This is the second Stephanie Laurens book I've read and I'm looking forward to reading all of her books, especially those of the Cynster Saga. The story evolved not only on love but on some happenings at Montrose Place, where Tristan and Leonora met and later fell in lust, then in love. The books is written with vivid details, steamy and passionate love scenes, suspenseful action scenes, and a bit of a mystery. The sweetest line Tristan uttered was Leonora being an important person in his life, he described it in a very detailed way how important she is. Both had interesting pasts their future together would be more colorful. Leonora is independent as most of Laurens' heroines, and Tristan being an ex-soldier is used to taking command. This story also has family values. Sometimes the pace is slow but there are no questions unanswered, and no loose ends. Both the hero and heroine are stubborn and most of the time clash in arguments, but the way they are described they're meant to be together. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. Great chemistry between Tristan and Leonora, both were strong and compelling characters. ( )

read romance

The first book of the Bastion Club. It's amazing. ( )

When Tristan's neighbour Leonora Carling alerts him to criminal activity in their neighborhood he becomes involved in her investigation despite his better judgement. Romance inevitably ensues. ( )
