Sydony Marchant is suspicious of the maze behind her new home, a manor house with a sinister history. She's even more suspicious of former neighbor Bartholomew Hawthorne, and when he arrives on her doorstep, she doesn't know whether to run to him-or away from him. Viscount Hawthorne hasn't traveled to Oakfield to gawk at a garden maze, no matter how eerie it is. He's there to solve a mystery of his own, and he won't be distracted by lovely Sydony Marchant-even though she might be his one weakness. But Sydony and Samhain may change his mind. Book #1 of Regency Lures Two-Time RITA Finalist Deborah Simmons is a USA Today bestselling author of romances originally published by Avon, Harlequin, and Berkley, as well as an indie romantic comedy.
I don't believe this book was as bad as some of the other reviewers have let on. It was different than her previous books, with a very gothic slant to it (gothic like gargoyles and hedge mazes and haunted mansions not black makeup and clothes) instead of the medieval turn that we all know and love. Sydny was too suspicious and sometimes you wanted to knock one of the characters upside the head, but that's in every book. And true, it didn't move me like other books have, but it was not a waste of money and time. It was enjoyable and I am so glad that she is writing again. I can't wait until Reynold's book comes out!!
