My Review:
Andrea Ricard loves traveling with her uncle and unearthing antiquities for his business. When she discovers her mother’s maiden name on a map supposedly leading to a rare relic, she becomes obsessed with finding it. She meets Donald, Hugh’s brother, and sparks fly. She discovers another clue to her map in Hugh’s collection and begs Donald to join her in tracking down the relic. Together, they race across the countryside of France and England finding not only more clues to the relic’s hiding place but also love for each other. Can she and Donald solve the mystery, unravel the prophecy, and stay one step ahead of their enemy or will they lose everything, including each other?
Donald is book three in this enticing trilogy and one I couldn’t put down. There’s action, adventure, mystery, a treasure map, danger, and of course, romance. From the beginning, I adored Andrea and her love of antiquities. At the same time, I loved ruggedly handsome Donald. I’ve watched him throughout the series, and it was delightful seeing him fall in love with Andrea. The romance, balanced nicely with the adventure, carried the plot. I found myself staying up late reading, losing myself in the story. A superb ending makes this a must-read for any historical romance reader. Highly recommend!
