Forgetful scientist Simon Morgan lost his chance with Amity Archer ten years ago.

Immediately after pocketing the stone, Simon runs into Amity. Did the ancient artifact cause this chance encounter or was it mere coincidence?

Like her favorite travel writer Mrs. Peabody, Amity Archer yearns for adventure, but she’s horrified when her father asks Simon Morgan to escort her on her first real adventure.

With Amity’s Aunt Clementine as a buffer between them, will Simon be able to prove that his love for Amity is real? Can Amity show Simon that her love for him has nothing to do with a so-called magical rock?

My Thoughts

This book is by all terms a stand alone novel but we do meet Amity in the "Shopkeepers Daughter" which I would consider book 1 on what I hope is a series. The premise of this book caught me a bit by surprise as I definitely was not expecting it and it didn't hint at this on the summary. In this book there is a magical stone "The Horeb Stone" that is wanted but the only person who has it is Simon which is our leading man in the story. The story does create a lot of intrigue that keeps you interested but there were times were I was a bit confused on why things were happening.

The story has plenty of adventure which is what Amity craves and of course it has romance. The relationship between Amity and Simon does blossom and although frustrating at times it was well worth the wait.

Overall I thought this was a good story and if you love historical fiction then you will enjoy grabbing this book!

More from Izzy

I am a Geographer by degree. So maps and the shapes of the earth fascinate me. It keeps me looking at the ground. Where I live in Virginia we still travel the imprint of colonial roads. Former villages have been swallowed by large urban areas, but the land is still there. Amity Archer travels these roads on the adventure to love in The Dollmaker’s Daughter.

It makes The Dollmaker’s Daughter special to me. I have traveled the roads Amity and Simon cover many, many times. The research for this book kept me up nights reading true accounts of traveler and taverns in colonial times.
