“Features all the steamy sensuality for which Laurens is known.”
— Publishers Weekly“Laurens heats up the pages with sexual tension as her strong-willed characters engage in a sizzling battle of wills. With its marvelous miz of smugglers, murder, hidden treasure and several possible traitors, this book has the ideal blend of hot passion and mystery. Laurens excels at presenting the Regency era in a new light, and A Lady of His Own is no exception. A winner!”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)“Laurens shines with this fast-paced sensuous romance and exciting mystery…the love scenes sizzle and the tension is palpable…a superb read for a crisp autumn evening.”
— thebestreviews.com" It wasn't too bad. "
— Amy, 1/27/2014" New Series was really good... just like the Cynster Series "
— Stephanie, 12/25/2013" so predictable... but easy read "
— Jessica, 12/9/2013" Finished this the other night - starting to pick up the formula in these books now, but they're still good stories non the less. Will stick with them, as I want to read all the Bastion stories, then go back and read Dalziel's story, which is the one I started with and see what I make of the end of the series from that. "
— Carol, 11/21/2013" Although the "old" spy plot (not the current one, but the set-up for it) seems rather far-fetched and hard to believe it was sustained for about 40 years, I really loved Charles and Penny's relationship. "
— Melissa, 11/21/2013" The Bastion Club novels are set to be as exciting and romantically full-filling as the Cycnster series. Strong-willed heroines and sensual heroes make for an pleasurable evening read. "
— Katie, 11/17/2013" I liked Penny and Charles quite a bit. As with the others the story went on a little too long, but was a fun read. I think the reason I enjoy these is that they are all about competent people, no fluttering unless it's specifically called for by circumstance. "
— Rachel, 9/20/2013" Spy story and romance. There was alot for me that wasn't adequately explained about the characters feelings and motivations, and the spy story was a bit far-fetched, but overall a fun escape read. More like a 2 1/2 stars. "
— Carla, 6/14/2013" I really liked this heroine she keeps stopping in the middle of emotional entanglements to think about how she feels and what the future implications could be. That made me like her more despite it driving me demented to read it! "
— Barbara, 5/26/2013" I tried but at the end couldn't finish it. It was too long and I felt that it did drag as one review mentioned. At the end I felt that this novel was simply not for me. "
— Zinnia, 5/4/2013" better than most romance novels. "
— Bj, 4/13/2013" This book gets a 5/5 because of a bloody great plot! I could not figure out who the villain was until I read it. Very good! My only grief with this book, is as with all other books by Stephanie Laurens... "
— Beate, 1/18/2013" Out of Stephanie Laurens Bastion series so far I think this was my favorite. This was Charles St. Austell's story. I liked Penny's character alot. She was very much her own woman. I am hoping at some point that Laurens sees fit to give Dalziel his own book. "

— Dianne, 8/19/2012" Love the Club "
— Nikel27, 6/20/2012" She writes a good story, in this one, too much sex and not enough story "
— Frances, 6/13/2012" Cerita Charles dan Penny seru juga. Gak kalah ama cerita sebelumnya. Romance-nya juga dapet banget! "
— Dina, 3/24/2012" This wasn't my favorite in the Bastion Club series but they have all been worth reading. I love historical romance. "
— LuAnn, 1/19/2012" I liked that Penny was a strong independent woman and that Charles knew that he wanted her and fought and campaigned for her. However, the story got too long and dragged on and on. They would eat, change investigate, finally have sex, then repeat the process. The book could have been shorter. "
