DEEP BLUE is a fairly good romantic suspense tale, with a slightly reaching plot. A lot of information about treasure hunting and Mel Fisher's astounding hunt for the Spanish treasure ship Atocha is thrown in.
A reporter bites off more than she can chew and winds up in trouble with some totally unscrupulous characters. With the help of friends and a sexy treasure hunter, it appears that the good guys will at least pull even with the baddies.
I might have rated the book a bit higher if I had read the previous two books, but the story is perfectly intelligible without prior reading.
From back cover:
For reporter Hope Sinclair, writing about the recovery of a sunken Spanish treasure off Pleasure Island should be her big chance. But Hope can't help feeling that she's been hand-picked for this job for all the wrong reasons. Someone wants Hope out of New York and off the story that could blow a corruption case wide open. If they think sending her to paradise will shut her up, they've got another think coming. Hope's subject, treasure hunter Conner Reese, isn't happy to have her along for the ride. He doesn't need the publicity, nor does he want an incredibly tempting redhead on board, driving his crew--and himself--to distraction. But there's something else, too. As a former Navy SEAL, Conner can sense extreme danger, and danger is following Hope Sinclair very, very closely...
Now, in the deceptively serene beauty of a sultry Caribbean paradise, Hope and Conner are moving ever closer to finding a priceless Incan relic, and diving deeper into waters more treacherous than they could possibly imagine...
