Synopsis

Fielding Grey is the second son of the Marquess of Eldon and fortune hunter by night. He's on a mission for the Legend Hunters--a group of wealthy, titled, and heart-breakingly gorgeous men, each of whom are after the find of the century--he has his eyes set on obtaining the illustrious Pandora's Box. But before he finds it, he encounters an equally alluring treasure--the woman bold enough to look inside.

Esme Worthington can't resist taking the tiniest peek inside when fate drops the real Pandora's Box in her lap. Thus, she unleashes one of Pandora's irresistible curses: the curse of lust. Now, both Esme and Fielding must deal with this passionate curse--or blessing?--before unknown implications of Pandora's Box overpower them both.

About this title

About the Author

As a lifelong lover of stories and adventure, Robyn DeHart felt she had to either become a stuntwoman for the movies or experience adventure from the safety of her pj's and computer. She chose the latter and couldn't be happier for doing so. Known for her unique plotlines and authentic characters, Robyn is a favorite among readers and reviewers. Publishers Weekly claims her writing is "comical and sexy," while the Chicago Tribune dubs her "wonderfully entertaining," and Kathe Robin says, "Like Amanda Quick, DeHart [will] keep you up all night."

Seduce Me, the first in her Legend Hunters series, won an RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice Award as well as the RomCon Readers' Crown. A self-proclaimed movie junkie, Robyn knows more worthless entertainment trivia than anyone has a right to; in fact she's the reigning champion of name-that-voiceover-on-that-commercial game, which, incidentally, she plays alone. She lives in Central Texas with her brainy husband and two very spoiled cats. You can learn more at:

Reviews

Sizzling romance mixes clumsily with ancient legends in DeHart's late-Victorian romance, the first in the Legend Hunters trilogy. Fielding Grey, viscount of Eldon and freelance archeological treasure hunter, reluctantly enters into a business alliance with the club of gentlemanly legend hunters he holds responsible for his father's death. When Fielding's mysterious uncle finds Pandora's mythical box, he kidnaps beautiful Esme Worthington, believing she holds the key. The curses imprisoned in the box escape into the world, and Esme (who is referred to as a scholar, but displays little scholarship) and Fielding fight their growing attraction as they race to prevent disaster. While DeHart (Tempted at Every Turn) makes the romance believable and enticing, the multiplication of unlikely supernatural and familial subplots distracts from it, and the layers of artificial complication added to the original myth feel forced and unconvincing.
