Wonderfully romantic escapism novel. The Bastion Club is a group of English gentlemen returned from the wars with Napoleon who all must marry. They form the Bastion Club and buy a residence in which to meet and share info on prospective brides and which debutantes and managing future mothers-in-laws to avoid. Of course there are mysteries which lead them to meet women they most likely would never have met in Almack's Assembly Room. The struggle between strong willed men and women ensue with lots of torrid romance thrown in.
This is the fourth book in the series. I'm not normally a reader of historical romance but I've been hooked by Laurens clever plots and her sizzling hot love scenes that are more than just hot sex; there are tenderness and romance blended with the passion which makes for a very good read. I'm also reading the Bastion Club series and while the main story line is a bit predictable (dominanting male wins reluctant female) her female characters are strong and smart and very much a match for our handsome and sexy hero. Can't wait for the next book in the series.
i have really enjoyed this book
