Synopsis: A wave of hope carries Olivia Frost back to her small New England hometown nestled in the beautiful Swift River Valley. She's transforming a historic home into an idyllic getaway. Picturesque and perfect, if only the absentee owner will fix up the eyesore next door.
Dylan McCaffrey's ramshackle house is an inheritance he never counted on. It also holds the key to a generations-old lost treasure he can't resist…any more than he can resist his new neighbor. Against this breathtaking landscape, Dylan and Olivia pursue long-buried secrets and discover a mystery wrapped in a love story…past and present.
Review: I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did, and I find myself surprised to be giving it a "recommend" rating. While Dylan and Olivia's story was predictable, Grace's twist kept me going.
There are quirks that made me roll my eyes, but the story is there. Quirks such as referring to men as "swashbucklers" or "swashbuckling" and the term "treasure hunter." It's just so fantastical and rather silly.
