I give this 4 and a half stars.  Very charming story involving a treasure hunt designed to determine which of a Lady's relatives will become her heir/heiress.  Seems that her home- her late husband's home, that is- will go to his nearest male relative per usual, however, all of his money was left to his widow, and she is determined to name the lucky person or persons to inherit the large sum.The H and h are down on their luck with younger siblings to support.  They both could really use the money.  The estate's heir of course wants the money to go along with the house- how else can he run it?  However, the Lady feels her late husband's relative is not worthy, nor his son or wife either for that matter.  They arrive with a young lady who is never properly identified and does nothing but eat.  Missed opportunity there, however, this story is about the main characters anyway.The characters have many issues going on in their lives- the death of a parent or parents, lack of money, and the stress of facing an uncertain future.  Along the way each character aids in the treasure hunt and also lends each other support, friendship, and finally, love.Heart-warming story.  You will really root for the kind-hearted characters to win the game and secure their future.
