Temptation and Surrender (Cynster #15) by Stephanie Laurens Start Date: April 17, 2013
I'm in:) Thanks Mick
I'm in!!
Me three! I guess I'm in for the long haul because I broke down and bought
. Question. Are we going to read
too somewhere in the mix? It was classed as a Cynster book but got taken off the list here on GR though the front cover says 'A Cynster Novel'. It's about Portia's sister, and Portia is Simon's heroine we've yet to meet in
.
I check SL website the ones I posted in the other thread are the one listed for cynstsr series. Maybe we can read it after we finish the cynsters?
We should read it after Simon and Portia's book :)
Oh durp, was doing some research and we've met Portia and Penelope already, they are Luc's sisters! From Wicked Dawn. I don't have a copy to see where Where the Heart Leads falls chronologically though.

I've been searching other teams threads and taking books from there LOL
Lol no other group is as fantastic as RLFTCI I saw your last post there I'll read that book if you like it.
The only reason I'm reading it is cause it goes with the show and that's where I am in the series. I had told myself I wouldn't read anymore cause the last couple were too far fetched and just not up to snuff with the first few books in the series. But.... it gets the most points LOL

Lol, I saw 7 new comments and was like, gee I didn't think my book order was that exciting xD
I've been curious to know how the remote control game was going

Phyllida's brother and she's Lucifer's wife
I got to Lucifer's part I had to read a few blurb to remember what their story was. I remember Horatio and remember phallus hit him on the head. But can't remember anything about jonas. Was phyllida the one involved in church and the night shipment of stuff? And the who almost got burned or have I mixed them up?
to be honest, I am not sure.
Lmao, I wasn't sure either, and reading my review of that one didn't help much. Must not have been good enough to remember well :p I'll probably start this tonight, don't think I'll have much chance to read tomorrow :(
I just started chapter 4 , I'm liking it so far.the situation they are in, I don't know how realistic it is of that era but it's interesting there is a mystery,.So I'm happy with it for now
I started remembering Lucifer's book, there are mentions of the character from their book.
I'm in the middle of chapter 8 and **gasps** I'm really enjoying it :D

Fixing to start ch 9 and I have to wonder what's going to happen at the ball ;)
I'm really liking this , I'm reading chapter 11 and I just can't stop .I think I know where the (view spoiler)

I'm back from church and am going back to reading...ch 9 where they're kissing at the ball. I'm looking forward to the something exciting ;)

Yes! I read that! I thought they were going to go the way of the rest of the Cynsters and look for a daybed in the middle of the ball ;)
I'm soooo happy they didn't , I probably would have deleted my book (I can't throw my tablet across the room so ...)
LOL you know, it's still early in the book. There may be another ball lol
I really hope not!but we'll see

Temptation and Surrender, by Stephanie Laurens
Handsome, wealthy, and well-born, Jonas Tallent has everything a gentleman needs to enjoy London society to the fullest - and he has. He's played cards until dawn, flirted with eligible young ladies, and made love to some ineligible ones.
But now he's restless, bored with the mindless frivolity and careless pleasure, so its with a sense of relief that he takes up the reins of his family's estate in rural Devon. His most pressing need is to hire a new manager for the inn--the center of village life. Such a small task, yet he discovers few decent applicants are willing to live in a quiet country backwater.
Then genteel but impoverished Miss Emily Beauregard applies for the position. Jonas's initial response is an emphatic "no!" Ladies, especially one as attractive as Emily, belong in the ballroom or the bedroom, not running an inn. But with no alternatives, he grudgingly allows Emily to try, and she rapidly proves herself worthy, resurrecting the inn with tact and skill.
But Em has a secret. Its not only the need to provide for herself and her orphaned siblings that has brought her to Devon. She's surreptitiously searching for a family treasure hidden in the village, the only clues to its location a cryptic rhyme handed down through the generations. Emily is determined to solve the puzzle, find the treasure and reinstate her family to its rightful place in society.
Yet Em hasn't bargained on Jonas. His experience is temptation, his attentions irresistible, and he's determined to aid her in her quest. He eventually persuades her to trust him, and together they unravel the clues . But someone else is watching, waiting, and once the family legacy is unearthed, the villain strikes, threatening Em, her family, and the love she and Jonas have discovered in each others' arms.
