Ninety years ago, Millie Sullivan's great-grandmother was a guest at oil tycoon Howard Dawkins' palatial estate on the shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia. Now, Millie plays a 1920s-era guest during tours of the same manor. But when her grandmother suggests that there is a lost diary containing the location of a hidden treasure on the estate, along with the true identity of Millie's great-grandfather, Millie sets out to find the truth of her heritage--and the fortune that might be hers. When security guard Ben Thornton discovers her snooping in the estate's private library, he threatens to have her fired. But her story seems almost too ludicrous to be fiction, and her offer to split the treasure is too tempting to pass up . . .
Get ready for a romantic escapade through dark halls and dusty corners that will have you holding your breath and sighing with delight as two charming characters get caught up in the adventure of uncovering the past and finding their way to an unexpected future.
My thoughts: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was amazing!! I loved it!!
I read most of it in one sitting and didn't have the will to write down any notes because I was too caught up in the story! So notes would have been nice, now I'm just going off the cuff.
This book was adventurous, exciting, breathtaking, inspiring and just really really good!!
Millie was a great character. Funny, sweet, fiery are just a few adjectives to describe her.
Although at one point I was ready to scream at her!!
Ben was great too! Funny, strong, not your typical hero type. It was fresh and new and I liked that.
I loved learning about the St. Simons Island History is kind of my thing 😏
A time split novel, I really enjoyed how this book was written.
One world is told from journal entries from the 1920's, I loved learning about Georgia then!
I find history and the way of living 100's of years ago quite fascinating .
I also liked how the focus wasn't just on Millie. Ben had his own set of problems. I liked learning about both of their pasts.
And seeing them both grow from their mistakes.
"Yes ma'am." Millie's voice dipped into a thicker, deeper accent in those words every southern child knew.
This is the where I first fell in love with this book! As a southern child, I laughed and laughed because it is literally SO TRUE! 😂😂
The humor in this book had me laughing and the adventure and romance had me up until 4 AM.
I definitely recommend this book!
