Henrietta Cynster's talent lies with ferreting out the truth
underneath the folderols of impending engagement. Those who
request her skills can then make an informed decision rather
than be chivvied into marriage under false pretenses. As she
has no strong desire for the married state herself, the
impact of her actions on her own prospects is
inconsequential until in helping one friend, she harms
another.
As a bosom beau of her brother Simon, James Glossup has
known Henrietta Cynster for years. She was someone who
deserved his respect and protection until her unwarranted
interference ruined his chance of making a match that would
save his inheritance. If he cannot marry before time runs
out, he will lose the funds necessary to support those who
live on his estate. Henrietta insists on trying to help him
find a bride, but his own concerns fade when it becomes
clear her life is in danger.
Stephanie Laurens always succeeds in blending historical
romance with mystery and suspense. It is no surprise her
loyal fans are as eager to read the next installment in the
Cynster family adventures as they were when the series began
almost twenty books ago. I always know when I open a Laurens
romance that I will find main characters I can admire as
well as a story filled with humor and intrigue. Oh, and
don't forget the passion, the love scenes are plenty steamy
too.
AND THEN SHE FELL is the nineteenth in Stephanie Laurens'
Cynster series, the first in the Cynster
Sisters sub-series. Book twenty ( Cynster Sisters
two ), The Taming of Rider Cavanaugh, will be published in
July, 2013.
The only thing more troublesome than a Cynster man...is a
Cynster lady who belives love is not her destiny. Famously
known in London society as "The Matchbreaker," Henrietta
Cynster's uncanny skill lies in preventing ill-fated
nuptials - not in falling victim to Cupid's spell.
But then she distrupts one match too many and feels honor-
bound to assist dashing James Glossup in finding a
suitable bride for a marriage of convenience.
A task infernally complicated by the undeniable,
unquenchable attraction that flares between James and
Henrietta, who continues to believe she will never fall...
