I had never heard of this author before seeing the book recommended on an Amazon list. I'm glad I read it; a beautiful relationship developed between the H/H and I enjoyed how the author got in their heads a bit and let me know what they were thinking and feeling. There was never any animosity between the two; none of the "I hate you" "I love you" stuff that becomes so tiring in some stories. The secondary characters were not outstanding, though a couple of them contributed to the development of the leads (is that confusing enough?). The "treasure hunt" story was a bit weak, I thought, and based on that alone, I probably wouldn't have given more than 3 stars. The admiration, respect and true liking between the H/H and the lack of a 'stupid misunderstanding' plot device sold me. Oh, the intimate scenes were pretty steamy, too!
