Read by Theme discussion

This is the book I have, but I couldn't get it to come up in the other section but it is blue!

It would seem there's no way to attach a particular ISBN to a thread (unlike comments, which allow specific editions). Rather unfortunate when it comes to cover themes like this month's...

Anyway, looking forward to hearing what you think of this. :)

I picked this book because it had a blue cover without reading what it was about. This book was in a box of books that my son bought me at an auction so when I picked it I didn't realize it was the 2nd book in a trilogy, but luckily it did a great job as a stand-alone book so I wasn't lost with what was happening.

Romance books aren’t really one of my favorite genres but I was entertained by this book even thought there were large parts of it that I thought were a bit silly. I spent a lot of time wondering how the heroine managed to survive on her own as an adult because her naivetés is so over the top that it’s unbelievable but Gideon’s reaction really saved the story. I’m not a real fan of the love at first site or within a few days of meeting but Krentz did a good job with this one. I like the treasure hunting aspect of the story and wish it had brought more of that into the book but it was touched on briefly here and there but never a main focus of the book.
Overall, I thought it was a good book to pass time with on a rainy day, at the beach or if you’re going to be spending a lot of time in waiting rooms.

Summary of the book: The main characters are Sarah and Gideon. Sarah is a romance writer with an exaggerated case of “intuition” and Gideon is the author of a low budget magazine for adventurers and treasure hunters. Sarah and Gideon wrote letters for 4 months while she was researching treasure hunting for her new novel. Sarah’s intuition then tells her that Gideon is the man for her and it is somehow tied into the treasure map that is a family heirloom of hers that is supposed to lead the way to the Fleetwood jeweled earrings. She also has decided from the 4 months of letter writing that they are in love and he is her hero come to life. All of this comes as a complete surprise to Gideon when she shows up on his doorstep telling him he is going to help her hunt for treasure. Gideon is in reality an extremely private person who lives with two misfit cats, who add a nice touch to the story, and is completely baffled by Sarah. I love a baffled man as it tends to add a bit of humor to any story. Sarah then starts her campaign to convince Gideon that he is indeed the man for her and Gideon spends a lot of time trying to figure out what is going on, while trying to keep her with him so he can act on his attraction.
