An enjoyable story with a satisfying ending. Great messages without being preachy or unbelievably pure. I particularly liked the interaction between Maya and Brady. Definitely recommended.

This is a great suspense book full of mystery, drama, suspense and romance. Maya Gallo has been a mother to her little brother for years. Brady Gallo is such a sweet, happy boy. He loves mysteries and solving puzzles. His down syndrome just adds to his personalty. When Brady goes missing Maya must rely on the handsome deputy Alex Trevino to help. Alex, Maya and Brady all find themselves in more danger than they realized.

This book is well written with great detail and story line. I look forward to reading more from this town.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I enjoyed reading this. An interesting story with fun characters. Well written.

Buried Mountain Secrets was much better than I expected. I liked how the characters felt so realistic. I also found it refreshing to read a book that featured a character with Down syndrome...you don't find that much in fiction and I loved the awareness it brought.

I found the mystery to be interesting and there were several moments of intense suspense, which I loved. The romance was good, although not very memorable (at least to me).

All in all, I really enjoyed this book and recommend it if you like the genre.

Fresh Fiction made this a Fresh Pick today.

Maya's both has down syndrome and he went missing on a trail in the mountain side looking for a treasure everyone is welcome to if they can find it. On a mission to find him she gets attacked and patrolman Alex is there to lend a hand. As they find her brother they find out that the treasure everyone seems to be looking for has people who will do anything to get it even kill and now Maya and her brother seem to be a target. Alex will try to do everything in his power to keep the two safe.

Such a great book, there was so much going on that I had a hard time putting this book down. There was minimal romance going on but plenty of mystery to keep the readers going. Maya is such a great sister taking care of her younger brother and finds it hard to let him go to be his own person. Its pretty obvious shes loves him a great deal though the book seeing her concern and care go through every interaction. Then there's Alex the protector trying to keep things safe for the two, there was clearly something going down when it comes to the multiples attempts at Maya and her brothers and he needed to figure out why and who was behind all this mess. Overall this was a pretty great book I really enjoyed it.

A rich old man leaves leaves a treasure buried on a mountain, posting clues on the internet, sending a flood of treasure hunters into the Colorado Rockies, one of them is Maya Gallo's younger brother. Maya goes after him, and quickly finds herself in the murderous crosshairs of a group of very intense fortune hunters.



Deputy Alex Trevino is a mounted patrolman, working in the Rocky Mountains. He sees Maya in danger and offers his help in finding her brother, things escalate quickly and they soon find themselves fighting for their lives!



A fast paced adventure set in the dangerously beautiful mountains of Colorado, where the lure of treasure is strong, and family ties are tested. Filled with action and unexpected twists. I admired Maya for her strong faith and her fierce love of her brother, Alex has grown in his faith since moving to Colorado.



Brady is a very open and friendly person, he knows that he is different from the other kids. He loves puzzles and hunt lures him more than the prize.



Great characters, intriguing plot, with a treasure at stake. I enjoyed the setting and the characters, this was an enjoyable read.

Loved this well written romantic suspense. Great plot, setting and writing. I received an arc from Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.

This was a suspenseful and exciting story. I absolutely loved the character of Brady and felt he was the central part of the story. I appreciated that the author presented him in such a loving, positive way. The romance between Maya and Alex was meant to be. I enjoyed this one and will look forward to reading more of this series,

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this book. Maya is an extremely devoted older sister. Her brother is special needs but is trying to figure life out for himself. I think her brother Brady was my favorite character. The author did a wonderful job with him and showing how 'wonderful' and 'scary' things can be for these special people. It reminds me of a favorite cousin of mine!

Alex is a deputy in town that may or may not be being groomed by the sheriff to take over when the sheriff retires. He is given the lead on the case when Brady is missing and becomes very protective of the two siblings. There was action, some romance, and plenty of suspects. A few characters I wasn't sure of, one I didn't like at all and some that I loved! I liked the secondary story with Alex's father and that the author set up some of the characters for another book. I can't wait to read it!

It was a 5/5 for me. Loved the story and there was plenty of suspense.



Thank you to the publisher for the review copy of this book (via netgalley). I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

The was a DNF (did not finish) for me at about 28%. I was struggling to get into this story. It is very plot driven, so I didn't learn enough about the characters to feel invested in them. There was action right off the bat, and I wanted to know more about their feelings during these scenes. The only feelings that were super clear to me, because they were repeated multiple times, was that the main characters were attracted to each other, but did not want a relationship. It got a little annoying to me after a while. Then when I got to around the 28% mark, there was a lot of God talk and that just killed it for me. I'm not saying this is a bad book by any means, just not my type. I think if you don't mind religious characters and you like a plot driven story, you will probably find this book right up your alley!
