I am incredibly thankful to be on Roseanna's launch team! Being able to read these books in her series has been a huge blessing! She sent me her book for review.

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?

My Review:

I haven't met a Roseanna M. White story I haven't loved. So far, though, Phillip Camden has been my favorite leading man of hers. That is until now. Now, Sheridan, aka Nefarious Marquess of SheriDoom, aka Lord Arrogance Personified Sheridan, and the list goes on. Oh my gosh, I'm not sure I've ever laughed in one of her stories so much! The way the author wrote what was going on inside his head was hysterical and seriously MADE the story. Sheridan is hands down, one of my favorite male leads!

Ok, that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed To Treasure an Heiress. Beth and Sheridan are a perfect complement for one another. Of course, Beth doesn't see it that way which makes their back and forth even better! The number of "highlights" I have because of their banter is very high.

While all of the characters were also in book one, I love them even more as a group in book two. They all work well together in all of the various aspects of the story. Beth is her usual adventurous self - getting into situations that she didn't mean to. I love how much Sheridan enjoys her spirit! And of course, I have to mention Sheridan's faith! While he realizes he has it, he also begins to understand that no one else realizes it. Such an important factor in our walk with Christ. Do others see Christ in us?

We also get to see Senara's struggle with sin's consequences. I always appreciate this about authors when they put in real life learning situations into their characters. None of us is too far gone to have our sins forgiven, but also that we need to ask for forgiveness as well. Ainsley, well, he's just a fine man! I adored his character fully! There's just something about this close-knit group of people that warms my heart.

Mamm-wynn is once again my favorite in this story (next to Sheridan, of course). She is the grandma I still want to be. I feel in love with her in the first story and was so tickled that she is full force in this one as well. She's such an alive character in the story. I feel like if I could just reach out and grasp her she'd tell me what I needed to hear!

So, what do I need? I need Telford and Emily to have stories so that they can live happily ever after with their friends. That's what I need. :) I can't wait for book three!
