Piatkus

Main Characters:

Deverell, Viscount Paignton and Phoebe Malleson

Brief outline of Plot:

Deverell is another Bastion Club member that needs a wife, desperately. He seeks advise from his Aunt who recommends just the girl and is dispatched off to a house party in the country to meet her, and finds his prey rather surprisingly in the library, buried in a book.

Bookish Phoebe is tempted to distraction by him, but marrying him isn't on her agenda .... in any case she has secret life that needs to stay hidden.

Rating and conclusion:

4.5 rating with Stephanie at her best - I can't believe that I had missed this Bastion Club book for so long .... I had actually thought that I'd read them all.

#144 ~ A Lady of His Own

A Lady of His Own by Stephanie Laurens

My rating: 4 of 5 stars












Bastion Club Series #3



I really don't have any time at the moment, as I'm busy doing a really big stamp order and still have a long way to go ... so this is just a quick rating and brief outline of the characters (more for my own benefit than any one else!).

After years as a spy in France Charles St Austell, Earl of Lostwithiel, returns to London and launches himself on to the marriage mart .... however he is quickly disillusioned by the sweet young misses and their mamas, and hies back off to Cornwall to work on a case for Dalziel.

Before he went into the army he had had spent an unforgettable afternoon with his childhood friend, Lady Penelope Selbourne, which has haunted him ever since.

His return finds Penelope still unmarried, and her mind has told her she wants nothing more to do with him ... her body on the other hand has very different ideas.

Will they get it together? ............ find out in this 4 star read.
