"Calypso is not a Goddess to be taken lightly"
The West Indian Day parade was as close to Barbados as Eve
Shayne thinks she will ever be. She knows nothing of her
heritage, that she is a link to the lost treasure of Samuel
Lord, the man who fell in love with and was loved by, the
Goddess Calypso. Little does she know that someone is
searching for her and, when found, she will be the final
piece to his puzzle and if that piece fails to cooperate,
she will die. If that happens, Calypso will rise and
create sea storms never even imagined by humans. Caleb McPherson is pissed. His father was murdered in the
act of defending a relative of Calypso from discovery. All
he wants is revenge; he doesn't want to join an "old man's
club" who firmly believe like his father. He wants
justice! This is part of the fairy tales told by his
father when he was growing into manhood. Goddesses didn't
really exist! However, he takes the challenge of
protecting Eve in exchange for the chance to bring his
father's murderer to justice. Caleb saves her from a
kidnapping attempt, gains her trust and manages to convince
her that she must go to Barbados to meet her destiny. (Did
I mention she will turn into a living statue if she
refuses?) All seems well but, of course; is not. Damien
is ahead of them in Barbados, planning to kill Caleb and
Eve as soon as the treasure is found. This was a good, quick read. I truly enjoyed the
descriptions of Barbados -- they made an ugly March day into
something a lot better! The interplay between Samuel and
Eve was definitely worth the reading and overall, it was
just dandy!
