Editorial Review:

Product Description:


They proved their bravery fighting for His Majesty's Secret Service and were rewarded with brides of great beauty and breeding. But one member of the Bastion Club has remained a bachelor . . . until now.



"Christian, I need your help. There is no one else I can turn to . . . L."



When Christian Allardyce, 6th Marquess of Dearne, reads those words, his world turns upside down. Lady Letitia Randall is a woman like no other, and the day he left her behind to fight for king and country was the most difficult of his life. He never forgot the feel of her lips against his, but never expects to see her again. Yet now she seeks his help, and Christian knows he will not resist her plea.



Letitia believes that Christian abandoned her when she needed him most, and she hates to call on his aid. But to clear her brother's name, she has sworn to use every weapon at her command, even if it means seducing her ex-lover. Yet all the while, Christian is waging a war of his own—a campaign of pure pleasure and sweet revenge that will take them both beyond the edge of desire.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This book DRAGS
I love to read and can't get more than 100 pages into the book. So far I don't even remotely like the characters and it is just cumbersome to read.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not even close to a Great Read
I picked this up before a weekend when I was finally going to be kid free with my hubbie gone, I thought I'd settle in for a good read. I typically read a book in a little under 12 hours. This one has been sitting in my drawer for over 3 weeks now. Maybe it was the innundation of sex scences and lack of character development. It might also be that Letitia is annoyingly stubborn, completely unrealistic and there was no real emotion other than the "Vaux" temper (which was mentioned OVER and OVER ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent
Stephanie Laurens is an intelligent writer who holds your interest while keeping the romance alive. I recommend the complete Bastion Club series.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not so great...
I am usually a huge Stephanie Laurens fan. However, in this one book, I am not.

The female character is very hard to like. She is made out to be highly rude and obnoxious. The whole "Vaux" mentality to me makes her very unlikable.

Also, the thousands of references to "the Vaux" got really old by about the 12th page. I almost didn't finish the book I was so disappointed.

So, pick up anyone of her other books and you will have a great read. This one, not so much.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
As a long-time fan of Stephanie Laurens, I have read all the Bastion Club books out of a sense of loyalty but I'm glad this one is the next to last as the slow pace, one-dimensional characters and obvious plot devices are not consistent with her better writing elsewhere.

Like another reviewer, I thought the sex scenes were way too long and boring. Even more boring were the constant, and I do mean constant, thoughts of the hero and heroine about their willingness or unwillingess to cede ... Read More

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
