A Match for Marcus Cynster by Stephanie Laurens
3.0

Stephanie Laurens, I just can't quit your Cynsters. The formula hasn't varied in 23 books (more if we count Cobra Quartet, Bastion Club, etc). She does make some interesting plot choices regarding feminism and women's power in the early Victorian era but still commits some pretty egregious sins of the "purple-prose" variety in the bedroom. Still fun reading though.

I echo earlier sentiments that moving to Harlequin has done no favors for her cover art and if she's going to keep going I hope that Sebastian and Antonia get together bc we get to see Devil and Chillingworth spar again.
