Finally the last member of the Bastion Club Christian Michael Allardyce 6th Marquess of Dearne has reclaimed his first and only love Lady Letitia Randall. They were lovers years before but certain unfortunate circumstances led to them being apart. But now that fate once again has given this two passionate lovers to fulfill their dreams and vows to each other. At first I didn't took a liking to Letitia's character for she has a formidable temper, impatient and very haughty. She has such a very strong personality. And Christian knows her very well enough just to leave her be when she is in a ranting mood. I am intrigued with the introduction of a new side character here in the name of Neville Roscoe. I have a feeling he will have his own story later on. I was hoping that the elusive traitor from the previous books will resurface once again but so far not a peep from him in this story. Perhaps in Dyziel's story he will be captured and revealed once and for all. I am kind of excited to read Dyziel's story since in the Epilogue his real identity has been revealed but the circumstances about his past and how he came about to working in the whitehall came to pass.This was a another enjoyable romantic story with a mix of mystery and murder. I think that Letitia is my least fave heroine in this series. There is just something about her that I don't like. She is just a tad too much of a tonnish lady for me to admire. She is not exactly gentle with dealing with other people. She is quite bitter, although given the reality of her first marriage it was understandable.
Review taken from my blog in September 2010:I think Stephanie Laurens might well become one of my favourite authors ~obviously not No. 1 that distinction goes to another Stephanie .... Meyer~ I really love her easy style of penning a romantic novel.I think I might have got one with an old cover, as this image of the cover I have been reading was quite hard to find ~the newer ones by Harper and Collins give the novel a much trashier feel, which is a huge shame ....but then, is it right to judge a book by its cover?The 7th one in the Bastion Club stable, it still stands alone and was a thoroughly good read, with no need to have read any of the others before .... just as well, I have only just read one other in the series ... actually only 2 from Stephanie Laurens so far anyway LOL.Again, it's steamy, and again, I loved it ~a thoroughly good read~ trust me I've read a LOT of romantic historical novels over the years.
Good book. Good suspense!
