Viscount Breckenridge to the Rescue, the first book in author Stephanie Laurens’ new trilogy about the Cynster sisters, offers strong characters, lots of steamy romance and humor along with a bit of danger and intrigue. Heather Cynster is bored with the season when she meets Timothy Danvers, Viscount Breckenridge, at a party. He escorts her outside to her carriage, only to witness her abduction. He follows the kidnappers to Scotland, where he is able to arrange a clandestine meeting with Heather and arranges her escape. The two must travel across the countryside on foot, hiding in woods and barns to avoid capture by a mysterious man who is tracking them. Heather and Breckenridge engage in a battle of wills–Heather asserts her independence while Breckenridge’s protective instincts cause him to attempt to control her. While both have feelings for the other, neither wants to admit to them. Will they be able to learn to share themselves and their feelings with each other? Laurens has created another delightful romance, with an added touch of mystery. Who is the mysterious man and why does he want to kidnap one of the Cynster sisters? The second book in the series, In Pursuit of Eliza Cynster, may offer some answers to these questions.
