Legend has it that years and years ago Emelina Fleetwood discovered a treasure of gold and, before she died, buried it and then drew a map of the spot. A treasure map, which supposedly traces the path to their ancestor's pot of gold, has been handed down to each generation of Fleetwood women. The current map owner, Sarah believes in the legend and hires treasure hunter Gideon Trace to help her search. And he's more than willing to share her adventure.

Wow!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adventurer (Mass Market Paperback)
Book two in the trilogy. Long ago Emelina Fleetwood made a geometric map to the location of where she hid her five pairs of gemstone earrings and pasted it down to the next generation of Fleetwood women. Now in present time, Sarah is using the map to find the jewels. She contacts Gideon Trace, the treasure hunter, to help her.The problem is that someone else is hunting the treasure as well and has a deadly history with Trace. In addition, Sarah is convinced that Trace is the man for her and is determined to make him realize it. ***Treasure hunting is the fantasy of many people. This author made that fantasy into a very cute story. In my opinion, readers will find this story, as well as the entire trilogy, as time well spent!***

Best of older Krentz,
By Tanya V. "Bookwyrm" (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adventurer (Mass Market Paperback)
Plot Summary: Sarah Fleetwood has always gone with her instincts, and her gut instincts are telling her that Gideon Trace is her hero. Sarah wants to find the Fleetwood Flowers, gold and gem earrings owned (and buried) by her ancester Emelina. And Gideon, an expert on treasure hunting with whom Sarah has been corresponding, is just the man to help her find them. But Gideon isn't quite sure what to make of Sarah when she arrives on his doorstep and tells him just that!Krentz used to write a lot of category romances, and if you read a number of them, you begin to notice similarities between all her heroes and heroines. "The Adventurer" is not an exception. It is, however, one of the best of Krentz's earlier work, with enough freshness to keep it above the pack. Sarah is an immensely appealing character, impulsive, warm, and caring, and so forgiving of Gideon's defensiveness. Gideon is a wonderfully protective hero (even if he clueless about his own feelings). Their adventure -- to find the Fleetwood Flowers -- makes for an interesting plot surrounding their romance, and is intertwined enough in the development of that romance to make it intriguing. This is, in my opinion, the best of this trilogy, and one of the best of Krentz's work from the 80's. Enjoy!

Simply lovely,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adventurer (Mass Market Paperback)
A great respite from some of JAK's latest books like FLASH and EYE OF THE BEHOLDER (serious duds) is this reprint of THE ADVENTURER. I loved the adventure, I loved the hero, I loved the heroine, I loved the cats. Heck, I even loved the villain. Although the samples of Sarah's writing were silly purple prose that would never be published in real life, I forgave the story-within-a-story nonsense because the *real* story was so wonderful.I think Gideon Trace is arguably Krentz's best hero. He was daring and bold, with a great deal of chutzpah (sorry, to explain his chutzpah would give away the end), but wasn't brash and overbearing and was a man who knew where his talents lay. This story is just great. I only wish it had been fleshed out into a novel suitable of being released in hardcover. THE ADVENTURER is some of Jayne Ann Krentz's best work. Don't miss it!
