New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens explores what happens when a gentleman intent on acquiring a business meets the unconventional lady owner, only to discover that she is not the biggest or the most lethal hurdle they and the business face. Martin Cynster arrives at Carmichael Steelworks set on acquiring the business as the jewel in his industrialist's crown, only to discover that the lady owner is not at all what he expected.Miss Sophia Carmichael learned about steelmaking at her father's knee and, having inherited the major shareholding, sees no reason not to continue exactly as she is-running the steelworks and steadily becoming an expert in steel alloys. When Martin Cynster tracks her down, she has no option but to listen to his offer-until impending disaster on the steelworks floor interrupts.Consequently, she tries to dismiss Martin, but he is persistent, and as he has now saved her life, gratitude compels her to hear him out. And day by day, as his understanding of her and the works grows, what he offers grows increasingly tempting, until a merger, both business-wise and personal, is very much on their cards.But a series of ever-escalating incidents makes it clear someone else has an eye on the steelworks. The quest to learn who and why leads Martin and Sophia into ever greater danger as, layer by layer, they uncover a diabolical scheme that, ultimately, will drain the lifeblood not just from the steelworks but from the city of Sheffield as well. "Laurens's books are always synonymous with sensuality and strong-willed heroes and heroines." Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The real problem I have with the story is that it's basically the same one I've read for most of the Next Generation series. The Cynster hero steps in to help a female having trouble with her business and decides almost immediately that she is his chosen wife. The lady doesn't have much to say about that, but hey, it's a Cynster. He guides her to solving the problem, having sex about midway through the book, and then HEA and big Cynster wedding. It feels very formulaic, and I'm not sure I'll continue the series. The writing is also repetitive, which is annoying but not the worst. I like Ms. Laurens but this feels lazy. At the same time, the story is enjoyable even if you know where it's going. ( )
