Mary Cynster, the youngest and last of the sisters to wed
has been biding her time, waiting for the necklace of the
Lady to become hers. She has her 'one and only hero' all
picked out, she only needs confirmation from the rose quartz
stone to move forward with her plans to find a husband who
will never impede her, one less mature and set in his ways.
Only then can she be certain to live her life based only on
her choices, not on the dictates of a husband. If only her
chosen one's older brother would just keep out of her way!
Ryder Cavanaugh is determined to protect his younger half-
brother from the machinations of his step mother and the
force of nature known as Mary Cynster. Any serious thought
toward leg-shackling is likely to scare the poor chap right
back into short pants, or worse, trap him in marriage while
still too young to know his own mind. Ryder finds Mary
fascinating, however, and knows he may be among the very few
men in existence strong enough to match her will. Yes, she
will do very well as his wife, it is only left to convince
her of the truth.
As is usual, Stephanie Laurens has blended a bit of mystery
and suspense with her fascinating historical romance,
nothing too dire but enough to keep the story piquant, and
as usual the love scenes are finely crafted and deliciously
emotive. The intertwining of love and family has always
been the underpinning to all the Cynster novels, but THE
TAMING OF RYDER CAVANAUGH more than any of the rest is a
true love letter to the strength of family. Rarely has an
epilogue moved me as much as the one Laurens has created. If
this second in the Cynster Sister duo is indeed the
final book in the Cynster saga, she has done her fans proud.
Even so, I can't help looking forward to the possibility of
hearing Lucilla's story as she is the next to wear the
Lady's stone, although she may not be ready for a wedding
until a decade more in the Cynster universe. No publication
date has been released at this point, and it is possible THE
TAMING OF RYDER CAVANAUGH is the last of the Cynster
novels, but I will continue hoping.
Lady Mary has been waiting years for this opportunity. Not
that her sister has thrown off her spinster ways and become
betrothed, it\'s finally Mary\'s chance for true love. She
knows exactly who she wants ––and it\'s not
someone as wild, unmanageable, and sinfully seductive as
Ryder Cavanaugh.
Ryder Cavanaugh, Marquess of Raventhorne, had never met a
woman who wouldn\'t happily fall at his feet––or
into his bed...until Lady Mary Cynster. But Ryder has made
some decisiosn abotu his life and he\'ll only succeed at
being the man he wants to be with Mary by his side. And
convincing her of that fact is just the kind of challenge he
thrills at...
