As always Stephanie Laurens is a must read. It’s refreshing to meet a group of regency males who don’t have to be kicked, screaming and shouting to the altar. Sit back and enjoy the ride as another Bastion falls into the parson’s noose. More please!! The gentlemen of the Bastion Club have proven their courage while fighting England's enemies, but nothing has prepared them for dealing with that most formidable of challenges: the opposite sex. Deverell, Viscount Paignton, is in desperate need of a wife. Unmoved by the matchmaking “herd,” he seeks help from his aunt, who directs him to a lady she vows is perfect for him.
Dispatched to a country house party to look the lady over, he discovers her not swanning about among the guests but with her nose buried in a book in the library. Phoebe Malleson is tempted to distraction by Deverell, but marrying him isn't part of her plan. Moved by an incident in her past, Phoebe has a secret cause to which she's committed. Unfortunately, telling Deverell to go away doesn't work, and he quickly learns of her secret. But someone powerful has her cause targeted for destruction and her in their sights. Phoebe must accept Deverell's help though the cost to them both might be dear - and deadly.
Don’t miss the scintillating men of the Bastion Club – The Lady Chose, A Gentleman’s Honour, A Lady of his Own and A Fine Passion. Poor Deverell, he thinks securing the perfect bride will be easy. Well, he’s chosen his bride. Now his bride has to choose him….
"Dear boy, you have the matter entirely by the tail. It's not a case of Phoebe meeting with your approval, but of you meeting with hers. And that won't be readily forthcoming. It's not a question of whether she's the perfect bride for you - you may rest assured she is - but of you convincing her that you are the perfect husband for her." He blinked.
Audrey smiled, fondly patronizing again. "You surely didn't think securing the perfect bride would be easy." Reading the truth in her eyes, Deverell swallowed a groan. |
