Bryce is bored. As a coin dealer, his life has gotten monotonous and he is praying for something to shake up his life. That prayer is answered in the form of Charlotte. She appears one night under mysterious circumstances and intrigues Bryce. She's offering him the opportunity to buy a collection of coins. If he says no, she's going to open up a coin store right next door and be his direct competition.
As the mystery surrounding Charlotte begins to unravel, Bryce wants to help her with her goals of distributing her grandfather's estate. Bryce comes to realize that the estate is much more than he imagined. Charlotte has a troubled past and hasn't said a word about the four years she spent kidnapped. Even though is has been 18 years, her past is still chasing her.
I hate to say this, but I wasn't very fond of this book. I had issues getting into the story. I don't know anything about antique/rare coins and the amount of detail about the coins became too much for me. There were also random details that I felt could have been left out and made the book easier to read. It definitely could have been shorter. I skimmed part of the second half of the book and thought that the suspense at the end was well done, but overall it probably could have lost 50-100 pages and the story wouldn't have been as bogged down with random details. And I still don't like antique coins. It was just okay.
*I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
