Ok. I know. Another Laurens book. But Lori and Linda both recommended her Bastion Club series. (I had been lazing in her Cynster books.) I have to say...thank you Ladies. I really, really liked Tristan and Leonora's story.
Outside of Garwood's medieval Scottland, Laurens' England is my favorite landscape. The added element of intrigue (read sexy, haunted spies) only improves on it. As do the seemingly oblivious scholars and the far-from-unseeing Aunts et al.
In addition to his sexy spy persona--all that calm power and resolve--I liked Tristan's emotional depth and honesty. I also appreciated and enjoyed the "battle" he waged to win Leonora.
As for Leonora, she is another of those emotionally strong (methodically so), mature and intelligent heroines I enjoy most. It was a delight watching as she finally "allowed" herself to love and to let another love her.
This was a good one.
I like all the heros in this series - they are very well written. I must say I was really glad to see her start a new series. I was getting bored with the Cynster series. If you like the historicals, have you read any Lisa Kleypas?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Lisa Kleypas. But will make a point to look for her books next. Thanks Lori!
ReplyDeleteMy first Kleypas books were Worth any Price and Again the Magic. To this day, they are two of my favorite books. I highly recommend either one.
