For Love or Jewels: The Curiosity Keeper Book Review

Image
  I enjoyed  The Curiosity Keeper  because it had a decent story. It's Book 1 of the Treasures of Surrey series, but the other two books in the series seem to be about other characters that are in Fellsworth, perhaps later or before Book 1 takes place; I don't remember coming across any of them in  The Curiosity Keeper . Since the rest of the series doesn't relate to Camille and Jonathan, I won't be reading them. The stories don't grab me the same way. Summary The Curiosity Keeper by Sarah E. Ladd is a Regency romance that alternates between two points of view: that of Camille Iverness, a shop owner's daughter in London, and that of Jonathan Gilchrist, the village apothecary in Fellsworth and heir to Kettering Hall. One night, Jonathan's father is robbed of his Bevoy Ruby and he suspects the man who sold it to him is to blame. He demands that Jonathan meet up with an old acquaintance Jonathan dislikes to track down the ruby and prevent the family's ruin.
