"A Treasure Concealed," by Tracie Peterson

"A Treasure Concealed," by Tracie Peterson

Emily Carver longs to have a home of her own, but instead she endures a transient existence in the gold mining camps of Montana, where her father's hopes for riches lie endlessly buried. Promises of wealth from this wild land have brought only hardship and disappointment, causing Emily to wonder if her own modest dreams will ever see the light of day.

Caeden Thibault, a young geologist working for the government, is a man trying to escape the pain of his past, and the idyllic mountains of Montana serve his purposes well. In the course of his work, he has seen more than his share of starry-eyed gold seekers. So when Emily Carver catches his attention, he is intrigued by the fact that she isn't pinning her hopes on striking it rich.

Will an unexpected discovery come between them or draw them together?

This was an okay book.  Nothing overly exciting and you could easily guess what was going to happen next.  I did enjoy the description of everyday life in Montana.  I did not know there were sapphire's in Montana?  So that was something new I learned.

This is the first book in the series and honestly I am not fussed either way whether I want to read the next two books when they come out.  I did enjoy Emily, and thought her resourcefulness and strength made her a character to love.

Stars out of 5 : 3 This is a pleasant book to read in an afternoon or two.  However it is one of those books I won't remember in the next month or two.
