In retrospect, I have a few problems with the motivations and the behavior of the heroine of Stephanie Laurens' new Regency historical, the fourth in her chronicle of the marital adventures of the six cousin Cynsters. But the fact is that these difficulties occurred to me only as I began to analyze the book. While I was reading the story, I was so caught up in the tale of Demon and Flick that rational thought took a back seat to enjoyment. Hence the four heart rating. This Cynster cousin has already made a name for himself as a horse breeder and racer.
Irish stallion is of the female persuasion.
Flick informs him that she has taken the position to try to ferret out the man who has led her cousin, the general s son Dillon, astray into a race fixing scheme. She pleads with Demon to help her. Demon agrees at once, both because he owes the general a great deal and also because he wants to preserve the integrity of his sport. Thus Demon, who has seen his brother and two cousins fall into the marriage trap but is convinced that he can avoid its snares, meets the one woman who is his perfect match. The outcome might be inevitable, but it s lots of fun watching the show.
