I’ve read this author’s books in the Whispers on
the Moors series – The Heiress of Winterwood, The Headmistress of Rosemere, and A Lady at Willowgrove Hall. I liked those and was happy to
have the chance to read this one. This is the first in a new series called Treasure of Surrey.
All Camille knows is working in her father’s curiosity shop
in London. He has a head for adventure,
not business, but her father’s strange behavior is making her uneasy. When a strange man comes to the shop and
harasses her about her father’s whereabouts, she finds herself in a dangerous
situation.
Jonathan is at the shop to ask after a ruby that was stolen
from his father. The fate of his
family’s estate and his sister’s upcoming marriage are on the line. Even though he is quite happy as an
apothecary living in his modest cottage, he’s the heir to the estate and wants
to help his father. When he hears the
scuffle inside, he rushes in to save the day.
Camille soon discovers that her father doesn’t care for her
and takes up Jonathan on his offer to take her to the country and start a new
life at a local school. Her past won’t
leave her alone, and she can’t tell whether Jonathan’s family truly likes her
or is trying to get information from her.
When her past finally catches up, both Camille and Jonathan will choose
what they think is the most important to them.
This was a pretty good book.
I liked the characters and liked how unusual and unique the story
was. The next book in the series is due out May 10, 2016 and is called Dawn at Emberwilde. I look forward to it! Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
