Book Description

June 2001 Avalon Romance
Mary Beth McKinley bought her dream home against the advice of everyone she knows. But it was hers: leaking roof, rotten wood and all. However, the task of restoring the 100-year-old home is a much larger undertaking than she could have ever imagined.

So when Cameron Reece arrives at her doorstep with plans to dig for hidden treasure in her backyard in exchange for manual labor, she readily agrees. After all, the roof is leaking and her teacher's salary isn't stretching far.

Eventually, she finds out that there's more to this treasure hunter than she had originally thought. His great-grandmother buried the treasure years ago and left word as to its whereabouts but no one ever found it. Now, through a letter addressed to his grandfather, Cameron has an idea where the treasure was buried--on the property that now belongs to Mary Beth. Eventually, they find an old journal that offers more clues to the treasure.

Together they go through rainy days, leaking roofs, electrical outages, poison ivy and meddling parents to discover not only the treasure buried in the yard, but a true love of their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding Love's Fortune, October 1, 2002
This review is from: Finding Love's Fortune - An Avalon Romance (Hardcover)
If you want a really sweet feel good romance, then this book is for you. I fell in love with this book and the characters. Mary Beth and Cameron are just so right for each other from the minute they meet as he seeks to find a buried treasure and she, with his help, make repairs on her house, while they are discovering love with each other and doing what they want to do in their lives. This is a very good book that will make you feel good inside!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet romance, June 26, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Finding Love's Fortune - An Avalon Romance (Hardcover)
If you are searching for a book that you can share with your family, and especially a romance that you could give to your 13 to 17 year old daughter, this is an excellent choice. As an adult, I enjoyed it, but there was a little less tension than I would have liked. I gave it four stars because it is a very good choice for a young adult. The characters were very likeable, but, as I mentioned, there might have been a little more excitement, without losing the innocence.
