From USA Today Bestselling Author Darcy Burke... Book Two in the Legendary Rogues series... Romancing the Earl...She'll stop at nothing to find her heart's desire...Major Elijah Hollister never wanted to be an earl, particularly not when it meant losing his brother. When a bold adventuress shows up at his door seeking a treasure map, Elijah suspects his brother’s death may not have been accidental and that the lady knows more than she’s willing to share. Whether she’s a friend or foe, Elijah plans to keep her close—and hope the temptation of her kisses doesn’t ruin them both.Miss Catriona Bowen can almost taste the fruits of her years-long quest to find one of Britain’s greatest treasures. The discovery will deliver the recognition and respect she deserves as an antiquary, despite the fact that she’s a woman. However, to find the map that will lead her to success, she must ally herself with a stoic, yet provocative gentleman with a different goal. And when a villain threatens their lives, she realizes too late that love is the greatest treasure of all.

Just like Indian Jones

Reviewed in Australia on 23 February 2019

What an adventure. There is nothing in this book I didn’t like ( except the sex scene which this reviewer always skips but it doesn’t affect my enjoyment of the book). There was adventure, mystery, romance and suspense. Elijah and Cat make a perfect couple, so different but still very honorable. This is the second in this new series but it is lovely to meet up with some old favourites from books in other series. Ms Burke knows how to keep the story flowing and keep you turning the page. Even though I had read the future books of this series, so I knew what was going to happen, I still found it hard to put down. If you like Indiana Jones, you will love this.

Adventure And Danger

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2020

Verified Purchase

This, the second book in the series actually takes us back to the Secrets and Scandals series. Here we follow Cate who is the daughter of Rhys and Margery from book one.
Cate has a lifelong ambition to find an Arthurian sword. She is searching for a tapestry which is actually a map which, she believes, will lead her to the location of this sword. She visits her friends, Miranda and Foxcroft who we meet again in Wootton Bassett as she wants to visit Lord Norris who she thinks owns the tapestry. This is a very different Lord Norris from the criminal we met in the previous series. Elijah Hollister, a distant cousin of the old Lord has just inherited the title, but he would have much rather stayed in the army at his Australian posting.And so the hunt for the tapestry and the sword begins.
Once again, this is a lively tale full of adventure and danger with a wealth of interesting characters.

TERRIFIC PLOTTING - HERO WHO CHARMS

Reviewed in the United States on 5 June 2016

Elijah was living happily in Australia as an officer in the Army. When his brother dies in an accident, he must return to England and take his place as an Earl. That is not what he expected in his life.

Catriona (Cate) is an antiquarian who arrives at Elijah's doorstep to explain that in the huge treasure collection in his home, there is a special tapestry which is a secret treasure map. As her story progresses, Elijah begins to believe that his brother's accident may have been something other than an accident.

I am a fan of history, and the idea of a secret in a tapestry is something that immediately, drew me into the story.

The character development was well done. I liked both Cate and Elijah. They were the people they were because of their history. She has a huge knowledge about antiquities and yet because she is a woman, the people in charge will not even speak to her. Elijah was emotionally abandoned by his mother. He loved his brother very much, but he was never treated in a kindly manner by his mother. That has colored his view of the world and especially his view of women.

I was disappointed, when it seemed to me that a great deal of today crept into the story. There did not seem to be much effort to prevent the characters from speaking as though they lived in the 21st century. That was jarring to me. I am not a stickler, but for me this was too out of place.

The plot was interesting. I liked the mystery and the efforts to search and investigate were very well done. At times Cate became annoying in her insistence that she had to insert herself every where Elijah was trying to gather information.

I have not read other works by Ms Burke, but I will do so. It is evident she is a talented author.

Romancing an Earl

Cate Bowen grew up with an antiquarian father and brother which fueled her desire for the same field. The problem – men (with the exception of her father – or so she thought) do not acknowledge female antiquarians and highly discourage their interest in the field. To prove she is worthy of the title “antiquarian” Cate is determined to find Dyrnwyn, the flaming sword, one of thirteen treasures of Britain from the time of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. After all, this is Cate’s passion and calling having sworn off marriage due to a failed love interest. When Cate stumbles upon a poem from the time of King Arthur in her father’s study that gives a clue to the existence of the sword, Cate is first hurt then more determined to find the sword to prove to her father and other antiquarians that females are worthy of the title antiquary.
With the help of her faithful companion, Grey, Cate learns of a tapestry that is said to be a hidden map – one that leads to Dyrnwyn – which lands her on the doorstep of Lord Norris.
Major Elijah Hollister, former soldier now Lord Norris, has inherited an Earldom upon the unexpected death of his brother. An Earldom and a house overflowing with antiquities that he does not want. The only thing he wants, given his childhood where his mother wanted nothing to do with him and his father drank himself into an early grave, is to live his life alone.
When a very persistent young lady appears on his doorstep asking to by a tapestry, Elijah is at first irritated at having his time interrupted and denies knowing where this tapestry is. Until she mentions it could contain a treasure map. This catches his attention as his brother’s last letter mentions a treasure but nothing further. His soldier instincts kick in and he begins to wonder if his brother’s death was an accident after all. After questioning his butler, Elijah is more certain that is the case and this tapestry is somehow involved.
As Elijah reluctantly accepts Cate’s help they embark on a quest to find the tapestry and the truth. A quest filled with danger and simmering passion.
Will they find the tapestry and is it a map? Will Cate and Elijah go their separate ways if they find the tapestry or will they continue to work together to find the sword and person/persons responsible for his brother’s death? What will happen if they do? Will Cate realize the sword isn’t as important to her as she thought? Will Elijah exact revenge no matter the consequences?
Darcy Burke writes an excellent story filled with teasing banter, adventure and with lots of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. Plus delicious hints of what could be possible stories in the future.
Even though this is part of series it can be read alone but why deprive yourself of some awesome reading?!! I know I’m anxiously waiting to see who & what treasure Ms. Burke writes about next!
