4.0 out of 5 stars This Lady chose it,, 24 Jan 2004
The Lady Chosen, if like me, you're a Laurens fan, you may have been waiting for this book, for what feels like ever. I eagerly read it. The Bastion Club is a group of returning heroes from the war, feted (mainly, because there aren't that many eligible bacelors still around) in society, the men decide to buy a house and turn it into a club. A bolthole from all those marriage hunting mama's. Tristan holds true to that Lauren's image of a Regency man, blue blooded and true. Also very noble,( makes me wish that there were some around here) she skilfully weaves a tale of the man who knows he has to get married, in this case Tristan has to marry within the year or forfeit his inheritance. This would put all his lovely,scatty female dependents out on the street. He doesn't want to choose Leonora, but after she compromises him he is firmly under her spell. A plot concerning the theft of a powder that could help heal wounds on the battlefield, all pushes to a cracking finish. Lauren's remains my choice for fast paced, funny and non-boring Regency romance novels. I'm sick of whey faced heroines who swoon and expect the man to do it all, it's not accurate, there were many women who were independent and Laurens gives them a place within her books

2.0 out of 5 stars started off well, but fell flat after the first 150 pages, 14 Jun 2004
By A Customer
What started off as an interesting plot (a nefarious individual intent on gaining entry into Leonora's house by any means) fell flat when the story shifted to the increasingly desparate attempts of Tristan to get Leonora to marry him (after she seduced him). Then unfortunately it is all about illicit sex in secluded areas at their various hostesses houses, right in the middle of functions both attend every night. Which is fine if what you are looking for is just sex, unfortunately although I do not mind it (I am French afterall), every single page for about 3 chapters give you an overdose!!

Anyway, I gave her 2 stars, just for the plot. Maybe Laurens should cut the size of her book to compact a bit more the story rather then trying to fill it with too many sex scenes!

3.0 out of 5 stars More plot less sex please..., 8 May 2006
I am a Stephanie Laurens fan and have read and enjoyed all her books for the good plots, good characterisation and generally good use of English. Her books are fun to read and her heroes/heroines are believeable people. However I feel that in her later books - and "The Lady Chosen" is a good example of this - she has perhaps been encouraged to add longer and more explicit sex scenes. Sex sells...? Sex in a romance novel is fine and appropriate in the right context but I find too much anatomically correct sex can merely become boring. I agree with another reviewer - shorten the book by leaving out some of the repetitive sex and the book would still sell as Stephanie Laurens is a very gifted writer. Nevertheless, apart from this criticism I would recommend the book and will no doubt read it again in a few months - and skip the boring bits!!

It makes a change to find people referring to 'too much sex' as 'boring', with which statement I fully concur. Read more
