Reviews for The River's Treasure - A Historical Romance Novel

Rating: 5 Angels
"The River’s Treasure is a poignant read that reaches out and touches the heart. Genevieve is caught in the middle while one man wishes her life and the other craves her soul to love always. Cooper still has moments where he has not gotten over the loss of his wife and wonders if he should give in to another love. The emotion is tender and caring as the two try to overcome the obstacles before them. I thought the way Ms. Quinn outlines the story of the memory lapse with Genevieve was quite believable in all her actions. The well-rounded secondary characters keep the story flowing smoothly. I admire the way Ms. Quinn created the setting and instilled such a wonderful atmosphere that put this reader in the core of the story. With a great feel for the era, and some magnificent research, I found this read most remarkable and it definitely left me with a great feeling."

"I loved the way the author handles the characters and how she continually brings out new facets to the characters as the book progresses. Janet Quinn has a great talent and her books are an essential read for historical readers. If you want a good book for your PDA this summer treat yourself to this e-book you won't be disappointed."

"The River’s Treasure is a wonderful period piece. The historical aspects were accurate with the dialogue for the 1830 southern society which created a colorful landscape painted by Janet Quinn taking the reader back in time to glimpse at how the characters lived. I would recommend this to anyone who wants romance and escape into another time period."
