Unlocked Treasure: Hauntings in the Garden

By: Linda Carroll-Bradd

Narrated by: R.J. Creighton

Aleen MacRae blames the lure of the sea for breaking apart her family and then her engagement. When her interest is caught by a man she sees both in person and in a dream, she resists - afraid to believe in her aunt’s prediction that her future is tied to the sea.

Braden Williams is on the hunt for treasure buried centuries earlier by Rhode Island pirates. His search brings him to the property where Aleen lives. Collaboration on genealogy research draws them closer, and Braden steers her toward his true passion - sailing.

Attending a party with Braden’s family lets her glimpse what she’s been missing. An unexpected discovery before her date with Braden at the Halloween Midnight Organ Recital forces a decision. Will Aleen play things safe or accept what this free-spirited man offers?

Good Short Story

I enjoyed the sweet love story. The imagery was great. I one thing I didn’t enjoy was the narrator’s voice had a good voice but the pitch was strange in some places.

Unlocked Treasure

The story is short sweet and playful. Aleen is not interested in someone so attached to the sea, because of her past. Braden seems to live for the sea and the secrets and family history it holds. Fun listen the narrator has a nice voice.

Heartwarming novella

Unlocked Treasure is a beautifully written novella. I loved how the characters of Aleen and Braden are developed. I loved the descriptive language and storyline. I can't wait to see how things play out later. I received this review copy per my request. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
