-Publishers Weekly "Laurens's delicious second Adventurers Quartet
Regency romance introduces protagonists whose compatibility
develops from their matched wits and bravery, making them charming
collaborators. Capt. Robert Frobisher is envious of his brother
Declan's happy life as a newlywed and decides that after he has
completed the mission Declan began (in The Lady's Command), he will
find himself a wife. Robert is certain that he doesn't want a woman
like Declan's beloved Edwina, preferring someone less "forceful."
However, on his mission to discover who is behind the disappearance
of numerous adults and children, he runs across Aileen Hopkins.
Robert's "inner diplomat" relents to "the buccaneer in him," and he
finds himself drawn to Aileen's strong will and determination.
Their romantic interest in each other, slow-brewed with the
increasing tension of the mystery, is natural and credible, and
their lovemaking scenes are simmering and sensual. The narrative's
changing perspectives keep the story moving quickly. Laurens deftly
balances action with dialogue and description, creating an
intriguing and suspenseful novel that is equally effective whether
read as a sequel or on it's own." -Publisher's Weekly, starred
