review 1: Three very short but relatively well-written romances. Chase's story was the best suited to the compact format, although I think I definitely would've enjoyed it as a full-length book. The resolution of the misunderstanding between the betrothed couple was (just barely) believabl...

review 1: Oh, so much better than the first two.A somewhat villainous hero, although the peppy, can-do-anything attitude of the perfect heroine really got on my nerves.With the Cynsters believing the Scottish laird who tried to kidnap two other sisters dead, no one is watching Eliza. Who j...

review 1: An ok book by Laurens. She focused more on adventure than characters falling in love and subsequent sex scenes in this novel. The adventurous twists weren't all that unexpected as the investigators had decided from the beginning that it was one of 5 men who could have committed t...

review 1: I normally do not read anthologies/novellas. The stories are too short for me. I want a little more detail and a little longer courtship. The beginning, climax, and 'happily ever after' speed by too quickly. It smacks of fantasy. I like to believe that 'happily ever after' ta...

review 1: This is another fantastic instalment in the overall Cynster series. It's a little confusing at times if you haven't read all the previous instalments as pretty much every living Cynster member is mentioned in this book, as well as those in the Bastion Club. That was part of the r...

review 1: I was very disappointed in this book. Here was a character we have been reading about throughout the whole series. He was cloaked in mystery and danger.This could have been a really good story. I feel like SL just got tired of the series and just recycled another one of the books...

review 1: Three short stories, and I have to say, I liked the second one the best. The first, and the third didn't do as much for me. I felt like both the first and third were more rushed, emotionally for me. Though in the third one, the dueling pistols were hilarious. I thought that was g...

review 1: These are always awkward, when a romance novelist revisits former characters in a situation where they are no longer the center of attention but on the boundaries of the tale, but this one does better than most. And it does it by focusing mostly on the feelings between a tutor a...

review 1: Stephanie Laurens is always good at describing two stages of love affairs - the slow dance that is the beginning (glances, touches, glints in the eye), and the assured joy of a regular relationship (lots of her couples manage to sleep together as a matter of course, ignoring inci...

review 1: Perhaps I just like a female point of view, but I enjoyed this, the first in the Cynster sister series much more than the Bar Cynster books. Heather is 25 and has been holding out for a hero. She sneaks out to a party and is spotted by a friend of the family- Breckenridge who f...

review 1: The heroine was a haughty conceited and unpleasant posh. Completely unlikable.Moreover the author kept the mystery behind her marriage to another man, while secretly betrothed to Christian for over 110 pages, 1/3rd of the book, and that definitely killed all feelings I might have...

review 1: I tried hard, several times to get into this book. This is probably the worst Stephanie Laurens book I've ever read, and she is usually a pretty reliably good author to me. The love at first sight plot line almost never works for me nor does the whole piece of jewelry being s...

review 1: In this second volume of the Cynster Sisters Trilogy, Eliza is kidnapped by the same Scottish Laird who took her sister in the first book. Luckily, she manages to catch the attention of Jeremy Chatling, who fans of Laurens may recognize from one of the Bastion Club novels -- he's...

review 1: This is the book that made me a book addict!I hadn't read books on a regular basis until I saw this in the store, picked it up, read the back, and decided to buy it. I read it in about 2 days. After that I had to get everything Ms. Laurens has ever written. This was years ago....

review 1: I liked the characters, and it is an action-packed continuation of the Black Cobra series. But I felt like I was trudging along with the hero and heroine every step of the way in real time, fighting off cultists at every turn. I was sooo ready to get to the end of this book! It j...

review 1: One more Cynster novel - I did like it but if this book is compared to other Cynster novels (unfairly maybe - and I have read all of them - what with series and Stephanie Laurens among my favorites) - of which there are many now - this one lacks the magic of the earlier ones. It ...
