Lost in the Labyrinth

Immoral Intentions #1

by Lady T.L. Jennings

Three sisters, two gentlemen, and one love story

Mr Daniel Garrett leads a peaceful and simple life in a small village close to the Peak District where afternoon tea is always served at three o’clock.
However, when Ashley Thornhill, a charming gentleman and the most sought-after bachelor in the county, inherits Thornhill Manor, Daniel’s uncomplicated life is suddenly about to become a little bit more… complicated.
During a summer picnic when Daniel is forced to chaperone his three lively sisters, Ashley boldly challenges him to solve the old and over-grown Celtic hedge maze on the estate.
But the old, neglected labyrinth is more wild and dangerous than anyone may expect…

I loved the descriptions in this story! It almost made me want a cup of English tea.

Daniel Garret's family is fun to read. The two sisters gushing over Ashley Thornhill as if I were there listening but knowing that Ashley only has eyes for Daniel.

It is a short read, a novelette if you will, but fun. I am considering getting the next in the series.

It's actually not unusual for me to have a lot of questions left at the end of one of this author's stories, at least 70% of the time. This was one of those times. There should have been some kind of explanation for Ava's odd behavior, other than just being brushed off as the family weirdo (which can be hurtful to a child, especially when it's done to their face). Especially when she acted as if she knew something about that labyrinth that no one else did. But it was never told what she knew, or how she could possibly know. Then once the men went into the labyrinth, a bunch of strange things started happening, but Jennings seemed to be too focused on them having sex that afterwards she went straight into an epilogue, stretching 7 years into the future. We don't know what happened immediately after they left the labyrinth, what they told anyone about what happened inside, or what happened to lead up to the epilogue. And it said that Daniel lived the rest of his life "as an unmarried bachelor together with Ashley, in a small insignificant village...where we lived happily ever after." But then at the end it said that Daniel continued to live at Rosehill Farm, where Ashley often visited. Which is it?

Read as part of Immoral Intentions ~ a Gay Victorian Romance and Erotic Novelette Collection. Vol. III

This book was really fun to read. I adored the couple but I loved the story even better. I also enjoyed the setting very much especially when there was a garden maze involved. Fun happy ending.

4.75 stars

Love this author. Great short steamy read. More detail to the characters than the others I have read of the author. Hot young men defying society and finding a way to be with each other.

Hmmm. Just as I was settling in to enjoy this story, watching the characters start to unfold and sensing a mystery lurking in the maze? It ended.

Maybe it's just me, but I like more story in my stories.

Seriously? Two virtual strangers (although we're informed they first met a year ago) meet at a picnic, go to explore a possibly haunted maze, wind up having sex in the rain, the end.
