Title: An Unexpected Journey: A Regency Hobbit Retelling
Author: Ann Elizabeth Fryer
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: November 28, 2024
Genre: Regency Romance/Hobbit Retelling

A heritage neither of them desires, a wrong to right. A chance to end a family curse... 

When strangers tumble through the doors of once resplendent Grandview Estate, Lady Laura Tamlow is pulled into a rather unexpected journey, away from the village she's never left along with a gentleman unlike any she's ever known. 

Jonathan Canfield is out of options. And he'd do anything to restore his family fortunes in order to keep them from poverty, including roping Lady Tamlow into playing the part of thief. They must reclaim both his and her family jewels that were stolen the night of the fated Grand Masquerade of 1770, where both the Canfields and the Tamlows fell far from society's good graces. If only his thief weren't so lovely, he'd be able to focus on the mission without distraction. 

But there's a bigger problem at hand. The jewels reside at Lombard Park under the eye of Lord Herrington, a greedy dragon of a man who knows he's about to die. Yet he has bigger claims than they ever imagined and attempts to steal something far more valuable than family jewels. With deception afoot, will Jonathan ever see Lady Tamlow again? 

Christian Historical Fiction is a favorite genre. I have become interested in "retelling stories" in the past year.. An Unexpected Journey: A Regency Hobbit Retelling by Ann Elizabeth Fryer is the most recent book that I have read that fits both catergories. 

I will admit I wasn't sure what to expect when reading this book, as I haven't  ever read The Hobbit. I thought I would be lost while reading this book. I do LOVE that it is set in the Regency Era. I actually surprised myself when the storyline captured my attention from the very first chapter. Lady Laura Tamlow and Jonathan Canfield are the main characters in the book. I really LOVE how Lady Laura agrees to go on an adventure with Jonathan She is tasked with helping to recover the Family Jewels of both her family and Jonathan's family, by stealing them back, just as they were stolen in 1770. Adventure truly is at hand for Jonathan and Lady Laura and also danger lurks. I really LOVE how Jonathan really is a gentleman and wants to protect Laura. The romance that happens in this story is so sweet. The book is one of twists and turns, adventure, Romance and Faith. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who loves Christian Historical books. FANTASTIC BOOK!
