Determined to achieve her goal, Christina has traveled to the Caribbean island of Robert’s Foe, where treasure hunter Mitch Crawford--the one man who can assist her--refuses to help.

Such a fun contemporary romance that melds intrigue of European history, thrill and excitement of nautical archeology and treasure hunting with breath-taking romance! If you are a fan of contemporary romance with a side of danger and intrigue, you will definitely love this book. It’s book 3 in Once Upon a Summer series but it’s a stand-alone book for sure.
Mitch is a famed treasure hunter who’s been wrecked by a personal tragedy and multiple blows to his company that may have him going under. Christina is a PhD in nautical archeology trying to find a partner to hunt for her ancestor’s sunken ship. Thrown into their romantic tension are two sweet children, funny and loyal friends, a couple of pretty nasty villains, and a whole lot of treasure to be found. It’s a delightful read you won’t want to miss.

I love treasure hunting stories: maps, ships, storms, sharks, pirates, thieves, deceits, booty traps, wild goose chases, prayer...and love, can't forget the love. Enjoyed this adventure from the first to last word.
...and am ready for hopefully more...

January 23, 2020A reasonably good book except for the excessive violence. This is the fourth book in this series and although the series began fine, each book seems to have more and more intrigue and violence.

Once again Lisa Bergen takes her readers on an exotic adventure! Caribbean Summer did not disappoint. The mix of travel, mystery, love and faith in God kept me unable to put the book down! The details of towns in Spain was exactly as they were when I actually visited the areas. This book reminds us that the treasures of life are the people we love. Thank you Lisa for great Christain books.

Gorgeous setting, the thrill of treasure hunting and amazing diving spots make for an exciting adventure. I've enjoyed treasure hunting along with Mitch and Christina! I devoured this novel in one sitting.

Delightful Caribbean Getaway
This was such a fun read- enough suspense, adventure, and romance to keep me reading to find out what happened next. It was the perfect Caribbean getaway for a cold, rainy winter day.

Wow! What a splendid book to read during the summer!
Wow!
Treasure hunting, beautiful tropical scenes, adventures, suspense, cute kids, and sweet romance, this book has it all!
I totally loved reading this book. I actually read it a long while back and forgot that I had, not because it didn't make a difference, but because it has a different title now.
I've always enjoyed reading books written by Lisa T. Bergren. Her writing is so refreshing and colorful.
This story was so full of adventures. I wanted to dive deep into the pages and never come out!
It also had beautiful examples of God's care and goodness, and what really should be treasures in our own lives!
This is a sweet book to read during the summer months and I highly recommend you pick it up.
I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

An enjoyable story, Treasure was an adventure that transported me to a private island in the Caribbean. When nautical archaeologist Christina is on the brink of discovering a major shipwreck, she enlists the help of treasure hunter Mitch. He's reluctant as first to get involved, but after Christina helps take care of the niece and nephew that are now in Mitch's care, he finds it hard to say no. As the two seek the treasure, they discover someone else wants it and their lives are suddenly in danger.
This is more of a love story than a suspense novel, but I enjoyed having a little danger thrown in. The setting was just spectacular. I'd love to have my own private island, complete with a waterfall and pool. I loved how the book didn't have everything come out how the characters wanted it to. They both developed and changed their priorities.

This fourth installment of the Full Circle Series speaks about trusting in God in all circumstances as well as setting aside greedy desires. The plot is well-developed and has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested over the course of the book. Christina Alvarez is an archeologist on the hunt for a family treasure ship that went down in the Caribbean. Her hunt for the treasure ship brings her into contact with treasure hunter Mitch Crawford. Although the two can't seem to get along, there is also chemistry between them. Over time, they begin to develop a deeper love, despite the "pirate" that is threatening to take the treasure away from them. Readers of the other books in this series will enjoy this romantic romp as well.

I enjoyed this like all the rest. Didn't get into it as much as the others, but gave it 4 stars since books 2 and 3 in this series have been my favorite so far-this was just a small notch down from them for me. I felt like the others had a little more pull in the romance and suspense. Overall a great, easy read!

I loved this book. It has been a long time since reading it, but I remember it was exciting as all get out. Enough action to keep your heart rate up and enough tenderness to make it ache.
