"Undiscovered Treasures" by Carole Brown



Co-owner of Undiscovered Treasures, Caroline Gibson particularly relates to the ballerina music box: forever spinning and never going anywhere. But when her dream prince appears, she's sure her prayers have been answered. Trouble is, even though family and friends hint that the local artist is the guy for her, Caroline takes matters into her own hands.

Andrew Carrington has loved Caroline since they were kids. But when contracts suddenly arrive begging for his signature, Andy thinks this just might be the way to win the only woman he can ever love.

And then there's the hitch in both their plans. Someone is stealing Andy's paintings, and why would they when he's an unknown so far? Is something deeper going on neither understand?


Besides being a member and active participant of many writing groups, Carole Brown enjoys mentoring beginning writers. An author of ten books, she loves to weave suspense and tough topics into her books, along with a touch of romance and whimsy, and is always on the lookout for outstanding titles and catchy ideas. She and her husband reside in SE Ohio but have ministered and counseled nationally and internationally. Together, they enjoy their grandsons, traveling, gardening, good food, the simple life, and did she mention their grandsons?

“Undiscovered Treasure” by Carole Brown is a truly remarkable story about how true love never gives up and never dies. In this story Andy has loved Caroline, the only problem is Andy isn’t Caroline’s idea of what her “ dream man is”. The worst thing that Caroline has against Andy is his paintings are ugly and then she could never date her brother’s best friend.

“Undiscovered Treasure” is a mystery and a love story combined just like the other two books in the “(Appleton, WV Romantic Mystery) series by Carole Brown.

These books are clean and most of the main characters have faith in God and their faith is mentioned in the stories. Even though faith and the Bible and prayer are all mentioned as part of the character’s life, I believed all readers whether they have faith in God or not would like these stories because the message is there but the books are not “ Preachy”.

I believed “Undiscovered Treasure” can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone, without the reader left feeling like they missed something by not reading the other two stories first. I am glad I read the first two because some of the characters who are all friends in the stories are mentioned in all three books, each story is really one of the character’s story. At the end of “Undiscovered Treasure” is a preview chapter of a fourth book coming.

The Title ‘“Undiscovered Treasures” is really a play on words because the shop owned by Caroline and her brother is called Undiscovered Treasures and the story is about more than what they sell in the shop.

The mystery is who stealing Andy’s pictures and why. Can Caroline discover the thief and find the real treasure in the process?

I have given all three books five stars.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
