She was the penny earned!
Dr. Fred and Dr. Penny finally got it straight in their heads and hearts and are now poised on their greatest adventure of all, a life together building their family and enjoying being a family unit! To be totally honest, the stories were so good, I forgot about the treasure hunt. Even when they were pulling the clues together to find the final piece of what the old conman had done, I was still fixated on their lives together! I was surprised to see Mr. Stop show up and was glad he participated in locating the final piece of the puzzle and that he is getting his heated pool! My summer reading with you Olivia was just great! I love this series and hope there are more to come! Hey, maybe now that Lana is poised to become a detective, she can have her own adventure stories, what do you think? Great series, thank you Mrs. Olivia!!!!!!!!

Fantastic
The entire series was action packed full of suspense, laughter, family, friendship and most of the love story of Fred and Penny.
The clues was an added adventure in its self
Even adding Mr Stop from the Technicians series added a level of unexpected fun for Fred and Mr Stop
Olivia I loved all your books but this series while different from previous books is now my favorite
Great job as always, if you haven’t read this series don’t hesitate to get book one and if you are not familiar with The Technicians and Mail Order Brides check out Olivia’s catalog
Those are two of my favorite series and I own almost every book
Don’t delay Olivia is a great writer and has a avid and intriguing imagination

I have absolutely loved this series from the first page of the first book. I highly anticipated each release and they were 100% worth the wait. This series has given me a full respect for stories with historical information wrapped within the narrative, as well as adventure. I fell in love with every single character. The journey to love and the maturing of both Penny & Dr. Quartermine was so satisfying and wonderful to read about. My interest was always kept and I will now consider these stories as classics I will forever recommend. Oh, and the spice was great 😆10/10 highly recommend & will read again.

Cute
This is the first series of Olivia's that I read. It was nice getting to know the MCs and how both were legends in their own right that were misunderstood. The whole story just felt like we were still missing a little more depth- was Fred on the spectrum or was there reason for his intimacy challenges, what was the sleep thing all about, the sexy scenes were kind of muted, Penny's association with the cartel...what was that about, was it settled??? There were many unanswered questions. It was ok, but seemed to still be lacking for a 3 book series.

treasure love found
Great ending to the adventure. I really enjoyed this series of Penny and Fred. All the foes becoming friends and the blended families coming together. I wasn’t able to solve it but I was on the right track. I so loved how manly Fred is and how free spirited Peyton aka Penny is. I was able to laugh and feel the love through the pages. I give the entire series two thumbs up. Thanks for the adventure.

An adventurous read
I loved love loved reading this series. The adventures of Penny and Fred was amazing. I had my doubts, I’ve never read an adventure like this before from Miss Gaines. I honestly admit that I could not put it down until I read all three adventures.
From beginning to end, this story drew me in. I simply could not put it down. I can’t wait to read the next adventure novel

I never get bored or tired of reading anything Olivia writes. She gives you a story with hero's , laughs and steamy sex. Throw in a few twists and turns and you've got a wonderful adventure in your hands.

As always, Ms Gaines has produced another fantastic series.
I was unable to do the quizzes though. Maybe I'll give them another go!
