Deadly secrets are buried on Amber Beach ...
Donovan International is a power to be reckoned with in the dazzling and cutthroat worldwide gem trade -- and is therefore a target for the murderous greed of unscrupulous competitors. Though a shrewd businesswoman, Honor Donovan has been effectively shut out of the dangerous family enterprise by the Donovan males -- until her favorite brother, Kyle, mysteriously vanishes along with a fortune in stolen amber.
Now, linking up with "fishing guide" Jake Mallory -- whose previous association with the Donovans has bred mistrust and suspicion -- Honor sets out for the Pacific Northwest in search of answers. But old wars and new politics have lured ruthless, high-stakes players from around the globe into a deadly game. And suddenly, elusive trust can be the only salvation -- and death the penalty for deceit -- if Honor and Jake hope to survive the perilous intrigues surrounding a breathtaking lost Czarist treasure known as the Amber Room ...

"This is my favorite contemporary romantic suspense series. The Donovan family just works for me. Good family stuff. Nice steamy love scenes. Wonderful tough men and smart competent women. EL hit the mark with these but wish she had written about the twins!! I'd love to have 2 more books. " — Nicki (5 out of 5 stars)

“With light tones and a breezy style, Rowan keeps pace with the ups and downs of Honor’s emotions. At the same time, the tension is palpable as Jake and Honor carry out their search while avoiding the irate Russian gangsters Kyle is mixed up with.”
“ Fascinating details about amber, and less fascinating descriptions of boating, lend authenticity to this contemporary romance marked by its edgy repartee, highly charged love scenes, and gorgeous geography.”
“A Gem of a novel.”
" I reread this book this summer. This is about Honor Donovan and Jake. Brother Kyle Donovan goes missing and Honor hires Jake to help find him and a panel of Russian amber. Story is well written and action, sex is hot. "
" Honor Donovan, jewelry designer, travels to the Pacific Northwest to search for a missing brother along with a fortune in missing amber. Sweet little mystery, with good chemistry between the characters. Amber Beach, good for the beach or any lazy day. "
" I actually stopped reading it. I didn't like it at all. "
" Very good Author!! She tends to tie in characters from other books and they all keep you moving!! This was the first of the Donovan Series. The first one I read was Pearl Cove then went back to read the other 4 or 5 she tied them to! Excellent must read books!! "
" Fictional drama, love story between a strong man & woman. I did learn alot about the history of Amber and what it means to the Russians. Easy, entertaining read. "
" I picked this book up at one of my book exchanges. Not really my taste but it was a quick beach read-which is where I read it...on the beach and soaking up the sand and surf! "
" Romance....summer read. "
" good romantic suspense, nice light reading. Spicy! "
" I'll give this 3.5 stars. It was a good story and I liked the characters and their banter. "
" I finished this book with a sigh of happiness and thus it receives my highest rating. I enjoyed the mystery; the plot twists and the romance. I am looking forward to more in this series. "
" Not my cup of tea. "
" Liked all of Elizabeth Lowell's jem series. "
" Excellent series! Lowell goes into great detail on whatever subject she writes, which goes to show how much research she must do! Well paced book, full of intrigue, jewels and romance. "
" Great beginning to an awesome series "
" Wild ride with a lot of awkwardness! "
" My second read of this book....still love it! "
" I absolutely adored this book. The first two are my favorites, but after that, they seem to go down hill. My least fave being Midnight in Ruby Bayou. Though I'm still hoping (crosses fingers) that she'll change her mind and write Justin & Lawe's stories. "
" Wow, what a ride. Makes you want your own Donovan brother. "
" I really enjoyed this book. I just wish that the author had not spent so much time talking about the mechanics of sailing and fishing. I could have done without that. Instead it would be have been nice to have a bit more explanation about the folks behind the theft. "
" Slow start and pacing dragged during info dump dialogue scenes, but since it was Book One in a series, I read it through to the end. I'll give Book Two a shot, but if it's slow too, I won't be finishing it. "
" A thriller/romance, not worth reading. "
" Doubt I'll be reading another of her books - I found this rather boring. "
" quick easy read but good flow, interesting plot. "

" An enjoyable read, though a bit far fetched on the plot. "
" Another solid story by Elizabeth Lowell. Good romance, good plot, happy ending. "
" I love this series--great info about gems and the business, wonderful suspense, fabulous romance. Must reads for all romance lovers and those also those who enjoy Harlan Coban, John Grisham, Suzanne Brockmann, etc. "
" First and favorite book of the series. Action, suspense, romance, and history/info on amber. Can't beat the combination. I've kept all 4 books in the series and will read 3 of the 4 again with enjoyment. "
" I didn't finish this book. It was boring and sounded like lots of others. "
