I went into this expecting to like the book and I wasn't disappointed and I'm looking forward to the next book in this set. 
 Now review time. 
 The Cover: Love it. I'm not as impressed with the dress as with the others. But then Camille is a shop girl and from a different class than the other ladies featured in the Whispers on the Moors trilogy. However love the village shown in the background. All together the cover is beautiful. 
 The Characters:Camille was a wonderful character. She was a strong capable woman who did not let circumstances get her down. I liked Jonathon as well, I loved the fact he wasn't keen on being the heir of the estate and was content to be the apothecary. His sister I wasn't a fan of but at least she wasn't to horrible. at least by the end. (view spoiler)[ Darbin I figured from the beginning was in on it. Particularly when it was mentioned there were three men, when Camille discovered the truth about her father. Although I never saw her mother coming. (hide spoiler)] 
 The Story: Enjoyed the story. I finished this one more quickly than the other books by Sarah. I was drawn in from chapter one and since I had an opportunity to actually just sit and read for a while. I finished quickly. Thorough out the entire book I was fully engaged. I wanted to know what would happen to Camille and Jonathon and whether or not they would find the ruby. (view spoiler)[ I figured out that Camille had the ruby because of the box. But i figured her father was lying to her about actually sending it to her mother. I thought it was being sent to a fence or something under the guise of her mother. So the twist with her mother actually not being in Portugal I never saw coming and made the ending even more engaging. And Jonathan gave up the ruby for her, awww how sweet. I wasn't surprised about that though. And I'm actually glad he gave up the ruby,I don't think I would have bought it as easily that they would have kept the estate despite all the bad decisions made by his father. I feel like now in modern times everyone seems to forget there are consequences for your actions good or bad. The father messed up and he had to deal with that fact but at least the family wasn't homeless. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall: Lovely story, engaging and I recommend you read this one and the Whisper on the Moors series as well. I will probably be reading this one again.
