This book is very different from the rest of her books. I did enjoy it very much. It kept me interested from the beginning. I recommend this book for other romance readers.

Unforgetable hero. Undeserving heroine.,
By MANUEL F. PEDRAJA "Pallas Athena" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Treasure (Hardcover)
I couldn't wait to read Kadar and Selene's story, as they were smartly portrayed in Lion's Bride to the point I wanted to read more about Kadar than Ware. Not your typical cookie cuter hero, Kadar was an unforgettable character who deserved a great story of his own.The Good: The story was interesting, the characters had a history together and they had a powerful bond from the start, which was a nice change from other romance novels where sex comes before love. The conversations were witty and entertaining, and the new characters developed quite nicely. The Bad: The prose was extremely simple. Short, crisp sentences with hardly any description of surroundings and much less the character's actions. The author kept that to a minimum, including the love scenes (both sexual and verbal)which are vital in romance novels. Sex was portrayed as very technical and almost unimportant, especially to Selene. The book was based and moved on dialogue. 300 plus pages of dialogue, that although redundant sometimes, was entertaining enough to be a quick read. The Ugly: Selene. Her strength and pride and her need to have everything her way went too far. She was bossy and pushy and too proud to admit her feelings and cooperate with the other characters. Her capriciousness and her attitude was so constant and convincing that the only thing that let the reader know she loved Kadar was the constant reminders of the narrator, totally ambiguous to Selene's actions. She whined about everything, was annoyed by everything and the mutual game she had with Kadar that everything had to be how she wanted WHEN she wanted became old and infuriating. In conclusion, the book was okay, I certainly was expecting much more. Kadar was the saving grace, yet not so much as to make the book worth it's price. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Irritating book,
By Mary "avid reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Treasure (Hardcover)
Iris Johansen's books follow a typically predictable pattern, but can generally be counted on to be a pleasant read.This book (which earns one star because I actally did manage to read the whole thing) was not pleasant to read. The entire book was filled with trite nonsense (that is the general formula, but in this book I found it highly irritating). I think maybe the reason is that the heroine was truly an unlikable character. By the end of the book, I had had more than enough of "Selene" and was glad to get away from her. The hero would have been much better off without her! 11 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Very Dissapointing,
By L. Kito - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Treasure (Hardcover)
I don't normally do reviews, but this is so disappointing for Iris Johansen,that I had to comment. This is written in such simple language like you'd see in a teen's romance novel. The story line isn't new...I've read one almost identical in the past. If I could return a "read/used" book, I would do so with this one.
