Does anyone still read Stephanie Laurens? I started the Cynster series and after reading Sebastian’s book, I was really excited to read it but then I read Vane’s book and thought it sucked big donkey balls, like serious donkey/gorilla/killer whale balls…so I stopped reading the series, I did finish Scandal’s story but only because I had already bought the book and knew I wasn’t going to take the book back. While I did enjoy Scandal’s book better than Vane’s, it wasn’t enough for me to go out and search for the rest of the series.
So I find myself at odds here, wondering why I want to read this book but knowing that I want to read this book.
Anyone else going to read this one?
They proved their bravery fighting for His Majesty’s Secret Service and were rewarded with brides of great beauty and breeding. But one member of the Bastion Club has remained a bachelor . . . until now.
“Christian, I need your help. There is no one else I can turn to . . . L.”
When Christian Allardyce, 6th Marquess of Dearne, reads those words, his world turns upside down. Lady Letitia Randall is a woman like no other, and the day he left her behind to fight for king and country was the most difficult of his life. He never forgot the feel of her lips against his, but never expects to see her again. Yet now she seeks his help, and Christian knows he will not resist her plea.
Letitia believes that Christian abandoned her when she needed him most, and she hates to call on his aid. But to clear her brother’s name, she has sworn to use every weapon at her command, even if it means seducing her ex-lover. Yet all the while, Christian is waging a war of his own—a campaign of pure pleasure and sweet revenge that will take them both beyond the edge of desire.
This book is available from Avon. You can pre-order it here or here in e-format.
Tempting. But give me a reason to believe this isn’t a carbon copy of her other thirty novels.
I have liked the Bastion Club stories much better than the last six or eight Cynsters (less repetitive, if you will) so I will probably get it.
Eventually…
I’ve never read Laurens. That’s right, never. Part of me wants to read The Devil’s Bride because so many readers seem to love it – but I have this prejudice against never-ending romance series……
I have a coworker who regularly reads Laurens though. Even the hard covers…although she works for a library, so she gets a copy at work as opposed to forking over her own hard earned cash.
Nope – not me. I tried one of her books – the first Bastion one – the one everyone says is the best one and couldn’t stand it. I haven’t been tempted to try her since.
Oops – I meant Cynster series.
I gave up on the Cynster novels long ago, but have been reading the Bastion Club series, so I’ll likely pick this one up, yup.
