Summary
Fiona Carver has landed a dream assignment: conducting an archaeological inventory of Ruby Island， a privately owned， pristine gem in the Caribbean。 Two months in paradise exploring and mapping a lush rain forest， vast caves， and a seventeenth-century star fort and following up on legends of hidden Spanish gold。 Add a simmering reunion with wildlife photographer Dean Slater and it’s enough to take Fiona’s breath away。 But the sparkle fades when Dean’s arrival is met with sudden， terrifying danger。
Reunited and determined to see the project through， Fiona and Dean find themselves in a swirl of intrigue as they delve into the complex history of the unspoiled refuge， now a tropical haven for billionaires and their secrets。 But the work isn’t easy， as someone appears determined to kill the project—by any means necessary。
As betrayal casts tropical storm clouds over Ruby Island and treasured friendships dissolve into distrust， one thing becomes clear: Fiona and Dean are trapped in a dangerous paradise。

Fantastic book。I loved this book and wasn’t expected to feel so gutted over the characters。 I was excited to get this book and see Dean and Fiona get a happy ever after。 The first book left us in a cliffhanger。 The first half was a little slow but once I got halfway done， I couldn’t put the book down and the suspense level was high。 There’s too many accidents that happen that leave us wondering who the target is。 Also， just how obsessed Jude is with Fiona？ I also didn’t expect to cry so much， wi Fantastic book。I loved this book and wasn’t expected to feel so gutted over the characters。 I was excited to get this book and see Dean and Fiona get a happy ever after。 The first book left us in a cliffhanger。 The first half was a little slow but once I got halfway done， I couldn’t put the book down and the suspense level was high。 There’s too many accidents that happen that leave us wondering who the target is。 Also， just how obsessed Jude is with Fiona？ I also didn’t expect to cry so much， will Dean ever get over the loss of his wife and be in a real relationship with Fiona？ Thankfully we get a happy ever after。 I was lucky to win an autographed copy of this book and then I bought a digital copy so that it’s always handy。 I highly recommend this book。 。。。more

This is my first Fiona Carver book。 Fiona Carver book 2。 Contemporary suspense with a bit of romance。 Can be read as a stand-alone but better if the first book was read。 A dream assignment on a private Caribbean Island attracts the attention of archaeologist Fiona Carver and wildlife photographer Dean Slater。 Fiona arrives planning to map the rainforest and explore the 17th-century fort and caves。 Dean and Fiona have unfinished issues from book 1 and neither is aware that the other has agreed to This is my first Fiona Carver book。 Fiona Carver book 2。 Contemporary suspense with a bit of romance。 Can be read as a stand-alone but better if the first book was read。 A dream assignment on a private Caribbean Island attracts the attention of archaeologist Fiona Carver and wildlife photographer Dean Slater。 Fiona arrives planning to map the rainforest and explore the 17th-century fort and caves。 Dean and Fiona have unfinished issues from book 1 and neither is aware that the other has agreed to this assignment。 Once the initial shock at seeing each other wears off， they agree to work together and put the past behind them。 Unfortunately， someone doesn’t want them on Ruby Island and goes to great lengths to force them to leave。 The amount of research and the attention to detail is incredible， the excitement really falls flat， just enough to keep you reading but not enough to flip through pages engrossed in the story。 I was intrigued to read Crash Site upon seeing that it was following archaeologists， nature photographers and other aspects that I am always fascinated to read about。 It was nice to have thrills and a love story with archaeology as the backdrop。 I was gifted this advance copy by Rachel Grant， Montlake， and NetGalley， thank you for the opportunity。 。。。more

I have to say the first half of this book did not do it for me。 I thought it was very wordy and long but I decided to stay with it。 I am glad that I did because the end of the book was quite suspenseful。 The romance between Dean and Fiona was pretty darn good too。 Fiona is quite the explorer and very resourceful。 The beauty of the island with it's wildlife was very well described。 I did not read the first Fiona Carter book & I am not sure I would read another just do to the wordy beginning。 Than I have to say the first half of this book did not do it for me。 I thought it was very wordy and long but I decided to stay with it。 I am glad that I did because the end of the book was quite suspenseful。 The romance between Dean and Fiona was pretty darn good too。 Fiona is quite the explorer and very resourceful。 The beauty of the island with it's wildlife was very well described。 I did not read the first Fiona Carter book & I am not sure I would read another just do to the wordy beginning。 Thanks to #netgalley， #montlake & @rachelsgrant for an ARC of this book for an honest review 。。。more

This story was an enjoyable mystery/suspense read with a romantic piece。 However， I do not consider this a romantic suspense。 First， I really do not like Dean。 He is so opposed to commitment I wanted to bang his head into something。 Fiona on the other hand is endearing and likable！ This is the second book where these two are still push/pull with each other。 Maybe they will end up together in the end， but honestly， I kind of hope they don't。 If you took the "romance" subplot out of the book， I wo This story was an enjoyable mystery/suspense read with a romantic piece。 However， I do not consider this a romantic suspense。 First， I really do not like Dean。 He is so opposed to commitment I wanted to bang his head into something。 Fiona on the other hand is endearing and likable！ This is the second book where these two are still push/pull with each other。 Maybe they will end up together in the end， but honestly， I kind of hope they don't。 If you took the "romance" subplot out of the book， I would have given it a higher rating。 Maybe because I read SO MUCH romance I have a different set of standards， but I went into this book thinking it was a romantic suspense and it is a suspense with a "love story"。 。。。more

Outstanding action and suspense。 Great character development and fast-paced。 Fiona and Dean have the SLOWEST burn romance I’ve ever read， which I hated because book one was an unexpected cliffhanger。 So I was thrilled with their progress in Crash Site！ Now I’m looking forward to what’s in store for Fiona and Dean next。
