This is the second book in the Treasures of Surrey
series. The first title was The Curiosity Keeper.
Isabel’s life is changing in a big way. When she is whisked away from her humble
school to the grand Emberwilde estate, she finds herself surrounded by luxuries
she’s only been able to dream about. Her
aunt has ideas for getting Isabel and her sister settled, plans that don’t seem
to take Isabel’s wishes into consideration.
Colin has land of his own, but manages Emberwilde. He’s also the magistrate for the area and is
investigating smuggling in the supposedly haunted forest surrounding the
estate. He becomes intrigued by Isabel,
but her aunt doesn’t like him and tries to keep them away from each other.
This book had it all: rags to riches, smuggling, a haunted
forest…I loved it. It has just the right
balance of mystery and romance. The
mystery and intrigue were done in a great way, and the characters were
likeable. Isabel’s sister, Lizzie, was
also a treat with her spunky personality.
There are no references to the characters from The Curiosity
Keeper, so these can be read alone or out of order. I look forward to more from this author. Good Book!

in exchange for an honest review.
