Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Regency romance juggernaut Laurens shows signs of fatigue in the third book of her Bastion Club septet (after The Lady Chosen and A Gentleman's Honor). Lord Charles St. Austell, earl of Lostwithiel, is one of the seven noble members of the Bastion Club ("a last bastion against the matchmakers of the ton") who served as spies during the Napoleonic wars and who still do a bit of investigating for the Crown when they're not braving eager ladies on the marriage mart. At his country estate, Charles encounters old friend (and old flame) Lady Penelope Selborne, who's up to her neck in intrigue. Penny's late brother may have been involved in schemes to smuggle secrets to France during the war—schemes that seem to be continuing with new sources even after his death. The novel features all the steamy sensuality for which Laurens is known, but the sex scenes lack the spark typical of her best work; Penny and Charles spend far too much time staring longingly at each other, dutifully denying their own urges. The unwieldy spy plot, meanwhile, progresses with agonizing slowness as the two interrogate every suspicious newcomer in town. Dedicated fans will probably stick with Laurens through the remaining four Bastion Club titles, but she's going to have to pick up the pace if she's to keep others intrigued.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read and it see what you think..., Jun 9 2008

By	Laura Finnamore - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Lady Of His Own (Mass Market Paperback)

This book ended up being a pretty good read as it mixed both romance and suspence. There were times throughout the book however that I wished things would just hurry up and happen. Some of the scenes in the book were too drawn out which made it hard to get through at times. Also, I think the ending could have been a little more exciting, but maybe that is just because I usually read murder mysteries and true crime. It is one of those books you just have to start reading to see if you like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Regency fans, Mar 2 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: A Lady Of His Own (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first Bastion book I have read. I loved it! Penny is sharp and complex Charles is the perfect gentleman, rugged yet kind. The plot grips you and does not let go. The relationship builds naturally and you feel like two people really could come to trust each other that much in two weeks.
The secondary characters are not given short shrift at all. By the end of the book I wanted to meet her odd uncle too.
