From the time she was little, Martha Jankowski has been digging in the dirt, much to the dismay of her mother.

In a race against time, he and his team are bent on unearthing a complete skeleton to claim a museum exhibit with their names on it. But when Jacob meets their charming competitor Martha and uncovers foul play within his team, love and danger grow hand in hand until a menacing ruse threatens to destroy it all.

Enthralling Historical

I was just as enthralled by book two in The Treasures Of The Earth series as I was with book one. Each book is a standalone but I highly recommend not missing out on being glued to your seat as you quickly turn pages. I love the science lessons on paleontology and what tedious work it is to excavate a site. I can’t imagine the patience it would entail especially during the dinosaur wars which upped the ante to finish quickly without rushing and causing unrepairable damage. The dangerous mystery contained within the pages had me flip flopping in my guess of who it was but I was able to figure out after a while. The author does a great job of keeping you guessing and trying to figure out why. It was shocking to learn the extent of it. I enjoyed reading the quotes from Earl Douglas before each chapter. I found the characters believable and loved the Faith thread that was woven throughout. The romance was tender and brought everything together with a satisfying ending. A very impressive read that leaves you with a feeling of wanting to read more. I highly recommend reading. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
