Unique Plot! Interesting Characters!

Emaline "The mad hatter" Hatter is ruthless, cold, experienced investment banker... And... Entirely female!When Emaline decides to help out an old family friend, by hosting a dinner party for HIS friend, a struggling professor.... Little does she realize that she will be suckered into investing in him, entirely out of sympathy!Professor Larence Digby has a dream. Finding the LOST city of Cibola. Unfortunately, that means finding rich investors who will finance him, because he is dead broke! When he meets Emaline Hatter he knows that he would like more from her than money- Can Larence convince Emaline to give love a chance?I /really/ cannot say enough positive things about this book! Emaline Hatter is a really great romance heroine. No 'twittering' virgin, Emaline loves one thing... MONEY! And she intends to have a lot of it! Larence is a naive 'absent minded professor type' who enjoys all the details that life provides. These two make a great pair!I recommend this novel for people looking for something different in romance!

Awesome

Wow for being a historical novel, this book defintly had a modern flair. I found it refreshing to have a heroine who wasnt A a virgin in her late twenties and B a heroine who didnt have an awful experience with sex.The chemistry was great and the love scenes were steamy.I recomend this book highly especially if you like take charge heroines!

A well crafted, good humored love story

I'm a guy and a reader of "guy" books. You know, Nelson DeMille, Tom Clancy, Ludlum, Follett. I suppose Nicholas Sparks got me started on romanaces with stuff like The Notebook and The Rescue. Then one day I found myself reading Kristin Hannah, and I ended in tears. Me! One thing led to another, and The Enchantment is the fifth of hers I've read. It's not her best - it's only the second book she wrote - but it's awfully good nevertheless. The initial interplay between the abrasive, arrogant rich lady and the calm professor-turned-adventurer is especially well-written and warmly amusing. Well worth your time.

A good read.

After a devastating crash on Wall Street, Emmaline Hatter finds herself completely broke with no one to turn to. Deciding that she really has NOTHING to lose, she joins Dr. Larence Digby's search for the lost city of Cibola. Cibola is rumored to have a wealth of riches & Emmaline wants her share of them. Larence has his own reasons for the search but he's unwilling to share them with Emmaline who scorns his beliefs & ideals at every given opportunity. However, the two find true magic & their love story will enchant you.
