" I sorta liked the whole concept...but it was sooooo dragged out! I actually couldn't finish it. I usually finish a book in one night but I found myself taking 2 nights to only read 210 pages because I kept putting it down out of boredom! "

" A Regency romance with a who-done-it mystery. The predictable: both thought the other had abandoned them, reunion, finding the truth. I like Laurens but I felt this had a lot of sizzling sex. "

" I enjoy "HR" novel but S. Laurens novels sometimes feel like a "cookie cutter". It's almost like she just changes the the names of heroine & hero and just changes the settings so some of her novels have the feel of "sameness" but not all. I kept on reading because I really wanted to know who murdered Randall so I there was interest enough for me. Some of my favorites from SL is "On a wild night" and "On a wild dawn". "

" I have been slowing down on reading Stephanie Laurens, since she has joined the writers who think frequent sentence fragmentation and unnecessary and additional paragraphs add something to the writing. As far as I can tell, it just makes the writing choppy. I wanted to at least finish the Bastion Club books before dropping her altogether, however. If you skip the sex scenes that add absolutely nothing to the plot and get very repetitive throughout the series (I regularly skip them in almost all books where they are obviously a digression from the story-line), the rest of the book isn't bad. Lady Letitia is meant to be an upper aristocrat and Stephanie Laurens pulls this off well. You can almost hear her regally proclaim as you read. Her male prototypes leave something to be desired, but then so do most female writer's males. Maybe it's something we just cannot get, although I find Jayne Ann Krentz's males to be totally and sometimes humorously believable, so it is evidently not impossible. "

" Picked this up at the airport in Las Vegas out of desperation after missing my flight. To put it simply, this book is absolutely terrible. I passed it off to a friend who is a fan of earlier books by author Laurens and she thought it was awful too. Went directly to the donation pile. Really an awful book. "

" This author keeps your interest with all of her inventive story lines. Although a lot of explicit sex this can be eliminated by reading the first sentence of each paragraph until you get back to the initial story. "

" I've always liked Stephanie Laurens. Her heroes are always good guys, persistent alphas, monogamous, and yes, the heroins have to be won, but this just wore me out. I don't know if I'll finally finish it "

" I liked it but I wish I had the chance to red-line the book. The sections on the mystery moved well but the author often pauses in tense moments and stretches the text far longer than necessary with lengthy, repetitive descriptions. "
