The Lady Adventurers Club by Karen Frost

3.0

As an adventure, this was merely OK. I would have preferred more treasure hunting and less treasure chasing, and I was not at all a fan of the supernatural deus ex machina. When you have such strong, wonderful women leading the story, let them win it as well - to do otherwise robs them as much as the thieves did.

As a romance, this was fabulous. I loved Anna's the slow seduction and Clara's slow awakening to the reality of a relationship with which she has no experience. We get false starts, interrupted moments, and some friendly cautions, all of which make the eventual consummation that much more wonderful.
