I really enjoy a bit of a detective story in my romance so this was right up my ally! 

Allie and Ben live different lives. He works for Scotland Yard and she runs her families antique shop while they go off on adventures and treasure hunts. Then one day she overhears a plot to steal the Crown Jewels. She goes to report it and they finally meet. And the attraction is there! 

The two of them are trying to figure out this mystery while also deciding they want to be together. But that could put her in danger.

I really liked both characters so much. They were both so driven and you could feel their chemistry. The detective bit was great as well, there was so much going on and it moved so fast!
