Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Identical daughters of twin brothers, Anastasia and Breanna Colby become inseparable in childhood and fiercely supportive of their beloved English grandfather's ideals of loyalty to the family and its business. Even Anastasia's 10 years in America cannot break the two cousins' bond. When Anastasia, 20, returns to England from Philadelphia in 1817 following her parents' death, she is determined to assume an active role in the operation of the family import-export business, Colby and Sons. Her Uncle George, Breanna's father, offers her a home, hoping to gain control of her vast inheritance to cover his mounting debts. But Anastasia's father has named Lord Sheldrake, a wealthy and respected banker, not George, as the young woman's guardian, in charge of her fortune until she turns 21. George watches with horror as his niece uses a portion of her inheritance to establish a bank back in Philadelphia, a venture in which she persuades Sheldrake to become an active partner. Ultimately, the cousins and Sheldrake uncover the mystery of George's financial losses, nefarious business dealings and hatred of Anastasia in a fast-paced finale that nearly costs Anastasia her life while heralding Breanna as a heroine. Kane's engrossing plot and her quick-witted, passionate characters should make readers eagerly await this novel's companion, The Silver Coin (scheduled for September), in which Breanna may pay the price for her bravery.

Romance At It's Very Best!,

This review is from: The Gold Coin (Mass Market Paperback)
I just discovered Andrea Kane recently, and I truly cannot wait to ready ALL her books. For those of you, like myself, who are TRUE romantics--you will LOVE Andrea Kane!! She combines romance and mystery in an exciting and heart-melting manner, in which I was not able to put her book down even for a minute. I am an AVID reader of romance genre, but lately have become rather bored with the average romantic tale. Andrea Kane's, The Gold Coin, was the first book in a long time that helped me remember why I love these books so much. Thank you Andrea! You are by far one of the best I've had the pleasure to read.

Great read!,

This review is from: The Gold Coin (Mass Market Paperback)
I feel as though I need to respond to all of the reviewers who have trashed "The Gold Coin." Yes, it may not be as historically accurate as other Regency romances and yes, the mystery dominated the second half of the book, but I found it a truly entertaining weekend read and a nice break from the typical story! Damen was the perfect male lead. He was intelligent, honest, witty, romantic - and he treated Stacie as a human rather than a pretty face. I wa relieved that he didn't have mistresses on the side and that he worked for a living rather than just living off his title. Their love was refreshing, real and entertaining. This novel isn't going to strain your mind, but it's a very enjoyable novel to lose yourself in for a few hours.

This review is from: The Gold Coin (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first book I read my Andrea Kane and I couldn't wait to read the next one-- "The Silver Coin." Now I've read many of her books and enjoyed them all, but the "Coin" books are still my favorite. They're great stories with great characters and extremely hard to put down once you pick them up.
