A Victorian romance with paranormal elements, Crystal Gardens is a nice, easy read for summertime. Evangeline appears to be a paid companion, but a recent attempt on her life has her new neighbor, wealthy Lucas Sebastian, thinking there must be more to her story. When she escapes to his mysterious garden, she shares some of her secrets and he takes her under his protection. Strong secondary characters and the irritation Lucas feels when members of his family start showing up make this more than just an average romance novel. The banter between the leads is delightful.
