Review: To Treasure an Heiress

To Treasure an Heiress by Roseanna M. White
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

Rating 4.5

This story had a slow start, but quickly captured my attention and kept me company well into the early mornings when I struggled with insomnia. Or maybe it was this story which created the insomnia.

“Double blast. That was the sort of observation that made it very hard to remember she didn't like him one bit.”

This was a great story! From fantastic characters, privileged villains, a treasure for pirate treasure and finding love, what was not to love. And I absolute LOVED Sheridan. He was funny, passionate, had a great sense of adventure and when you least expected it, DEEP.

“Because I'm here. What's the point of coming to a place if you don't learn about it? It's half the fun.”

I was smiling so much reading this story and mostly it was thanks to Sheridan and Beth's interactions. And Sheridan's sisters was an added fun Bonus.

Some readers were a bit disappointed in book one. Be sure to know it will not be the case in this one. Not only do you get the fantastic characters, there is fights and danger, but more than that, this book was filled with so much faith and spiritual wisdom.

“That we ought to stop worrying that our every word is wrong and instead let the Master Craftsman wield us however He will. There may be stray chisel marks, the times we slip. But He'll still set the stone where it belongs. We just need to remember our lives are a monument to Him, not to ourselves.”

The theme that we are treasured and Loved by God was so strong and the truth about that God has forgiven us, that we are cleansed and redeemed, was strongly delivered.

“He makes us with great worth. Creates us that way intrinsically. Our sins, our bad choices, perhaps they coat us like mud. But the mud cannot take away the value He instilled in us. But He loves us, as does the Father. Because we are valuable. And the blood of Christ, when it washes us clean, fully restores us to what He created us to be.”

Okay, looking back on my thoughts, I'm bumping up my rating to 5 stars. Sheridan totally deserves that!

About the book:

Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. As an adolescent, she dreamed of love in London's ballrooms. Now, stumbling across an old map on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever craved in the hunt for pirate treasure. Unfortunately, Beth can't escape the attentions of her family's guest, Lord Sheridan.

Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests caught his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his favorite pirates of history, he can't help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers.

As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But the true surprise is the treasure they discover in each other.
