About the author
Stephanie Laurens
218 books5,636 followersStephanie Laurens was born in Sri Lanka, which was at the time the British colony of Ceylon. When she was 5, her family moved to Melbourne, Australia, where she was raised. After continuing through school and earning a Ph.D. in Biochemistry in Australia, Stephanie and her husband moved to Great Britain, taking one of the last true overland journeys from Katmandu to London.
Once in London, Stephanie and her husband both began work as research scientists in Kent. They lived in an area surrounded by history. Their own cottage was built in the 16th century, while next door were the protected ruins of an early Roman villa, and nearby was a 14th century castle.
After four years in England, Stephanie and her husband returned to Australia, where she continued to work in cancer research, eventually heading her own research laboratory. One evening Stephanie realized that she did not have any more of her favorite romance novels to read. After years of thinking about writing her own novel, during nights and weekends for the next several months, she began crafting her own story. That manuscript, Tangled Reins, was the first of her books to be published. After achieving a level of success with her novels, Stephanie "retired" from scientific research and became a full-time novelist. Her novels are primarily historical romances set in the Regency time period.
Stephanie and her husband live on peaceful acreage on the outskirts of Melbourne. If she isn't writing, she's reading, and if she's not reading, she's tending her garden.

Notes for Ms. Laurens
The 4th time you use the phrase "the red gold curls at the apex of her thighs," you have used the phrase at least 3 times too many, probably 4.
While there is increased blood flow, breasts don't get so engorged that they spill over the tops of bodices when a woman is aroused. If that happens to you, seek medical help.
It is not sexy to ask a person to pay for their room and board by having sex with you. It is abuse. That applies when the payer is male or female.
There is no distinction between male and female satisfaction/pleasure/triumph, etc. If a man is feeling satisfaction, we know it is male satisfaction; you don't need to tell us.
"Empurpled" is a word that should never be used to describe genitalia. It should, however, be used to describe your prose.
The villains are gay? Really? Way to perpetuate the hate!
A secret female pirate? Leading a crew of men in 1822? Now you are just fucking with me.

I'm not the sort of romance reader who claims to skim love scenes. I like love scenes. I anticipate them. But I also like for there to be a build-up to them. I like to savor the sexual tension between the hero and heroine. This book skips all that and heads straight into the bedroom. Chapter one on (or at least as far as I read, which was halfway through) contains a love scene.
Scratch that. This is sex, pure and simple, because the hero and heroine don't even know each other before they jump into the sack. Quite frankly, it got tedious.
Add to that the heroine is basically the ruler of all she surveys. Her word is law in her domain on the island of Guernsey. She even compares herself to Queen Elizabeth, only on a smaller scale. That much is fine. I could live with that.
But when it turns out she's also captain of her own ship -- in 1825 -- and the sailors all obey her without question, not even stopping to think about that old sea superstition that a female on board is a sign of bad luck. That development completely ruined my suspension of disbelief.
With a plot that is slow to develop (although it certainly promised a lot of action based on the prologue), and the old trope of the villians must be uber bad because they're gay, the numerous sex scenes and Captain Mary Sue, I was done.
And it's too bad, because I've enjoyed Stephanie Laurens in the past. I haven't read all of her Cynster novels because, after a while, they all blend into one another. I'd heard buzz that this new series was meant as a departure from the old one. It's true, this is a departure. Unfortunately that departure has taken a direction that is not to my taste.

This is the third book in Stepanie Laurens' "Black Cobra Quartet." The first two books, "The Untamed Bride" and "The Elusive Bride" were riveting, entertaining and full of "edge of your seat suspense." I cannot say the same for this third installment of the series.
The storyline follows four ex-Crown officers on a hair raising mission to travel from India to England, each carrying proof in the form of a scroll, that would name and condemn an English aristocrat who has been terrorizing India in his bid for wealth and power. Only one of the officers carries the original, seal embossed scroll, while the others are decoys carrying copies. Somewhere along their trip, each of our heroes acquires a lady companion (albeit reluctantly); hence, the romance aspect. The Cynsters and the infamous "Spymaster" from "the Bastion Club" series, along with his English spies, all make appearances here. I always love catching up with characters from other series to see how life has unfurled for them and it was fun re-visiting such unique and interesting characters as the Cynsters and "Daziel" aka "the Spymaster" and his rogues from the previous two series.
However, this third book, "The Brazen Bride," was a huge disappointment. Ms. Laurens is known to have a heavy hand with the "sex scenes" in most of her books, but this book proved too over the top for me. The very first liasion comes on page 20! Ah, can we at least set up the characters first, please, before you have them jumping each other? I could have dealt with that but for the fact that this "activity" occurred constantly until page 172! It was only then that the original storyline from the previous two books picked up and the chase was on. It was then that the promise of a suspense filled book, complete with twists and turns set up in the previous two books, came to fruition.
Having read the teaser for "The Reckless Bride" at the end of this book introducing the fourth and final cliffhanger of "The Black Cobra Quartet," I do have hope that it will fulfill the promise that was fully realized in the first two books in this series. I can confidently recommend the first two books in this series ("The Untamed Bride" and the "Elusive Bride") as gripping, hell bent for leather, hold on to your seats, exciting reads. I cannot say the same, unfortunately, for this third book for the reasons stated above.

Whether for good or bad, I read some other reviews before writing my own. I guess I am not a purist when it comes to romance novels. As long as I get a good yarn that takes me away from my present stresses, I am happy. I don't worry too much about if the story fits the time period. (I have often thought that if romance authors were really worried about the time period, they would be very concerned about having all their characters run into one another. I think we have overpopulated the era.)
So, I am pleased with this book. Laurens provided me with all that I wanted - entertainment and the opportunity to live adventure vicariously. For that I am grateful.

This book was the best so far, though I couldn't help hearing a dramatic—dun, dun, duuuuuun! at the end. Followed by an announcer's voice proclaiming, "Where is Carstairs? Will the Black Cobra succeed in stopping him? Will the 4th and final Missive make it to English shores? Tune in next time to find out!" Fortunately, I have the 4th book in hand, so it's not as gut wrenching as it could be. :)

The Brazen Bride
4.5 Stars
Series note: The plot takes place in parallel with books #1 and #2, and much of the backstory is provided therein. This book focuses on the third courier, Major Logan Monteith, and is the best in the series thus far.
Unlike the previous book, which detailed Gareth and Emily's tedious and repetitive journey across North Africa and Europe, the action in this installment begins almost immediately with Logan fighting for his life, losing his memory, and becoming romantically involved with Miss Linnet Trevission.
Linnet is an incredible heroine - strong, intelligent and independent. She is the antithesis of the self-absorbed and irresponsible Emily. Her chemistry with Logan is scorching, and their interactions in the first 1/3 set the tone for the rest of the book.
Logan is an honorable hero with strong principles and is both admiring and respectful of Linnet's needs, desires and accomplishments. Laurens skillfully incorporates his amnesia into the storyline and does not allow it to drag out or cause unnecessary misunderstandings or angst.
The plot in the last 2/3 returns to the ongoing story arc of the nefarious Black Cobra cult, and there are some very interesting developments and hints at a surprising twist to come in the final book - it is strongly suggested that the leader of the Black Cobra is actually . These clues had me returning to the previous books for any evidence, and I look forward to having my suspicions confirmed in the last book.

While I did enjoy this more than the last tow installments, there were a few things that just did not work for me at all.
First off, Linnet and Logan are good characters. I like the fact that Linnet is in charge and ships captain and fights with actual weapons. I like that Logan accepts she can keep herself safe and is not Alpha trying to pull rank on her. It would be great...
BUT
Linnet immediately sleeps with Logan, like he just woke up from his coma a few hours ago and she sleeps with him... He is asleep, she knows it... Then, she says for him to pay for his room and board with sex... Both of these are borderline rape and definitely abuse... Not good AT ALL. This makes it hard to root for them to be together...

Logan Monteith adalah perwira ketiga yg membawa salinan surat yg bisa menghancurkan Black Cobra. Namun sblm tiba di Inggris, Logan tertimpa sial, dirinya bertempur hebat dgn pengikut Black Cobra dan terdampar di Pulau Guernsey. Di pulau tsb, Logan ditolong dan dirawat seorang lady pemilik pulau tsb, Linnet Trevission.
Logan tersadar dlm keadaan amnesia dan dirinya mendapati ketertarikan yg sangat kuat pd Linnet. Dan di pulau ini, mereka "berpesta pora" dlm melakukan semua posisi s*x, berhubung Linnet meminta dgn sangat pd Logan utk mengajarinya, sbg bayaran atas pertolongannya.
Dan saat kesadaran Logan pulih sepenuhnya, dia sadar hrs ke Plymouth. Dia diantar Linnet dan bukan hanya Logan yg terkejut. Saya sbg pembaca juga terkejut. Ternyata Linnet bukan saja pemilik armada kapal, dia juga KAPTEN-nya dan mahir memimpin kapal Esperanza utk bermanuver melawan antek-antek Black Cobra ini.
Perjalanan surat tsb makin seru juga krn kejahatan dan ketamakan makin menunjukkan taring sbnrnya orang jahat tsb. Di paro akhir kita diajak oleh author utk menganalisa dan menelaah bagaimana menemukan dalang Black Cobra tsb. Sayangnya masih buntu saja kuartet ini utk menemukan dan makin bikin penasaran, alias buku terakhir nanti, The Reckless Bride KUDU WAJIB DIBACA.
Paro awal buku ini saya pikir bakal bosan dgn banyaknya posisi seksual yg dilakukan mereka berdua. Untungnya semakin ke belakang semakin seru. Karakter-karakter tokoh utamanya walau gak istimewa-istimewa amat tapi lumayan menarik juga. Yuk lanjut baca buku terakhir seri ini.

The third in the Black Cobra quartet, Laurens totally redeemed herdelf over the second installment with this one. I liked that Logan was the strong Alpha, but knew when to concede to Linnet when necesarry. Heartily looking forward to the fourth and final book of the series.
June 23, 2017
I am not really sure why but this one actually bored me. I was actually skipping the love making scenes, coz there was not much tension or thrill in the whole set-up.Even the chase for the scroll, the fight with the assassins all kind of lacked a spark for me.Loved Linnet's character though, it was easy to imagine her as a daring sailor and fighting her way thru all difficulties.

Really!! This is the best Stephanie Laurens can write??? What a bunch of nonsense, especially at the start. In the 1st 25 pages, heroine finds someone on the beach, takes him home to nurse, sleeps in the same bed with him (?), of course to keep him warm, and then has sex with him. Come on...

This book got so much better in the last three hours. The first, say, three-fourths of the book were just... ehhhhhh, how do I put it...
There is one scene that perfectly encapsulates why the romantic relationship in this book just does not work the way it should. It’s right in the middle of the amnesia plot line when Logan doesn’t remember anything about his life. Linnet asks him to educate her about sex and when he pushes back against the idea, she guilts him into it, saying that she’ll consider it repayment of her hospitality. In fact, she insists that’s how he should pay her back for saving his life. She won’t accept his offer to do chores or anything like that as thanks. Nope - she wants him servicing her physically. Because she‘s the queen of her little domain and she gets what she wants. And at this point in the story, Logan doesn’t even know if he has a wife and family waiting for him somewhere.
Had the genders been reversed, this would be decried as out and out rape. I’m not even sure that it shouldn’t be categorized as such. I was severely uncomfortable reading that part of the story and, had I not already been invested in the Black Cobra plot, I would have quit then and there.
The way it was presented, it was like Logan had no choice but to capitulate to her demands. Maybe it’s because I recently heard of a friend of a friend who is trying to divorce his whore-witch of a wife and the things she’s done to him and their kids are absolutely heinous (up to and including sexual abuse). To make something like that out to be a normal part of a romance... that whole thing set wrong with me.
So, yeah - I struggled to see the romance in any of this. Everything else is textbook romance novel and I should be happy to see these two get together. But that one scene, where she basically tells him that he ought to pay for her hospitality with sex, even though he is willing to do chores or make repairs or anything else to repay her for her kindness. Nope... she wants him in her bed and to do the kinkiest stuff he can think of.
It’s tainted the rest of the story. I pretty much hated Linnet. I didn’t even care that it turned out she was the captain of her own ship (it’s like, thats’s nice, but you’re still scum). And then she has the gall to complain when Logan hauls her off her own ship against her will after the cultists attack the ship and it’s guaranteed they will come after her and her crew if she stays. Honestly, I think that’s the start of payback for the crap she pulled. It doesn’t even the score, but it’s a start.
These two have a strange relationship. I suppose they deserve each other.
(This almost makes me want to write a story where the hero is a prisoner of a sex-crazed lunatic woman against his will and his wife is waiting for him and trying to find out if he’s coming back to her and she’s mounts a rescue to save him. Or is that The Odyssey? Eh....kind of?)
Anyway, it got better when the story rejoined the Black Cobra plot, already in progress. I’m really intrigued to find out how they’re going to bring these guys to justice. They’ve had so many close shaves and they nearly had them this time. But... nope. One more book to go.

The Brazen Bride is the story of the third courier attempting to bring proof of guilt of a vicious crime lord from India to England. The leader of the Black Cobra cult is a nobleman. Those trying to bring his campaign of theft, bribery, torture, intimidation, and murder to an end realize that the proof to bring him down needs to be incontrovertible. Now they have it. If they can catch him trying to capture one of the couriers, they’ll be able to convict him regardless of his status.
The third courier, Major Logan Monteith, is sailing home from Spain when his ship is caught in a storm and three Black Cobra assassins attack him on the ship. He kills one, but the final two wound him seriously just as the masts break and they are all dumped into the sea. Logan manages to lash himself to a broken piece of the ship before passing out. The others drown, but he survives with no memory of who he is or where he was heading.
Linnet Trevission and her wards and estate workers are fairly used to wrecks on the west side of Guernsey. The assassins drowned and/or were killed on the rocks, but Logan and his bit of wood survived with subdued signs of life. The frigid water slowed his bleeding wound; after more than 24 hours, he revives rather dramatically. His memory is totally gone – no name, no mission, no history. It take a few weeks for his memory to return in dribs and drabs. When he remembers his mission, he must be off, but he promises to return to Mon Coeur and Linnet. And the surprises begin.
The pace is good, the characters reservations about their relationship are not belabored, and there is plenty of drama in the race to bring the document home. The story may not be quite real, but it is a really fun read. Recommended.

The best of Quartet.
This is book 3 of the Black Cobra Quartet, though I ended up reading it last. I think I would have been happier with The Reckless Bride if I had read this first as there was a spoiler in the 4th that was less 'ha ha look what I've been keeping from you' with the info from this novel in place.
This is the story of Linnet, the 'virgin' queen of her island community and Logan, the bastard son of an Earl and courier for the scroll damning the Black Cobra. The book opens with Logan on the high seas fighting 3 assassin's during a storm and then promptly falling overboard and being smacked over his head to result in amnesia. I felt this allowed Stephanie Laurens to concentrate on building the love story between Logan & Linnet for the first third rather than being consumed with the mission & mystery of the Black Cobra Cult.
Linnet is an engaging strong woman and I had a much easier time believing her taking an abnormal female role given her history than other Luarens' heroines. Logan was a pretty standard cut with less of the personality of Rafe or Devil, but for all that he was a pleasant hero.
This book balanced the mystery and showcase of the Black Cobra movements well against the tapestry of the journey and love of Logan & Linnet. I found Logan's desire to keep his bastard status hidden annoying, but it was a small flaw in an otherwise great love story.
I think I'm one of the outliers on this as I prefer more sex than not (hence my trend toward paranormal romance) so I'll admit the sex scenes are heavier here than in most regency novels.
Additionally Spoilers for Reckless Bride Ahead .
Format note: There were a lot of strange line breaks and odd comma placements in the Kindle version.
This is book 3 of the Black Cobra Quartet, though I ended up reading it last. I think I would have been happier with The Reckless Bride if I had read this first as there was a spoiler in the 4th that was less 'ha ha look what I've been keeping from you' with the info from this novel in place.
This is the story of Linnet, the 'virgin' queen of her island community and Logan, the bastard son of an Earl and courier for the scroll damning the Black Cobra. The book opens with Logan on the high seas fighting 3 assassin's during a storm and then promptly falling overboard and being smacked over his head to result in amnesia. I felt this allowed Stephanie Laurens to concentrate on building the love story between Logan & Linnet for the first third rather than being consumed with the mission & mystery of the Black Cobra Cult.

Reading this book made me so angry. None of the previous books in this series, heck, nothing I’ve previously read from this author, led me to expect THIS. Was this written by a ghostwriter? The first two-thirds to three-quarters of this book belonged to a different story. The only thing it had in common with the other books in the series were the names of some of the characters. The plotless erotica that fills the first half of the book did nothing to advance the story. And what bottomless pit of bad plot ideas did turning the villains into incestuous gay lovers come from? Because that really made sense to the rest of the story. NOT. Thank the bright heavens for the last quarter of the book. It’s the only part that truly felt like it belonged to a Stephanie Laurens title – it’s also the only part of the story that touched on the plot of the whole series (more than half the reason I was reading this book). After wading through the drivel that made up so much of this book, I’m more than a little afraid to read the last one.

I was really looking forward to this book and was somewhat disappointed.It took me almost 4 days to finish this book and I am usually a book a day or two kinda girl. I loved the 1st two books in the series and this one was a little bit of a let down. Ive read other reviews of it and I have to agree...this book seemed like it was written by someone else. At least the 1st 3/4 of it. I enjoyed the ending and reading about former characters from prior books. I even liked the overly sexyiness of the book. What I didnt like was that the sex became sort of boring... 2 sex scenes before page 70 is pushing it..lol..and then when did the half brothers become gay??? I feel like that part of the book thru me for a loop. I wasnt shocked by them being gay...but they were half brothers!!! can you say ICKY????? Ugh....did not like that AT ALL. REALLY hoping the last in the series is much better..MUCH better.

This one wasn't as good as the first 2, but it was alright. As other people have complained, the sex was over the top in the first half of the book, but it was easy to overlook it bc I just skimmed the sex scenes to get to the good stuff. Although, that wasn't the thing that drove me absolutely crazy. The problem was the random arbitrary commas all over the place. I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, but in the e-format that I read, it's like the commas were breeding. I'm not really a grammar nazi, but commas in the middle of a sentence they had no reason to be in, messed up it's cadence and pulled me out of the story at least 4 times. It was annoying.

I loved the first three books in this series. Lots of action and some sexually explicit episodes that fit in the storyline. In this book the first eight chapters were just sexually explicit episodes with very little story. Then the action began. I enjoyed the last ten chapters.

The third book in the Black Cobra Quartet and I have been reading them in order. This is by far the best so far, and I really enjoyed it on it's own. Logan, the third of the couriers headed to meet with the Duke of Wolverstone, washes up on the shore near Linnet's home on the Isle of Guernsey. We have the usual cast of side characters, and the mad dash to deliver evidence against the Black Cobra. What's different in this one begins with Linnet. She initially appears to just be landed gentry, albeit with an unusual home situation filled with people and animals that Linnet has adopted in one way or another. More than that, Linnet is a businesswoman, the owner of a shipping company and the captain of her own ship who knows a thing or three about how to use a cutlass and how to win a battle at sea. She is really the best of strong heroines. Logan does not spend time trying to bring her down, but immediately recognizes her strengths and abilities. Further, once Logan knows he is in love, he just wants to be with her, on her terms. It is Linnet who must decide how she wants to move forward. I appreciate that there wasn't the usual internal argument by the hero that he's not good enough, the heroine should go be with someone else, etc., etc. He does have some issues with his own upbringing but wisely sets out to win Linnet on his own merits, instead of pushing her away. Also present is the continuing theme that the men are stronger with these women beside them. Here, Logan actually believes this, and works forward from this place, instead of it being a cudgel the women hit the men over the head with, figuratively, via the raised eyebrow and showing up when least expected. Take a strong heroine, Linnet, and combine her with a hero who truly sees her and appreciates her in Logan, and you have a winner. The conflicts with the cultists are different and interesting and well executed. There are twists and mysteries with the Black Cobra, and enough details to see how the 4 stories are happening simultaneously. After a disappointing second installment, I wasn't sure I could finish this series, but I really enjoyed this one.

Just like his other colleagues in the first 2 books, Major Logan Monteith was tasked to head back to England with one of the 4 copies of a proof that could bring down Black Cobra cultists for good. He was attacked by cultists and washed ashore where he was saved by Linnet Trevission. Linnet was a very strong woman. She was a businesswoman, a carer and a ship captain. She asked Logan to teach her about physical pleasures while he tried to recover the memories he lost. The rest of the stories were pretty much similar to the other 2 books, where they had to head back to England and finish the mission. Safely delivered the letter to Duke of Wolverstone (Dalziel in Bastion Club series)
I enjoyed this book the best out of the other 2 that I've read previously. On the good side, it started differently unlike the others. I loved both the male and female protagonists. Linnet was a very strong character. She knew what she wanted and very content with her life. Logan, on the other hand, let Linnet shine and tried not to annoyingly protect her all the time. Although, I didn't expect the sex to happen so early in the book. They were strangers and she chose to slept in the same bed with someone she didn't knew? and had sex when she didn't even know his name? Too reckless for Linnet's character really.
On the bad side, the end part of the book was getting boring. I read 3 books of this series without any break and definitely noticed how the end/climax was somewhat similar. I hated how the villains died in practically the same way - killed by their trusted ones because they were foolish enough to let themselves being followed by the protagonists. When Daniel died in this book, I was so frustrated. I assumed he would have learned by now to be cautious in fear that someone might followed him, but turned out he hadn't!

I think your enjoyment of this book will ultimately depend upon how you feel about some of the despicable behavior of the characters. Imagine this scenario: A woman is taken to a doctor for care after a horrific attack that leaves her on the brink of death. She is in severe pain from her extensive injuries, she is fading in and out of consciousness, and she doesn’t have any clue who she is or where she came from. One night, the doctor notices that in her delirious and unconscious state she is acting somewhat amorous. And since the doctor doesn’t have much sexual experience, he decides to have sex with her to see what it’s like. She is a complete stranger to him, but he justifies his actions because he doesn’t think she’ll remember if/when she wakes up. He gives zero thought to whether or not she is married, virginal, celibate, a nun, or anything else. Clearly she is medically unable to consent. Are you okay with that scenario being called “romance”? Because that is this book’s story with the roles reversed. In this story, the woman is the rapist so it’s apparently perfectly fine.
I continued the book after this scenario above, but I could never get past it. The couple does eventually get to know each other and have lots of consensual sex before falling in love, but the author never eludes to even a suggestion that Linnet’s behavior was wrong. And even though Logan has amnesia and can’t recall if he’s married or has a family, he jumps on board with the nightly sexual encounters after Linnet tells him that he owes her sex because she is letting him stay at her house. It’s just gross on so many levels. I’m not interested in romanticized rape.
There is one more book in this quartet, but I just can’t bring myself to continue. None of the books have been very good anyway. I really don’t recommend this series and I definitely do not recommend this book in particular.

Now don’t get us wrong we like our erotic and have nothing against sex, but at least 1/3 of the book, if not almost 1/2, is just sex. It is also in no way eases you into it, two pages in and bang there is sex. The last two books the amount of sex in them has grown. The first one had almost minimal sex scenes, number two started midway through the book and had a dollop more, and now by book number three we start out with sex and it takes up a good portion of the book. What gonna happen by the time we get to book number four is it going to be all sex?! Okay all kidding aside mom and me thought this book had a little to much sex and not enough plot for what the plot needed to keep up with the other book. On the good side though the sex was used to make the relationship stronger and was very explorative.
Sex was not the only thing rather unique about this book. Though most of the series is not in the house of historically accurate. This one is on an island all by itself. (Yes that is a bookly pun.) I am all for woman “wearing pants”(both figuratively and literally) , and do believe that there were plenty of woman in historical times that “wore pants”, but the way everyone treats the heroine being way ahead of her time leaves it lacking any resemblance of social norms of the time, and more resembling the social norm of our times. Not a bad thing at all. We loved this book just for what it is but if you come to be imerced in the time, best to go else where.
Over all we are reading this series for fun, and had just as much fun with this as the others. See you all for the finally.

Logan Montieth is one of four officers of the Crown tasked with the mission of bringing a document from India to England. The document identifies the Black Cobra who has been causing major problems in India. Naturally, the agents of the Black Cobra don't want the message to reach its intended target. The four men split up and take different paths back to England.
Logan is on a ship in the English Channel when he is attacked by the fanatics of the Black Cobra. There is a storm and he is injured, but he finds his way to Guernsey where he is rescued by Linnet Trevission who is the lord of the manor. Logan has lost his memory as a result of a blow to the head.
He and Linnet fall in love. Linnet doesn't have any hopes for a long-term relationship. She's fixed on Guernsey and knows that Logan will leave once he recovers his memory. Logan, however, feels like he's finally found a home and has no intention of abandoning it even after his memory returns.
The two wind up in England on the run from the cultists and meeting up with various members of the Cynsters and Bastion club members as they make their way to the persons who need Logan's message. Linnet's interactions with the women associated with the Cynsters and Bastion club members show her the way that she can make her relationship with Logan work.
This one was a very spicy story. Logan and Linnet's relationship begins as an intensely physical one. I enjoyed that part of the story but liked adventure part of the story more. At first, I thought the choice of a male narrator was an odd one, but I quickly came to enjoy Simon Prebble's narration.

Estoy entusiasmada con esta autora, no solo sabe contar la historia, sino q lo hace con originalidad. Hasta ahora todas las tramas han sido originales e incluso los personajes tienen peculiaridades q los distinguen unos de otros al punto de no poder hablar de clichés - de q los hay, los hay pero sumamente suavizados e incluso disfrazados.
La historia de Logan&Linnet tiene un giro totalmente distinto y se podría decir q la trama hace más hincapié en la historia personal de ambos personajes q en la persecución misma, q sí está ahí y de hecho se vuelve a adueñar del argumento pero solo desde la segunda mitad del libro xq la primera mitad es todo sobre el romance de la pareja y como van interactuando y haciendose parte de la vida del otro. Sabemos mucho más de sus vidas personales, de sus historias familiares y xq son como son, algo q ocurre como de forma más accesoria con las otras dos parejas.
También tenemos una mejor visión de los antagónicos, Daniel y Alex tienen personalidades malvades y definitivamente pervertidas, xq no tengo nada en contra de las relaciones H&H pero el incesto implica un nivel de perversión q me hace sentir muy incómoda. Aunq tengo q decir q hay algo q no me termina de cerrar con este personaje Alex, q sí es el más malvado, pero no estoy segura de q es, pero espero descubrirlo en el libro de Rafe, q me tiene muy ilusionada xq se supone q es el último, el broche de oro y solo para igualar los 3 anteriores deberá estar buenísimo.

[Might contain spoiler]
I was about to rate it 5 stars, but I changed my mind. Buku ini menceritakan tentang Mayor Logan Monteith yang sedang dalam perjalanan mengantarkan surat dan berakhir terdampar di Mon Coeur dalam keadaan tidak sadar dan amnesia. Karakter Linneth di buku ini bener-bener keren. She makes me goes- ugh yes ✨woman✨ she's so cool, brave, awesome.
Sedikit lupa dengan alur ceritanya karena kena reading slump dan berhenti baca buku ini cukup lama, dan baru bisa nyelesaiin sekarang. I regetted it. I should have finished this book a lot sooner. Karena aku bener-bener lupa sama alur sebelumnya, tapi aku gak baca lagi dari awal. It would be a waste of time, because I was eager to finish the book.
Kenapa aku kasih 4 bintang? BECAUSE MY BABY DANIEL IS DEAD. I wanted to cry because I love his sweet character whenever he's with Alex. Yes, I know, he's one of the villain, but- AAAAAaa 😭😭
Daniel berhasil dapatin surat yang dibawa Logan dan berniat menyerahkan surat itu ke Alex, sayangnya dia melakukan kesalahan dan Alex tahu.
Another reason, the ending. Ngegantung dan membuatku mati penasaran. Aku pengen cari dan baca buku selanjutnya, but since Daniel's dead... No, thank you.
