Editorial Review:

Product Description:

They proved their bravery fighting for His Majesty's Secret Service and were rewarded with brides of great beauty and breeding. But one member of the Bastion Club has remained a bachelor . . . until now.



"Christian, I need your help. There is no one else I can turn to . . . L."

When Christian Allardyce, 6th Marquess of Dearne, reads those words, his world turns upside down. Lady Letitia Randall is a woman like no other, and the day he left her behind to fight for king and country was the most difficult of his life. He never forgot the feel of her lips against his, but never expects to see her again. Yet now she seeks his help, and Christian knows he will not resist her plea.



Letitia believes that Christian abandoned her when she needed him most, and she hates to call on his aid. But to clear her brother's name, she has sworn to use every weapon at her command, even if it means seducing her ex-lover. Yet all the while, Christian is waging a war of his own—a campaign of pure pleasure and sweet revenge that will take them both beyond the edge of desire.






Rating: - excellent
Stephanie Laurens is an intelligent writer who holds your interest while keeping the romance alive. I recommend the complete Bastion Club series.

Rating: - Not so great...
I am usually a huge Stephanie Laurens fan. However, in this one book, I am not.

The female character is very hard to like. She is made out to be highly rude and obnoxious. The whole "Vaux" mentality to me makes her very unlikable.

Also, the thousands of references to "the Vaux" got really old by about the 12th page. I almost didn't finish the book I was so disappointed.

So, pick up anyone of her other books and you will have a great read. This one, not so ... Read More

Rating: - Disappointing
As a long-time fan of Stephanie Laurens, I have read all the Bastion Club books out of a sense of loyalty but I'm glad this one is the next to last as the slow pace, one-dimensional characters and obvious plot devices are not consistent with her better writing elsewhere.

Like another reviewer, I thought the sex scenes were way too long and boring. Even more boring were the constant, and I do mean constant, thoughts of the hero and heroine about their willingness or unwillingess to ... Read More

Rating: - The Last Bastian of the Club
I am a big fan of the Bastion club and I eagerly awaited this last(?) book. I know we have at least one more. The muddle of misunderstanding and betrayal - on both sides - seemed just not quite up to the usual standards but I found both our hero and heroine people I would have liked to know. The Vieux temper - and its susequent consequences makes you wonder if they just liked the dramatics. I certainly did. But as always you have Daziel and the others helping out the new couple and finally we ... Read More

Rating: - Would you mind writing a full sentence, please?
I like romance novels, especially after a long week at work. I grabbed this one from my mother's stash and settled in to relax.

It is, however, somewhat difficult to relax when all you can concentrate on when reading a novel is that the author clearly has a problem writing full sentences, or fractured sentences that make precious little sense. I have yet to finish the book, but I would venture to guess that a fairly large chunk of the novel is fashioned from these fractured sentences. ... Read More
