Summary: Interesting peek into the world of gold
Review: This was a good book with several significant flaws, but it is still a great read. I recommend it if you want to escape to a world of money and wealth and power and handsome, smart, lucky people; vs not handsome, not smart, unlucky people. These characters are pretty much formula, but the story of the gold is very interesting. Tracing the history of the Celtic gold was facinating. I also liked the fact that the thieves were ignorant to the value of what they had and what they could do with it. This was the strength of the story, how the gold changed hands and how it effected the lives of those who touched it before it finally ended up in the collection. The Risa and Shane romance never grabbed me. First of all, neither of them were developed as real characters. And the way they consumated their relationship was not credible, it was cheap. It was not an appropriate moment for lust. The fact that they rushed into marriage made it even less credible. But, that aside, I loved the story about the gold and the greed and the obsession. I recommend this book as a good read for a rainy weekend. It will have your eyes glowing for the gold.
