A clue to an ancient lost treasure reveals a deadly mystery spanning centuries.
But will Rosalina and her ex-fiancé, Archer, live to salvage it?

I pushed her away. All because of my stupid nightmares.
But now I want her back. I can’t live without her.
So when she calls me in the middle of the night with a clue to the treasure that ruined my childhood, I have to go to her. She wants us to find that treasure to solve the dark past that haunts me.
But now it’s not about finding the treasure that my father died for, it’s about proving to her that we’re meant to be together.
Trouble is, my talent for finding treasure is as good as my talent for finding trouble.
And when she’s kidnapped by a madman out for revenge, I’ll do anything to save the woman I love.

⭐ Second chance ⭐Quest of answers ⭐Opposites attract ⭐Broken hero ⭐Dark secrets⭐Tragic childhood ⭐Fiesty heroine ⭐Kidnapped ⭐Redemption

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping - a great romantic suspense!
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2016

The three year romance between Rosalina and Archer was destined to fail – Archer was keeping secrets from Rosa as well as suffering horrendous nightmares most nights. He wouldn’t talk about them; nor would he discuss his past. Rosa had had enough – after one particularly nasty argument, she packed up all her belongings and hightailed it from Sydney back to her home in Italy. Her heart was broken, but she knew it was for the best.

But one thing led to another and eight months later Archer was flying to Italy from Australia, while his mate Jimmy sailed Archer’s luxury yacht to the Greek Islands where they would eventually meet up. Archer’s search for answers to a mystery which had eaten into his life for the past twenty years was suddenly given a much sought after clue, and by Rosa no less. So accompanied by her long-time friend Alessandro, she joined Archer on Evangeline to hopefully solve the problem, with Jimmy and the chef, Ginger also on board.

As they island hopped, searching all the while, Archer didn’t let his guard down – with evil close behind, Archer knew they would stop at nothing to beat him in solving the 700 year old mystery. But would Archer at last find peace from the tragedy of his past? And would they manage to solve the mystery and stay safe?

Treasured Secrets by Aussie author Kendall Talbot was absolutely nothing like I expected it to be! The cover picture led me to believe it would be a romance – yes there was some romance involved, but much more intrigue and suspense rippled through the story than I had imagined. I loved it! Gripping and intense, it was hard to put down. I was totally involved and can’t wait to read the next in the series, Treasured Lies. Highly recommended.

I loved this book from start to finish the setting fabulous we start in Cairns Australia then off to Italy then the Greek Isles in search of a treasure that is around 700 years old and with a mad priest after the hero Archer who has been through so much in his life and still suffers from some of the things he has seen and the heroine Rosalina the woman that is determined to help Archer. This is a journey that is filled with action a very sensual romance and an emotional ride to such a lovely HEA the characters jump from the page at you they are so real and I am looking forward to another in this series later in the year. If you love fast paced action and a beautiful romance this is a story for you and I highly recommend this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Storyline but...
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2023

I love the story and the characters. The reason I can only give 3 stars is because the main characters repeatedly call the villain a "freak" because of a health condition that he has no control over. I know this person is the villain, but using a derogatory slur towards anyone is just disgusting and it made me like the characters less. You have a great book without that behavior.

Kendall Talbot delivers another amazing story. I'm so excited about her "Treasured" Series. The story of Archer and Rosalina and the mystery of solving and finding a lost ancient treasure will keep you turning the pages. The evil priest, Nox, is so scary and ruthless.
The cover does not do the book justice - it's far from a romance set in Tuscany, but an action packed adventure through ancient church, tombs, the Greek Islands and diving for treasure while being pursued by the baddies.

Breathtaking. Amazing. Woohoo!

This treasure secure has found a entertaining series and looking forward to the next novel in this series. However, I wish to have experienced more of the finding of the treasure rather than a quick finish. I don't know what you have in-store for your readers in the next installment. But, publish the last chapters with some creative outcome. An let us savior the treasure found.

Absolutely thrilling! I was captivated from the first pages. This story has intriguing characters, thought out storyline and a villain with a terrifying personality. I really enjoyed the history lessons and can appreciate the research and dedication. I’m anxious to continue their treasure hunting journey.

This is a great story, flowed all the way through but had a predictable ending very early in the story. A great read to just chill out with.
I like the way this author writes, as you are kept guessing what little twists there will be included in the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shark vs Toaster
Reviewed in Australia on April 28, 2015

"Shark attacks here are incredibly rare, less than one per year. You’ve got more chance of being killed by a toaster.’
‘Va bene.’ Alessandro huffed. ‘I think I’ll take my chances with a toaster.’"

For all those like Archer (and me!) who'll take the shark over the toaster...

Shipwrecks and sharks and diving and treasure hunting and romance and awesome food and medieval history? How could I not snap this book up the moment I saw it? Better yet, it was brilliant. I'm delighted to hear there's a series, because I definitely want more.

Having read Ms Talbot's Lost in Kakadu, I know she can bring you right into the heart of the characters, all the while transporting you to beautiful scenery that you see through the characters' eyes. I still wasn't prepared for how much I enjoyed this, though - from awesome underwater seascapes to the streets of Florence, complete with the aroma of Rosalina's amazing cooking. It's a heady mix, even without a centuries-old treasure hunt.

The treasure hunt is reminiscent of Dan Brown, Lara Croft or Indiana Jones, with plenty of action and adventure, though the romance elements (I shall give you no spoilers, so I can't say who this blossoms between) certainly take the edge off, making this more romantic suspense than a thriller. At one particularly nailbiting moment, I found my heart racing, wanting to stop reading because I couldn't stand to watch (read?) what was going to happen next, while at the same time absolutely needing to know...

Five stars. No question.

I thought this was a good read with the mystery involved and the romance.At first it was hard to see how a necklace worn by the main character could relate to a shipwreck and priests of a long time ago. A good suspense story hard to put down.
