Brooke Ramsey is running out of time. She needs to save her father's reputation before she loses him to illness. That means finding the painting that went missing while in his care. Fast. Which is why she teams up with Victor Gage, owner of Treasure Seekers agency.
The charming private detective has more at stake than uncovering a lost masterpiece. He's investigating his wife's death, and the artwork holds the answer.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: Lost Legacy (Treasure Seekers #1)Author: Dana MentinkPages: 221Year: May 2012Publisher: Love Inspired SuspenseMy rating is 4 out of 5 stars.Victor Gage has been trying to discover who killed his wife, and he has been looking for four years. He is a wealthy private detective. He owns the Treasure Seekers, a private detective agency, along with his brother and sister. He meets Brooke Ramsey when she tries to hire Treasure Seekers to find an original, formerly unknown, painting by a famous artist. Her father had discovered the painting and sent it to a colleague at a university to verify and authenticate this work. Brooke had no idea her father had sent the painting, but now the university claims the painting never arrived. However, the man who was to authenticate the painting is now missing.The last person Brooke wants to turn to his Victor Gage. He thinks his father is responsible for the death of his wife who was killed in a car accident the night of an art burglary at the museum where Brooke’s father worked. Victor is intrigued by the thought of tracking down this treasure of artwork, even though it means working closely with Brooke. It appears someone else is after the painting as Brooke and Victor encounter one dangerous situation after another. Who else wants the painting? Brooke must find the painting first as her father’s dementia is quickly getting worse and she needs the money the sale of the painting will provide to take care of him as well as clear his reputation that was sullied during the art museum theft four years ago.This story reads like an Indiana Jones movie. There are tunnels to explore, possible romance in the air, danger around every corner and treasure to discover. The story was a little slow in a couple of spots, but still enjoyable. These little books are treasures in and of themselves as they provide a few hours of entertainment and fun.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one felt slow, and often the characters seemed to go out of their way to put themselves iin dangerous situations. Otherwise an OK read. I didn't hate it, but can't really recommend it either.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A treasure lost, a family illness, danger in tunnels but where is the real danger?It isn't in a painting, revenge, and more. Lives ruined because of wrong decisions by others. Our decisions affect more than ourselves.Danger in the tunnels of a College. Enemy tries turning us away from the truth much as he tried in the tunnels to turn others away from what they sought after.Love is the right way. Learning to open up to admit to mistakes. Learning to let our heart lead us.Family not what one believes at times. So many trials lead to the true treasure.Be sure and read
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dana Mentink’s Lost Legacy tells of a sweet Christian girl, determined to protect her father’s reputation, and the strong but wounded Treasure Seeker she asks to help her. Both characters hide secrets, and the author reveals their backstories with nice timing as the novel progresses.Victor was a doctor once. Now he hides his heart and hunts treasure. He has two siblings, each hiding their own mysteries, and a grave determination to avenge his wife’s death. But when his need for revenge tangles with Brooke’s search for justice, sparks might fly.Secret passages, mysterious maps, hidden symbols and threats of sudden death combine in this enjoyable fast read. I might complain at some unconvincing chess notation, but the fast-paced story kept me turning pages. The danger’s exciting, the characters have pleasing depths, and the elements of faith are enjoyably unforced, making this a fun romantic suspense, for adult or young adult, with plenty of scope for more to come in the series.Disclosure: I won a free copy during a blog tour. Lucky me!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book great character development. So many surprises.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In Mentink’s inspiration romantic suspense novel, Brooke Ramsey is running out of time in her efforts to save her father’s reputation. Teaming up with Victor Gage to locate a missing painting, they draw closer to each other as a murderer prepares to kill again to keep his secrets.Believable characters but the story is a bit sluggish.
