WINNIE'S REVIEW:
Mary Connealy continues her Golden State Treasure series with the second book, Legends of Gold. I would advise readers to read the first in the series before starting this one, as it is somewhat of a continuing story. Connealy does a good job of filling in the back story, but some of the threads continue through the series. I really love the strong female characters that the author creates. They are very interesting, competent, intelligent, and courageous, which is refreshing to read in historical fiction.
Rancher Josh Hart and orphan Tilda Muirhead are featured in this tale. When Tilda takes a teaching job on Josh’s family ranch, she is surprised by the arrival of Ben, who claims to be her brother. Josh takes on the job as Tilda’s protector as the mystery and suspense deepen.
BackCover Blurb:
On a risky treasure hunt in the rugged wilderness, can love trump all odds?
After years of solitude, Tilda Muirhead's life takes an unexpected twist when she accepts a teaching position at Two Harts Ranch following her cross-country pursuit of two brothers obsessed with a treasure map left by their grandfather. Tilda is now tasked with educating those mischievous MacKenzie boys, who are bent on remaining out west with the rest of their family until they find the hoped-for treasure. Then a man named Ben arrives, claiming to be her own long-lost brother. Raised as an orphan with no memory of her past, Tilda is both fascinated and wary of Ben's sudden interest in finding her.
When Ben's motives grow increasingly suspect, rancher Josh Hart suggests Tilda and the young MacKenzies set off on a quest with him that aims to protect Tilda while unearthing the map's secrets. As they explore the wilderness, Tilda becomes captivated by the history behind the map, though she doubts it leads to anything more than old artifacts. Yet danger looms ever closer, and Tilda and Josh must rely on faith and their blossoming love to navigate the treacherous path ahead.
A clean, witty, action-packed Western romance highlighting the bonds of family and the quest to belong. Fans of cowboy heroes, frontier romances, and hijinks adventure will be captivated.
