I enjoyed reading this review. The enthusiasm of your experience says a lot. The plot itself, though, was not attractive to me. I don’t think it’s a story I would like as much as you did, especially because of the characters.

Thank you for sharing.

Considering the title of this novel, I would have expected Greta to be the most developed character. However, a romantic adventure with historical roots in the famous gold rushes sounds interesting. Thanks for a great review!

A great review of the book has been given. But i am not so into the book as the theme of treasure hunting did not fascinate me. Greta characterisation was weak. And i am not even a fan of romance with historical roots. But this book will be a good one to those who love this type of storyline of treasure hunting. Although, to say, this is a good book and it is perfectly rated.

I like the book's portrayal of Gret in a positive light as a leader of a large corporation and heir apparent to her father's business. I wish though, her character was better developed. Thanks for the wonderful review.

You had me at romance. I love a goodove story, especially one that the romance is between two people that have complications that could keep them apart. "As the couple faces family secrets, ambition, betrayal, blackmail, and the hunt for a lost gold mine, will their relationship be strengthened or pulled apart?" This seems to be my kind of story and I cant wait to see what happens between them. Congratulations on BOTD.

I really appreciate stories with strong women, although it is a shame that you were unable to connect with her. Maybe I will have a different experience with it. I also like stories with historical roots and romantic adventures can be fun, so I might give this a shot. Thank you for the helpful review.

Greta looks like someone who is not very much in touch with her emotional side and is not comfortable with emotional expression. I think I would like her character. And I do like the tension in the plot. It would surely keep a reader engaged. However, I don't think this is for me as I'm not interested in a mining adventure, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the amazing review.

I do enjoy reading about the lifestyle of the rich and famous and how they got there. Panning for gold seems like a sure-fire way of doing just that. The stern, staunchly mannerism seems to be how most magnates are portrayed and their children always try to live up to their expectations.

A romantic adventure with historical sounds intriguing but the idea of gold mining is the turn off to me because I'm not into it. Hence, I have to let this one pass.

Despite the additional information about gold mining in a romantic story, glad that that topic seemed to be interesting and did not ruin the lovey-dovey mood. This love story seemed exciting too! Not my kind of book though, but thanks for the review.
