She has a
passion for unlocking the secrets of the past…
Archaeologist Carter Wessex is drawn to Farrell
Mountain to solve a centuries old mystery- and find a fortune in hidden gold.
One thing stands in her way: Nick Farrell, a notorious corporate raider with no
patience for trespassers on his land, and way too much sex appeal. After an
explosive introduction, Carter abandons the project…but with Nick in hot
pursuit.
What she
finds is something more valuable than gold…
Though wary of Nick’s change of heart, Carter is soon
swept up into the mystery- and the arms of a man she swore she’d never fall
for. As buried secrets surface and passion grows, the shocking details of the
missing gold are revealed. So are Nick’s true motives, leaving Carter to
wonder…has everything between them been just another cunning ruse? And how many
more secrets has he yet to share? It will take a heart of gold to find the
truth—and have faith in a timeless love...
As some of you might know, I'm a huge J.R. Ward fan. After reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series I'm pretty much willing to read everything she writes. And this one didn't disappoint. It wasn't as good as the BDB books, but let's face it, what is?
I immediately liked Carter, she's strong and independent and doesn't let big bad Nick walk all over her. She's determined to keep things with him professional, but eventually she falls for his charm. I don't blame her, she lasted longer than I would. Of course there are some complications after they first give in to the lust they both feel. Otherwise the book wouldn't have 384 pages. Nick isn't entirely honest and Carter isn't putting up with his lies. But the question is, is Nick gonna continue chasing after her, even when she makes it very clear to him she's done with him and never wants to see him again?
Heart of Gold is a fun and sexy read. Nick is a dark and handsome guy that made me swoon instantly. I really liked the book so I'm gonna give it 4 stars.
