To Treasure an Heiress continues Roseanna M. White’s The Secret of the Isles series with humorous dialogue and an exhilarating adventure.
Book Blurb
Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. As an adolescent, she dreamed of love in London’s ballrooms. Now, stumbling across an old map on her family’s property, she’s found more adventure than she ever craved in the hunt for pirate treasure. Unfortunately, Beth can’t escape the attentions of her family’s guest, Lord Sheridan.
Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests caught his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth’s search connects with one of his favorite pirates of history, 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 the true surprise is the treasure they discover in each other.
My Thoughts
Since reading The Nature of a Lady last year, I have anxiously awaited Beth and Sheridan’s story. To Treasure an Heiress did not disappoint.
From the beginning, I loved their banter. And White did a fantastic job writing Sheridan’s thoughts. I loved him as a hero, with his thirst for knowledge and bumbling nature. I spent part of the novel’s beginning wanting to shake Beth. But it made her change of heart a bit more satisfying.
And the adventure is just as exhilarating as it was in The Nature of a Lady. I loved the twists and turns of the plot as they searched for Prince Rupert’s treasure. Their search came to a satisfying conclusion while still leaving room for another adventure.
As for the spiritual side of the novel, I enjoyed the exploration of drawing close to God and the power of prayer. However, the subplot featuring Senara had the best spiritual arc, in my opinion. Senara’s lesson about guilt and shame and Christ’s forgiveness is a powerful one we could all learn from.
Overall, To Treasure an Heiress is a sweet historical romance that abounds with adventure.
