    About this ebook

    The third and final book in the critically acclaimed Secret Box trilogy, a series pitch-perfect for fans of humorous mystery capers like Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and the Mysterious Benedict Society.

    Who knew that insisting on opening a strange birthday present would lead to being kidnapped by an evil Greek god determined to conquer the world? Jax Malone certainly didn’t. But now she’s trapped in the back of a limo bound for Epimetheus’s secret lair. He wants to control the three ancient urns that used to belong to Pandora’s daughter. Magical urns that can suck hope, faith, and love out of the world.

    Now Jax, Ethan, and Tyler’s only chance to fight Epimetheus’s formidable power might be to find a secret weapon—and to realize that their family ties are stronger than any magic.

      The Secret Box trilogy concludes with this exciting adventure. Jax, Ethan, and Tyler are cousins who all have very different personalities and strengths. Jax loves reading travel guides and tends to act before thinking. Ethan is the one who assesses every risk and can give you endless facts to prove his opinion. Tyler is the oldest who is drafted to go along on this adventure because he can drive and has a car. He is also very into video games and is designing one with some friends.In this episode, they are trying to defeat Ricardo - also known and Epimetheus - who wants to gather the urns of Faith, Hope, and Love to use them to control all of mankind. He has the urn of faith which he is using to create minions and disciples. When he kidnaps Jax to force Ethan and Tyler to bring him the other urns, the two boys have to go to Olympus to get them. Tyler is thrilled to be able to get first hand information about cyclops because his game is based on them; Ethan is more worried about having his allergies act up. I really think that Ethan was my favorite character from the whole series. He was such a worrywart and so risk-averse. He was the voice of reason who was often drowned out by the more boisterous personalities of his cousin and his brother. But when push came to shove Ethan was very heroic. Fans of fantasy the include Greek gods will enjoy this entertaining series. This is also a great adventure story with a great variety of personalities in the main characters.

      Regency Romance. Russian prince Dimitri kidnaps lady Katherine and refuses to accept she is a lady. OK 
    • 1/5
      Honestly this book bothered me... a lot. I do not considered being handled the way that she did as romantic in any conceivable way. It is criminal in fact. I don't know any woman who would like to be subjected in the same manner as she did no matter how dashing, how handsome, how charming her "abductor" is. With this thought looming over me, I could not, for the life of me, get on with the story and the characters. This is one of the most disturbing book I've ever read.

      Katherine St John is the daughter of a Earl, George St John. Even though her father is the Earl, she takes care of everyone and everything at home. When she finds out that her sister plans on eloping with a fortune hunter, she dresses in a maid uniform and goes chasing after her, not knowing what would befall her and take her away from all that she loves. Prince Dimitri Petrovich Alexandrov of Russis, comes to England to bring his willful sister home after causing scandal. However during his time in England, in a carriage he see's a young woman that captures his attention. She is unlike anything he has ever pictured before, and desires her. So he has his right hand man, Vladimir bring her to his apartments. When Katherine is kidnapped off of the streets, gagged and bound she is absolutely furious. She is then brought to the Dimitri's room, and is told that she is there at his request for his pleasure. Katherine is of course enraged, as any Earl's impressionable daughter would be right? She is then taken after a night of passion all of it by a aphrodisiac drug, she is then placed on his ship and they set sail. She tries to escape while there is land in sight, but to no avail she was not that lucky. Dimitri, was planning on leaving Katherine in England, however when she threatened to tell the authorites and threatened the Czar he decided to take drastic measures. He knew that until the Czar left England, Katherine would have to be taken to Russia for the time being. Where upon a sensual passion between the captor and the slave flare up and is all consuming and turns into love.I thoroughly enjoyed reading Secret Fire. Its been a few years since I have read it, and I am glad that I could get my hands on it once more. Its one of those that you can read over and over and never get tired of. Of course, since I haven't read it in so long, I enjoyed mostly just seeing the characters interact and how the plot thickens and how it grew more a more intriguing as the story went on. You have Katherine, who is a daughter of a Earl and is outraged of being a slave to the handsome yet arrogant man. Katherine is strong willed, opinionated, courageous and I loved how she always stands up to her captors. Katherine is having to always defend herself and her abilities, due to her being raised as a lady. However there is one small problem, Dimitri doesn't believe her. Russians, as portrayed in the book, are very reliant upon first impressions. So his first impression of her being a maid, keeps him denying the fact that she was raised as a Earl's daughter, and the consequences of him kidnapping her. Everyone else around them, seems to see her being one, with her arrogance and bearing is one due to someone raised in such a society. Dimitri although his title in Russia is "Prince" is really the same rank as Katherine. However he doesn't realize until too late his mistake. Here goes a journey that will take the reader to the sensuality side of Russia, and the thrilling adventure and passion that will ride with you until the very end. I liked most things about this book, the only thing that kinda was half frustrating but will make you laugh, is Dimitri's insistence that she is just a simple maid that must of learned everything from books or some such nonsense. I mean, I thought it was obsurd throughout the whole book and that he didn't believe it until he thought it was too late. Other than that I truly enjoyed re reading Secret Fire, it was filled with all the romance, passion, strong characterization and good plot that I love reading. It drew me into the story and I could hardly put it down. I have to say that Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite historical romance authors, because she portrays the time and scenic surroundings so well as well as the emotions that the characters are feeling. Its very provoking emotionally, and I would recommend this read to anyone who loves this genre and this author!!
