In Pursuit of Eliza Cynster by Stephanie Laurens
The pleasure of your company is requested at the wedding of Miss Eliza Cynster . . . but not until she’s rescued from a daring abduction by the most unexpected of heroes!

Brazenly kidnapped from her sister Heather’s engagement ball, Eliza Cynster is spirited north to Edinburgh. Desperate and determined to escape, she seizes upon the first possible champion who happens along— gentleman scholar Jeremy Carling.

Villains and rescues are a far cry from Jeremy’s expertise, yet he cannot abandon a damsel in distress. But danger lurks and hurdles abound in their race to escape the mysterious laird, until a final confrontation on a windswept cliff reveals what their future life could hold— if both are bold enough to capture and own the unexpected love they now share.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

IN PURSUIT OF ELIZA CYNSTER is one of those books that once read is never forgotten. I loved it, with its kidnapping plot, intriguing twists and turns, and a most dashing hero. The writing is first class, and I was instantly pulled into the story.

Eliza and Jeremy are the second couple in this series. I have not read the first book, but it did not matter. The plot unfolds at a steady pace, and I needed no introduction. Eliza is kidnapped, Jeremy rescues her, and they make their way through the countryside. Their kissing in the dusk made me smile, as did the measures he took to protect her from harm. I never would have thought of putting dry sticks around a perimeter, but he did, and it is the little details, like this one, that make the story come alive.

I thoroughly enjoyed tramping through 1829s Scotland with this pair. I am looking forward to reading the next installment in the series and will pick up a copy of the first book. Very well done!
