About this audiobook
Set in the same time period and location as Bridgerton and Poldark, this Regency romance brings together a wealthy heir and a mysterious young woman as they search for secrets behind a missing a ruby.
Jonathan Gilchrist never wanted to inherit Kettering Hall. A second son, he was content to work as the village apothecary. But when his brother’s death made him heir just as his father’s foolish decisions put the estate at risk, only the sale of a priceless possession—a ruby called the Bevoy—can save the family from ruin. But the gem has disappeared. And all trails lead to Iverness Curiosity Shop—and the beautiful shop girl who may be the answer to his many questions.
Camille Iverness can take care of herself. She’s done so since the day her mother abandoned the family and left Camille to run their shabby curiosity shop. But when a violent betrayal leaves her injured with no place to hide, Camille must allow a mysterious stranger to come to her aid.
Caught at the intersection of blessings and curses, greed and deceit, these two determined souls must unite to protect what they hold dear. But when a passion that shines far brighter than any gem is ignited, they will have to decide how much they are willing to risk for their future, love, and happiness.

Reviews for The Curiosity Keeper
44 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just what I was looking for. Something not too intense or sappy. Well written with a good plot. Descriptions of people and places well done. Great reader.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a very interesting novel, it has a great plot....I was a little disappointed with the ending but I discovered that the author is writing a second novel to complete the series.. I look forward to reading the sequel next year... I hope that I can wait a year lol!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very good plot. The description here changes the name of the main male character (Jonathan) and the school (definitely starts with an F although I can't quite remember it now) as used in the audio book. How odd!
