About the Book
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?

My Review:
I liked the similarities of adventure, the dragon and his ill-gotten gains, and Laura as a type of Bilbo Baggins. There is also a Sméagol-like character that roams the dark passages of Lombard Park. I think you will enjoy this new story if you are a Hobbit fan.
Things to love:
danger and intrigue
family secrets
treasure
masked ball
faith thread
Favorite quote:
“Your life for mine, my life for yours.”
