I truly adored this story.  Melody Anne wrangled me in from the very start.  She writes characters full of spunk and charm that just melt your heartstrings.  Hidden Treasure is a beautifully sassy and fun love story that will have you laughing one moment and you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next.Poor Brielle drew the short stick.  She tried to live without her father’s money and fell flat on her rear.  Her father had decided to teach her and her brothers a lesson and cut off their inheritance and gave them the pick of five failing businesses to run.  Well Brielle was having none of that so she walked out and managed to survive for a year without Daddy’s help until the place where she was working got shut down.  She was so broke by the time she contacted her Dad all she had was enough money for bus fare.  Since she walked out when the business opportunities were passed out all she got to chose from was what was left.  What was left was a dilapidated Montana Ranch.  Lets just say that stilettos and manure don’t mix really well.The first bit of trouble that Brielle runs into is a solid hunk of man named Colt Westbrook.  Talk about holy hotness.  Colt is in the running for 2014 book boyfriend status.  He is a man’s man with the abs and arms that let you know that the man knows how to put in a hard days work.  Colt was really disappointed when Richard Storm swooped in and bought that property for one of his kids to fix up and when he meets Brielle he thinks he has her figured out and starts counting the days until she gives up and just sells him her ranch.  The one thing Colt did not know is that you can never underestimate the Storms.  Brielle may have been a pampered and spoiled brat but she will do anything it takes to make her father proud and to prove to everyone that she is more than what she appears to be.I loved the push and pull between Colt and Brielle.  He was hooked on her like a fish to a pole.  She lit a fire inside of him that drove him crazy.  The only problem is that Brielle begins to trust Colt and let him in a little bit like no one before.  She automatically assumed when she ran into Colt that he worked for her.  That is very far from the truth and Colt does not seem in any hurry to correct her assumption.  The problem is what will she do when she finds out her trusted ranch hand is actually her very wealthy neighbor.I am very excited and looking forward to the next book in this series.  It is so nice to see the Anderson and Storm elders meddling again in the lives of their kids.  A job well done Melody Anne.  I loved it.
