indigo has plenty of it: International intrigue, ro-mantic intrigue, and the alluring intrigue of sunken treasure. Throw in some Italian food and men, and I'm in literary heaven. Stacy Allen's debut novel is a good one. She is an author to watch!"

~Elizabeth Engstrom, author of Baggage Check

Blurb:
Archaeologist Riley Cooper is offered the chance of a lifetime: a chance to find the Crux Fidelis, the coronation cross of Charlemagne. Under Water Sea Adventures members believe they have found the remains of the Indigo, a heavily laden cargo ship commissioned by Charlemagne and presumed lost on its maiden voyage off the coast of southern Italy in the early 800s. If Riley can find the cross, it will prove Charlemagne’s coronation as the First Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day had not been a spontaneous act, but rather a desperate political maneuver by a Pope in need of protection.
When Riley joins UWSA off the coast of Sorrento, Italy, tensions and tempers fly as a competing team arrives in search of the treasure and an approaching hurricane gains strength and heads straight toward the dive site. And when one of the crew is murdered, Riley must find the strength to fight back and keep the treasure out of the other team’s hands.

Review:
So interesting, what a read! I really enjoyed this, it is not like a lot of books I read. I found that I could easily follow along even in the parts in other languages. That was great! I often get lost when another language is just kinda thrown in there to add to the story. But, I usually lose some of the story and get caught up on the change in language. Not the case here. SO happy too. I found this to be thrilling with a twist of romance. Stefano is an interesting character and I love the spark between him and Riley. Riley is on one major adventure and I was so lucky to go along! How very exciting and a fun read!
