Search - A Lady of His Own (Bastion Club)

Published in 2004, this is the 3rd book in the Bastion Club Novels. One thing I like about this series is that so far, you can read the books in any order.
Stephanie Laurens is always enjoyable.
This book has an interesting, fairly complex plot. It is easy to identify with the main characters in the book. The love scenes are driven by emotions, rather than techniques.

Third in series. Good read

excellent series

Very good book. One of my favorites.

this was a very good read. the characters were very real.. my cover is not the same as the previewed one.

Restormel Abbey
Lostwithiel, Cornwall
April 1816

CRACK!

A log shattered in the grate; sparks sizzled and flew. Flames leapt, sending fingers of light playing over the leather spines lining the library walls.

Charles St. Austell, Earl of Lostwithiel, lifted his head from the padded depths of his armchair and checked that no embers had reached the shaggy pelts of his wolfhounds, Cassius and Brutus. Slumped in hairy mounds at his booted feet, neither hound twitched; neither was smoldering. Lips easing, Charles let his head loll back on the well-worn leather; raising the glass in his hand, he sipped, and returned to his cogitations. Chapter 1.

TO BE READ

Romance novel.

My son chewed the corner of the book somewhat. He didn't get as far as the words so you can still read it all.

Love the Bastion Club Series ... this is the 3rd book in the series.
