While shooting a music video in England on the grounds of Hampton Court Palace, Country Music star Deanie Bailey is walking through a maze when she is swept back in time to Tudor England and the Court of Henry VIII. Befriended by the Duke of Hamilton, Christopher "Kit" Neville, Deanie soon finds out that he has also traveled through time from 1940. Together Kit and Deanie must navigate life at the palace, just trying to keep from losing their heads before finding a way to get back home.
Judith O'Brien did her homework when giving us the facts about Henry VIII and his court. This book takes place in 1540 when Anne Boleyn has been beheaded and Henry has just began his unhappy marriage to Anne of Cleves. I found this part of the story very interesting. My problem with the book was the heroine, Deanie, who was a bit of a ditz. While Kit is trying to keep them out of trouble so they're not sent to the Tower of London, she is off on her own, worrying about the futures of the Queen and Princess Elizabeth. So, unless you are a big fan of Tudor England, I'd give this book a pass. My rating: 2.5 Stars.
