5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book.
It took the reader out of the usual Regency balls and parlors and takes us on a
road trip. Georgette Frost has never felt loved either from her academic
parents who didn't have time for her or to her cousin with a brood of children
to care for. Once Georgette hears about the stolen gold from the Royal
Treasury, she's off on a treasure hunt. Only she's interrupted by Lord Hugo
Starling who recognizes Georgette dressed in boy's clothing at the beginning of
her adventure. Hugo reluctantly agrees to escort Georgette north to her brother
who happens to live in the same village as the latest clue.
Ms. Romain is a masterful
writer and the banter between Georgette and Hugo is priceless--she with her
fairy-tale-starred eyes and Hugo with his academic and science mind. Both of
them exasperate each other throughout their meandering ever northward toward
clues of the stolen gold. Along the way each of them begin to change and see
the value in each other's point of view. Can Hugo let go of his master plans to
build a new hospital and see what's right in front of him? Can Georgette love
someone who's extremely logical and a planner for every situation? Fans of
regency romance who's looking for something a little different will thoroughly
enjoy this story.
I received a copy of
this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
