Loved the three little brothers.
My only quibble, really is this: if Alicia was so afraid the ton would find out she was masquerading as a widow to help find her sister a husband, what did they do at her very large wedding to which it seems a number of the grandes-dames were invited?

This is the book that got me started on the Bastion Club series. The gentlemen of the Bastion Club are dashing and mysterious, which is a winning combination for me.
The premise of the story is always kinda same somehow, but I don't know why I keep buying all the Bastion Series books. I guess I am the ultimate sucker for historical romance.

A Gentleman's Honor
2.5 Stars
While the murder/espionage plot has definite potential, there are too many implausible twists and turns.
Tony and Alicia have great chemistry, but the number of sex scenes is excessive and Laurens' purple prose is starting to grate on the nerves. I obviously need to take a break from her writing.

I liked Alicia and Tony well enough, but the entire premise of her being able to get away with this random deception (and the grandes dames buying into it, and the complete lack of self awareness in Lady Osbaldstone's comments about the ton when otherwise I really like her as a character) just....killed it for me. Ugh.
