This review is from: Passions Treasure (Paperback)

From back of book:
EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE OF CULPEPPER KNEW THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM WAS TO ASK TREASURE BARRETT. SO WHEN THE LATE SQUIRE'S SON DEMANDED THAT THE IMOVERISHED VILLAGERS PAY BACK THEIR OUTSTANDING LOANS, IT FELL TO TREASURE TO DEAL WITH HIM. But the arrogant, handsome Sterling Renville was not a man to be reasoned with...or ignored. And while Sterling infuriated Treasure like no man ever had, he also ignited a deep yearning within her. It was long before Treasure surrendered to a rapturous ecstasy that would make her his forever

This review is from: Passions Treasure (Paperback)

I bought Betina Krahn's "Passion's treasure" because I had read "The last bachelor", "The mermaid" and "Sweet talking man" and expected the same mixture of humour, sensuality and romanticism, two sympathetic and credible heroes and of course, a gripping love story. I was totally disappointed . The story is about a simple and poor American country girl in the 1750's who is seen as a sort of genius in the small village Culpepper where she was born. She is highly educated due to a local priest and a squire. Since the first encounter with Sterling, an arrogant and selfish macho-macho English nobleman (one of the most unsympathetic and loathsome characters ever to roam around in a romance novel)she feels erotically attracted to him, although he only chases her for lust and revenge. The only humour I could find was the running gag that the girl named Treasure, who is supposed to be a "thinker" acts like a half-witted, sex-crazed teenager in the first half of the novel (I haven't read the second part). Not only is she not able to identify the late squire's son Sterling despite of his striking resemblance with his father, she is not even able to ask the simple question: "Who are you?" when they first meet. Instead of this she thinks she has apparitions because of moon-madness for she meets him in the middle of the night in his father's house. Her stupidity culminates in the scene where she throws herself at Sterling, begging him to teach her the art of love. Apart from her bad taste and low self-esteem for the English "nobleman" is the only one in her entire life who treats her condescendingly and without respect (which obviously makes him sexually attractive to her), this act she so much desires degrades her to the sort of woman she so much despises, one of those "mindless" tavern girls (=prostitutes)in the eyes of society. Yet she is not able to draw this rather simple conclusion. But perhaps all Betina Krahn wants to show us is that IQ's are highly overrated. For this alone I give two stars.

This review is from: Passions Treasure (Paperback)

I truly was surprised when I read this book--it seemed so unique compared to a lot of other romance novels. Treasure's intelligence as a main focus in the book made her stand out and shine, and I applaud Betina Krahn for this. I loved Sterling as well, although his haughtiness and arrogance irritated me. The book was well-crafted overall, and I really appreciated the great depth Ms. Krahn took in her descriptive details of everything. I have always preferred long, wordy passages to short and concise ones, because you can get a better personal feel for it. Passion's Treasure was remarkably unique, and I hope to read another novel that is equally stimulating someday.
