About the Book: Rebecca Walker loves searching for lost treasure in the local caves of her hometown of Rock Ledge Arkansas but put those plans on hold in order to fulfill her sister’s dying wish to perform on Broadway. Just as her star on the Big White Way begins to soar, she returns home after her father suffers a debilitating stroke. While there, she’s determined to fulfill her dad’s lifelong quest for hidden Confederate gold, rumored to be buried in nearby caves.
Former army ranger Roy Maddox
blames the accident that took his fiancée’s life on her sister, Rebecca. Now she’s
back, pretending to care about the father she left behind to pursue her dreams
of fame and glory. Despite their differences, they’re drawn to each other. They
must locate, then retrieve the gold before they are blind-sided by an outside
force who appears intent on taking the treasure and destroying their lives in
the process.
Our
Review: Once again Linda Trout
displays an enviable talent for developing romance in subtle though powerful
ways, then as an extra added attraction, tosses in the characters’ passion for local
caves where Confederate gold is rumored to be buried. The pacing of the budding
romance, combined with the allure of buried treasure, and uncovering the
identity of who is trying to foul the works and steal the treasure keeps the
pages turning.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Crushed
Promises merits a 6.
