about the book
Will the key unlock more than a vault filled with treasure?
Brooke Sumner has been carefully avoiding Storm Whitlock ever since he betrayed her trust. When he joins Caspar’s mysterious treasure-hunting group, she steps away to focus on her antique shop and keep herself busy.
Then Caspar invites her back for one final assignment, and Brooke is torn. Returning to Halstead Manor to help the team find the second half of a key is intriguing. It also means she’d be working with Storm. But she doesn’t trust his motives, so she reluctantly rejoins to keep him in check.
As they dive into their expedition, Brooke finds her heart softening toward those she’d once held at arm’s length. And is it possible she misunderstood Storm’s betrayal of their friendship?
“In this friends-to-more romance, we get to see the beauty of being known, being loved, and finding the people who want to walk alongside us.” —Toni Shiloh, Christy Award-winning author

review
it's the final treasure hunter for brooke sumner and her friends—plus the man she's been trying to avoid, storm whitlock. they may have grown up together, but when he became involved in some shady business dealings, she could no longer see him as her most trusted friend. of course, now they're forced to work together, and that time together just might give her the perspective she needs to give him a second chance...
the hidden key of brooke sumner is a sweet conclusion to susan l. tuttle's treasures of halstead manor series. it's got plenty of adventure and action—along with uplifting moments of faith and some really special reveals. i loved seeing brooke making discoveries not only about the treasure, but also about herself, while storm's just helping her along the way, patiently waiting for her to be ready to accept his feelings. they have such a fun dynamic, too, where their connection and chemistry is oh so evident (the exchanging of songs is so fun!), even while brooke's holding him at arm's length.
fans of the series won't be disappointed with this third book. if you've loved the rest of the series, definitely pick it up!
considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only
—faith: consistent christian themes and mentions
—content: violence, murder, mentions of foster care, parental abandonment, and illness
