Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
As long as they can remember Jane Hancock and Adam Ashford's families have been at loggerheads. The feud may have been their ancestors making, but they've never tried to resolve it. But when they realise that fate has played a hand, and for them to save their families, they need to work together to discover the lost treasure at the heart of the matter. However, only one of them can benefit from the discovery. Will Adam and Jane let bygones be bygones and seek out the treasure, in the hope of saving their family, or will they ruin their chances to spire their 'enemy'?
I've really enjoyed Sawyer's books in the past, and when this one was re-offered on NetGalley, I immediately requested it. I liked the idea behind Jane and Adam's family history, and loved how they both grew as the story continued. They weren't really enemies but because of family pressure, they've always had this sort of hatred for the other person. Being forced to be in each other's company for so long, as they trek the length and breadth of the country, they realise that everything they thought about the other person was false, and once they saw the reality, it wasn't hard for them to fall in love. Okay, there were some ridiculous moments across the pages, but some really sweet ones too, and the relationship felt very real by the end. A nice Regency read!
