I have to say that I did really enjoy The Collector While it was a little longer than I thought it needed to be, I found the story sucked me in until the end. I loved the historical parts about the Faberge eggs. I also found the main characters Lila and Ashton to be very enjoyable. I liked their romance. 
 In addition to the great mystery and main romance, we are treated to a secondary romance between two lost loves. I wish their story was a little bit more in depth because it was so sweet! The villain was truly evil and creepy and I loved the ending scenes.
