Book description
Treasure in Every Listening
Candace Camp's Treasured is the first jewel of the "Secrets of the Loch" trilogy, and it glitters from the very first page-well, from the very first note-of its audiobook version. The narration captures the misty Scottish setting with a gentle, almost lilting tone that makes you feel the damp air of Loch Baille on your skin. The storyteller's voice is warm and engaging, bringing Isobel Rose to life as a spirited young heiress who must navigate both love and legacy.
The plot is a delightful blend of mystery, romance, and historical flair. A family legend about hidden treasure from the time of Culloden sets the stage, but Camp twists expectations by revealing that the real "gold" is the house Jack Kensington won in a London card game. Isobel's shock at her brother's reckless wager propels her into a quest to reclaim what was lost-her home, her freedom, and perhaps a new kind of love.
What makes this audiobook shine is how the narrator conveys the tension between duty and desire. When Isobel meets Jack, there's an instant spark that feels almost electric, yet the story cleverly keeps it under wraps with "accidents" that threaten to separate them before they can truly connect. The pacing is just right: moments of suspense are balanced by tender dialogue, keeping listeners on their toes while rooting for the couple.
Camp's writing is lush but never overwrought; she paints vivid scenes without bogging down the story in excessive description. The historical backdrop feels authentic-complete with references to Scottish traditions and the lingering shadows of Culloden-yet it doesn't feel like a lecture. Instead, it feels like stepping into a warm hearth on a rainy evening.
If you're looking for an audiobook that delivers romance, mystery, and a touch of history-all wrapped in a compelling narrative-it's worth adding Treasured to your queue. The voice work brings the characters' emotions to life, making every "accident" feel real and every moment of hope palpable. And as the story closes with Isobel standing at the crossroads between a loveless marriage and a passionate new love, you'll find yourself humming the line about "love to treasure."
