Description from the publisher:
Fulfilling a lifetime mission is
much more fun when romance is woven into the adventure.
The Honorable Charlotte Blakely is closing in on the actual location of the Veil of Veronica, carrying on her beloved late grandfather’s quest. Satisfying his last wish is all she’s ever wanted from life… until the possibility of a courtship with the handsome English ambassador to Rome made itself known. But does love mean giving up her hard-won independence?
Mr. Everett Desmond spends far too much time behind a desk and entertaining dignitaries. He thought that was what he wanted from life… until an intriguing lady gave him a taste of adventure. But treasure-hunting comes at a price and, thanks to a failed engagement, he’s leery of romance.
Balancing each leg of the quest with the heat and passion simmering between them keeps Charlotte and Everett on the razor’s edge. When danger and death collide with the joy of adventure, truths they’ve denied themselves come into sharp focus. But with a bit of faith, they may discover a treasure far more priceless than a religious relic in their hands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LADIES PREFER ADVENTURE is the second
book in the Fortune and Glory
series. These definitely need to be read
in the order of release.
This absolutely was an adventure
with Indiana Jones-esque clues and a dash
of divine miracle adding a paranormal touch that kept me glued to my Kindle and
turning the page well past bedtime. Add
in the sizzling chemistry, the romance and the villains in pursuit – because
what adventure doesn’t have a villain or two? – and this is a can’t miss story.
I’m looking forward to more from
this series. I hope that Charlotte’s
brother, Matthew, will find his own adventure.
I’d also like to know the stories of Charlotte’s friends who are
mentioned. She writes to them and speaks
of them in such detail, so I assume that they are previous stories by Ms.
Sookoo.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
