About: 

When Tressa Harlowe's father dies unexpectedly, she and her mother are left wondering where the vast fortune he left is hidden. But they aren't the only ones looking for it- fortune hunters, even family members are keen to get it before anyone else. And Tressa isn't sure what to think about the unusual, yet dashing new vinery manager. Is he friend or foe?


My Thoughts:


Prepare for a romantic, slightly gothic tale whenever you read a Joanna Davidson Politano novel! She leads you on a mysterious journey through old England where the scenic is foggy and you don't know what will happen next. Needless to say, this was a good read. 

I loved reading about Tressa's growth and faith journey, in comparison to dashing Donegan Vance's seemingly strong, always steady personality and walk with God. He was definitely a unique character, as was Tressa, and enjoyed reading about them both. A hero and heroine, in every sense of the word, that you'll definitely enjoy!

   Not everything is black and white (in real life, what is?) which makes it a multi-layered story. The quest for the treasure, put against the invisible time limit, kept your eye on the pages and your attention on what was happening in the story. Thoroughly enjoyable, and I'd definitely recommend it to any historical mystery fan who likes books set in England. The misty scenes and large estate made for the perfect atmosphere, and I can't say enough about the engaging characters, scenery, and adventure. Definitely a keeper!

Note: I got this book from Revell in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

    I continue to forget when I go on a book shopping spree that Joanna's second novel is now available. It's definitely one I'd like to read, so I appreciate this reminder and knowing you enjoyed this one, Korin. :)
