Helpful Score: 1
Similar in plot to her other titles of this period, such as Scandal. This one, though, takes place more through the POV of the hero, as opposed to the heroine.

An interesting romance that blends the study of ancient legends with a love story. Olympia Wingfield devotes herself to her one true passion: the study of ancient legends and long lost treasure. However, she is now in charge of 3 bratty nephews and has little time for her passion. The a handsome stranger walks into her library and sets her world right again. Soon she learns that he is not a lowly tutor but a rich earl with a wealth of money and secrets.

Typical Quick. A heroine whose intellect has made her unaware of her feminine side until it is awakened by, in this case,Viscount Chillhurst masquerading as the tutor hired by her uncle to teach the nephews she has taken under her wings. Add a lost treasure and a few villains... a good light read...

I liked the story and at the same time just a bit disappointed. I had high hopes for Olympia and Jared. I love her distractedness with the real world. And her concern for her three nephews. And her loyalty to her aunts. Jared's cool, collected intensity when going after what he wants is a great foil for Olympia. They do make a great couple. The mystery of the lost treasure added much to the story so I was disappointed to see it left unsolved at the end. Jared wouldn't take Olympia into society, he didn't think to give her jewelry. The least he could do would be to take her and the boys on the grand adventure of her life to the West Indies. Now THAT would have been romantic.
