  <description><![CDATA[<p>Tristan Wemyss, Earl of Trentham, never expected he'd need to wed within a year or forfeit his inheritance. But he is not one to bow to the matchmaking mamas of the ton. No, he will marry a lady of his own choosing. And the lady he chooses is the enchanting neighbor living with her family next door. Miss Leonora Carling has beauty, spirit and passion; unfortunately, matrimony is the last thing on her mind ...</p><p>To Leonora, Tristan's kisses are oh-so-tempting, but once bitten, forever shy, she has determinedly turned her back on marriage. But Tristan is a seasoned campaigner who will not accept defeat. And when a mysterious man attempts to scare Leonora and her family from their home, Tristan realizes he's been given the perfect excuse  to offer his services -- as protector, seducer and, ultimately, husband.</p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the second Stephanie Laurens book I've read and I'm looking forward to reading all of her books, especially those of the Cynster Saga.

    <body><![CDATA[The Lady Chosen is a pretty good historical. I tend to like historicals when they have a bit of a plot to them, and this one does. It makes everything more interesting. I liked the characters and the storyline. Tristan and Leonora were a good pair and their romance was nicely done.

    <body><![CDATA[I liked the idea of a group of noble gentlemen planning their marriages like a military campaign, but that's not at all what we get in this book.

    <![CDATA[<p>Tristan Wemyss, Earl of Trentham, never expected he'd need to wed within a year or forfeit his inheritance. But he is not one to bow to the matchmaking mamas of the ton. No, he will marry a lady of his own choosing. And the lady he chooses is the enchanting neighbor living with her family next door. Miss Leonora Carling has beauty, spirit and passion; unfortunately, matrimony is the last thing on her mind ...</p><p>To Leonora, Tristan's kisses are oh-so-tempting, but once bitten, forever shy, she has determinedly turned her back on marriage. But Tristan is a seasoned campaigner who will not accept defeat. And when a mysterious man attempts to scare Leonora and her family from their home, Tristan realizes he's been given the perfect excuse  to offer his services -- as protector, seducer and, ultimately, husband.</p>]]>
