Summary

1906

Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, after stumbling across an old collection of letters and a map buried on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever anticipated in the hunt for pirate treasure. But in order to discover where the clues lead, she must search alongside Lord Sheridan, a man she finds insufferable.

Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests pique his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his far-removed pirate ancestors, he can't help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers.

As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But which treasure will bring the greatest surprise--the one they find in each other or the one just out of their reach?
 
Positives

Sheridan did not disappoint. In my opinion, he was not as awkward as he was in the last book, but I think lessening up on that aspect was what gave us all this other great page time seeing his heart. His and Beth’s banter was the best thing ever.

Beth . . . well, she could be a little annoying, especially there at the beginning. I think mainly because I was already in Camp Sheridan and waiting for her to wake up. J In which case, it worked perfect, because I was feeling that tension between the two of them. But you know what, I’m sure I’m annoying to people sometimes. It was great watching her grow past it and the care that she gave to her family even in her adventures and mistakes.

I’m very excited to see the dynamic between Telford and Emily play out, but especially between Emily and her family. It looks like it will be a golden opportunity to represent verbal and emotional abuse—a subject that is often not represented at all or represented very poorly making the survivors seem like wimps. And she did convince me to like Telford after how I hated him for how he treated Libby in the first book--I mean, he takes in stray animals and likes chocolate. There may be hope for him.

The climax was brilliant. The perfect mix of winning and losing. I won’t give away any more, but it was very well done.

Negatives

None.

Conclusion

To Treasure an Heiress is a book to treasure.
