"the mystery plot was a little bit slow. it could have been a little more fast pace. on the romance side ehhh... i wasnt like obssesed with tristan and leonora. in fact sometimes i just wanted to shake leonora senseless. what is wrong with her?! she has this hot guy after her and she keeps bitching about it. tristan on the oher hand is totally diffrent. he knows he wants her and doesnt stop until he has her"

“Fans of Laurens’ popular Cynster…romances will expect the high adventure and steamy, sensual love scenes that are her signature, and they won’t be disappointed by this solid, if conventional, offering.”
— Publishers Weekly" The start of the Bastion club, with 7 ex-military spies out to seek their future wives. the first to fall gets more than he bargained for, they all sound very delicous. "
— Colleen, 2/19/2014" my first book to read by her & it was really good!! "
— Haylie, 2/18/2014" Overwrought. The bones of the characters and plot were fine, but oh! the writing! Unbearable. "
— Lois, 2/16/2014" Eh. I was kind of bored with this book. I like a good romance novel now and then, but this dragged on and on. Not really worth the time. "
— Carahcat, 1/6/2014" Another hit by Laurens. Not as steamy as some of her other books, happy to say, but an enjoyable read. "
— Peggy, 1/5/2014" Buku kedua Stephanie Laurens yang gw baca... Sama seperti buku pertamanya.. Alurnya lama dan buat kapok.. Cukup sekian baca karya penulis ini.... "
— Adinda, 1/4/2014" I liked this book, but didn't find it as engaging as some of her other books. I'll still try some others in the series. It has a strong female lead (as well as a strong male) and a mystery. "
— Carla, 11/13/2013" 1st of the Bastion club, secret formula "
— Dianne, 8/5/2013" I got this on my Kindle to try to figure out how to borrow from the library. Way to much romance for me. I was interested in the mystery. "
— Alex, 7/6/2013" Good story, but I'm not interested enough to dive right into the next book in this series. "
— Jill, 6/17/2013" lemayan lah daripada ga ada kerjaan ;p "
— Asrina, 4/28/2013" I love the Bastion Club Series.Plan to re-read some in the series so I can read them all order....finally!! "
— Mary, 1/11/2013" Somewhat long and drawn out, but the story was good, lots of action and a bit of mystery. "
— Kit★, 1/4/2013" She is my favorite romance author! I love that she connects all of her stories. "
— Becky, 11/4/2012" An adventurous start to a thrilling series. Tristan leads the Bastion Club with determination, but whoever thought that new neighbor would save him from the ton. Lenora finally finds a family who needs and will appreciate her order and planning. Can't wait for them to pop up in the future novels. "
— Ashley, 4/29/2012" Nope not working out. It's not for me. "
— Sababa, 2/13/2012" OK, I don't read this stuff, but Stephanie Laurens is almost as good as Mary Balogh. This was too long and way too much steamy groping but, in the end, I finished it. Don't think I'll go for the others in the series. This one had a mystery connected with it, unlike Balogh. "
— Judy, 1/30/2012" Tristan+Leonora kompak juga buat penyelidikan kasus, kisah cintanya rada rumit karena Leonora susah banget diajakin nikah hahaha... "
— Dina, 6/24/2011" Heroine drove me nuts and I felt like the book went on forever. It got to the point where I was just so darn bored I started skipping pages. "
— Ashley, 6/3/2011" Kurang greget,datar,cenderung mmbosankn.Heroine-nya jg nyebeliiiiiin,tiap dtiduri semangatnya '45,tp kukuh gak mo dnikahi.Sikap yg aneh u/ ukuran wanita lajang pd zaman it.Selain it,aktivitas spionase d buku ini jg kurang seruuuuu. <br/>*fiuuuuh...untung kmrn gak jd beli* "
— Mahareni, 5/19/2011" Ceritanya cukup keren.. tidak bertele2... endingnya sesuai harapan... <br/>Keren lah pokoknya stephanie laurens kalau merangkai kata.. bikin gak bisa berhenti baca.....:) "
— Ameelea, 5/9/2011" Couldn't get into it and didn't finish. The story as far as I read, could have been better told, made more intriguing. For me, it fell somewhat flat. Perhaps I should've read further but I prefer it when a story draws you in and makes you want to read more. "
— Anna, 4/20/2011" Audio version. <br/> <br/>This book just didn't translate well to audio. What was a satisfying read was a definite plod in audio. "
— Nicki, 11/13/2010" I admit it: I love me some smutty romance novel. This series doesn't disappoint in that respect. (wink wink, nudge nudge - grin !-) "
— Maggie, 9/23/2010" Somewhat long and drawn out, but the story was good, lots of action and a bit of mystery. "
— Kit?, 7/14/2010" 4.5. The first of the Bastion Club Series. Really entertaining. Really hot. "
— Danette, 5/30/2010" She is my favorite romance author! I love that she connects all of her stories. "
