The Tempting of Thomas Carrick Cynster Stephanie Laurens 9780778317821 Books

Like so many other modern writers, Stephanie Laurens had been a personal favorite. I don't know what publishing houses are doing to authors these days but current "favorites" are leaving me deeply disappointed.

This book begins and ends with a mystery, that feels as if it is the part Ms. Laurens wrote. The middle is filled with the "consort" relationship which seemed ploddingly planned and without much romance. Sex yes, romance, no. This is the part that feels as if it was written by a team of "other" writers. I can only assume that is what publishers are doing these days, and that is why so many novels seem disjointed and nonsensical. For me, this has diminished the enjoyment of reading a good romance story with offers charm, humor, strong characters, and a clever storyline. I'd much rather feel that I have a "keeper" to read and enjoy in the future, rather than other book I'll give to the local Thrift store without a second thought.

The Tempting of Thomas Carrick Cynster Stephanie Laurens 9780778317821 Books Reviews

I've always really liked Stephanie Laurens books, but this one just didn't work for me. I didn't like the way Lucilla or Thomas treated each other, and really didn't feel like they belonged together.

I liked Lucilla for the most part, but I really didn't like the way she tried to manipulate Thomas into a relationship. She was sure if she showed him how good they could be together, that he would agree with her. That is not love.

I didn't like Thomas much at all. He was kind of cold and distant to everyone, even Lucilla. But when he decided to sleep with her, even though he had no intention of continuing their relationship -- I just couldn't like him anymore at all.

I know the whole point of their story was that they were "destined" to be together, but I just didn't like the way either one of them behaved. I thought they both needed to learn not to try to control or use each other.
I love Stephanie Laurens and I love a Cynster novel, so this was good. However, there were so many questions left unanswered it left me feeling discontent, rather than finished. I like a book to stand alone and also be able to run in a series, and this one feels incomplete. Still, I love the characters and I was also attracted to what relationship Marcus and Niniver will develop. It's an inevitable, forgone conclusion. Can't wait for the conclusion and to see the next Cynster fall in love.
If you like Stephanie Laurens work, or steamy sex scenes, then you will probably quite like this book. It's about average for her though. Thomas Carrick and Lucilla Cynster are fated for each other, but Carrick has lived most of his life in Glasgow, and knows that Lucilla is tied to Casphairn Manor. So he's been avoiding her, hoping his fixation will eventually die off and he'll be able to marry some nice city girl. However, when Carrick receives disturbing news concerning problems with Carrick Estate, his clan holdings, he heads off to see what he can do.

Truth be told, I found the problems at the Carrick Estate much more interesting than Thomas and Lucilla's love life, but after three attempts on Lucilla's life, Thomas and Lucilla head back to neighboring Casphairn Manor where they pursue their romantic inclinations. The mystery part of the story is put on hold and isn't really addressed again until the epilogue, nor our the bounders brought to heel. Instead, the story of Carrick Estate will be carried over the Lauren's next book, A Match for Marcus Cynster, which is due out in May.

A few things that bothered me...the Adder and the Gargoyle evidently there are not too many inventive ways to make attempts on people's lives in the Regency Era, but Laurens has used the Adder and Gargoyle in her previous stories. So you just know when those scenes are coming up. The attempt to smother Lucilla with a pillow was kind of new. It just sort of bothered me that rather than rousing the household and at least trying to find the murder, Lucilla treats it as a way to get Thomas into her room and into her bed.

The other thing was the use of the double "that" in a sentence as well as the double "had". Yes, technically, they are grammatically correct, however, they are difficult to read. Laurens uses them a fair bit the in the book. I just found it unusual, as given the amount of reading I do, I can't remember the last time I've see the double "that" used in a book, not to mention seeing it used more than once in the same book.

Yes, I've got the sequel on order. I'm quite sure there is more villainy to come, so I'll be looking forward to Marcus and Niniver taking over the investigation in May.
