Estas legendarias joyas serían la llave de una estatua de la diosa, en cuyo interior habría un tesoro. Ahora han desaparecido y para encontrarlos Beatrice recurre a un experto en el tema, el huraño y excéntrico conde de Monkcrest. Leo de Monkcrest es acusado de practicar magia y otras artes sobrenaturales en la soledad de su castillo. La repentina llegada de Beatrice le disgusta, aunque pronto siente una inexplicable atracción por ella. Trata de evitar la búsqueda de mítico tesoro pues teme por su vida. Pero ni siquiera reteniéndola en sus brazos podrá acabar con el peligro. En Londres un grupo de villanos espera pacientemente que Leo y Beatrice los conduzcan al tesoro para después asesinarlos. Natt90 | Jan 16, 2023 |  ) phyllis2779 | Nov 7, 2022 | 4 Stars Impoverished following the death of her husband, Beatrice Pool earns her living writing “Horrid" novels. When her uncle dies under suspicious circumstances, Beatrice approaches the notoriously anti-social Leo Drake, Earl of Monkcrest “The Mad Monk” for assistance, and soon finds herself immeshed in a plot not unlike one of her books. Amanda Quick’s writing is somewhat formulaic but her stories never fail to entertain. The eccentric and enigmatic Leo has more than met his match in the intelligent and resilient Beatrice. She shocks him out of his loneliness and complacency while he teaches her to love and trust again. Their romance is sensual and relatively angst free, and their banter is witty and charming. The mystery is interesting with some intense and suspenseful moments. Nevertheless, the villains are quite predictable right up until the end where there is a surprising twist. All in all, a light and fun historical romance with engaging characters and an enjoyable plot. The 2nd book in the series focuses on different characters but I’m sure I will be no less entertained. ( ) Lauren2013 | May 24, 2018 | Publisher's blurb gives the main clues, but cannot convey the humorous dialog or the delightful plot twists. A nice book for a day when heavy reading is not wanted, but want something interesting. Barbara Rosenblatt is a delightful audio performer who rarely hams it up, yet snarks very nicely.
