It
all starts with Heather discovering a dusty edition of The
Gentlewoman's Guide to Love and Courtship written by a Smitten
native, Pearl Chambers. Her curiosity aroused, Heather looks over the
book and finds a note indicating a treasure is to be found within its
pages. A little investigation indicates Pearl had always claimed to
have found a gold mine in the area – in fact, on the property to
which Molly has the mineral rights. Molly had lost her husband about
a year ago, a firefighter who died in action. Molly who is trying to
make a go of the adventure business she and her husband were
building. Molly, who is about to loose everything because of her
difficult financial situation.
Heather
soon gets her friends looking for the treasure. While not finding the
gold, she finds a treasure herself. As The Gentlewoman's Guide
gets passed around the group, each of the four women find romance.
These
romances are short and fast (only in novels, as they say). You are
not going to find any complex plots here. Just short and quick
romances. The stories are woven together as the mystery of the
treasure of gold continues to the very end. There are quotes from The
Gentlewoman's Guide as we read through the book. It was fun to
see Pearl's wisdom from a generation or two ago still applied today.
This
is a light read of pleasant romance.
