In the Garden of Seduction, Book 2 of The Garden Series, is another delightful historical romance from talented Cynthia Wicklund.Product DescriptionCassandra James is in for a terrible shock. She is not who she thinks she is, never has been. One morning she awakens to find the neat order of her wealthy, middle class world changed forever. Add to this the complication of Simon Fitzgerald, Marquess of Sutherfield. A handsome rogue at his most intriguing, Simon pursues Cassandra with single-minded determination, but his motives are not pure. He wishes to bed the lady, not marry her.PraiseIn the Garden of Seduction, the title of Ms. Wicklund's second book in her Garden Series, has a layered meaning, and that layering is what makes you think about the book after having read it.Simon Fitzgerald is a rake of the first order who is a master of seduction. He's accustomed to getting his way with women. How alarming for the Marquess when he finds Miss Cassandra James is immune to his seduction.Cassandra is a lady with scruples, and she sees Simon for who he is.  As time goes on, she realizes there's more to him than his seemingly wastrel lifestyle. Finally, she sees through him to the man he is beneath the trappings of callousness and class.In the end, it's Cassandra who seduces Simon, but not necessarily as you may imagine. I'm going to leave you to discover their journey from enmity to the happy ending you know this romance must have. How they get to "happily ever after" will delight you.In ConclusionI rate In the Garden of Seduction by Cynthia Wicklund as a "Kindle Keeper."
