Laura T. reviewed on
When you hear that a book has been selected by fans as one of the "Best Romance Novels of the Decade," you have to have pretty high expectations. I must admit, I did not expect this one to meet mine. I was pleasantly surprised when it did.
Ms Chase creates an interesting premise in which our two main characters share a passion for antiquities. In fact, Jessica outwits Sebastian neatly in their very first encounter.
The rest of the book is the chase (so to speak) as the two grow from a grudging respect to much, much more. My only hesitation in not giving the story a full 5 stars is that I am unimpressed at the lack of creativity that features a smart, sassy sister who must save her good-for-nothing brother (and the family) from ruin. Otherwise, this story is top-notch.
Story: 4.5
Romance: 4.5
Overall rating: 4.5 stars
