Fall under the enchanting spell of a Stephanie Laurens Regency romance with the next instalment in her hugely popular Cynster series.
Stephanie Lauren's last twelve titles have been NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY bestsellers. Stephanie lives with her husband and two daughters, along with two cats, Shakespeare and Marlowe.
New York Times best-selling author Laurens (www.stephanielaurens.com) pens her 15th novel in the Cynster series-following The Taste of Innocence (2007)-this time focusing on the character of Jonas Tallent, Lucifer Cynster's brother-in-law. The satisfaction of reacquainting yourself with the series' characters is offset by occasional historical and character-based inconsistencies (e.g., the exceedingly independent Regency-era heroine). The smooth reading by actress/narrator Roz Landor (Seduction of a Proper Gentleman) helps create some suspense, but she cannot overcome the unfortunately mediocre character development and numerous rote seduction scenes. This more modern-seeming-than-Regency tale, though dis-appointing, will attract Laurens's many fans. [Audio clip available through www.harperaudio.com.-Ed.]-Denise A. Garofalo, Mount Saint Mary Coll.
