THE CAPTURE OF THE EARL OF GLENCRAE
Stephanie Laurens

Reviewed by Heather Lobdell

Romance Historical

Anyone who has read Stephanie Laurens has fallen in love with the Cynsters. I have been following these books from the beginning and have never been let down. Each character, each branch of the family, each separate story has found its way into my heart. The Cynster Sister Trilogy has been a delight from beginning to end. I simply adore how each book, while written to be its own story, still gives me back my past heroes and heroines and provides me with that connection to them all over again. THE CAPTURE OF THE EARL OF GLENCRAE did that and more!

Out of the three sisters I must admit that Angelica has proven to be my favorite. Maybe it is her outspoken ways, maybe it is her independence and ability to lead without leading, maybe it is her talent for charming those around her. Whatever it is her personality simply shines throughout the entirety of this book.

I can imagine myself in her shoes glaring at brothers who do not know how to get out of the way, all the while being grateful that they were there anyways. Angelica simply has a spark for life that I, like all the others in the book, could not resist shaking my head and smiling about. As the youngest of Martin Cynster's daughters Angelica has finally taken possession of the pendent. A pendant said to help Cynster women find their hero. One glance and Angelica knew that her hero had been found; now she simply had to convince him of it.

I loved all the little ways Angelica managed to weasel and get what she wanted. A woman after my own heart, Angelica Cynster is portrayed exactly as she should have been. And of course we cannot forget her hero, the elusive Laird who was first seen in Viscount Breckenridge to the Rescue. I have been wondering about this Highland Laird and my curiosity kept growing with each appearance. At first, the wannabe kidnapper appears as the perfect bad guy. However, I quickly figured out that he was actually not so much the villain that he was made out to be. His appearances have caused reckless dangers for each sister, but have always led to much happier things. Dominic was everything that I could have asked for in a Highland Laird posing as English. The only thing I thought was missing was the Scottish brogue that I thought would have come out once we reach his home.

That said, as all Scottish Laird's Dominic's character held to his honor when things were at their most dire, he found himself changing and challenging his beliefs on a daily basis and still maintained his composure. Dominic grew as the story grew and I loved watching him come to terms with the fact that his life was forever altered by the kidnapping of one girl. At first, Dominic is not so certain that he hasn't captured more than he can handle in Angelica. But in the end he was able to recognize Angelica as a strength, an asset, a lifelong partner, and he was able to treasure what he had.

I simply cannot rave enough about this series, and most especially about this book. If you have never read a Cynster novel find one so that their stories can light up even your darkest night. I couldn't have asked for a better ending than THE CAPTURE OF THE EARL OF GLENCRAE for the Cynster Sister Trilogy!
