Review by Booklist Review
The war with Napoléon might be over, but Royce Henry Varisey still has one battle left to fight. Sixteen years earlier, when Royce announced his plans to lead a cadre of British intelligence agents, his father, the Duke of Wolverstone, banished him. Now as Royce finally returns home to call a truce, he learns that the duke has died. Arriving at Wolverstone Castle to take up his new duties, Royce discovers the castle's chatelaine, Minerva Miranda Chesterton, has everything running smoothly. Minerva has even promised Royce's parents that she would see him properly established and that means choosing the right wife for her old friend. What Minerva doesn't realize is that as far as Royce is concerned, that woman is Minerva. Laurens brings her Bastion Club series to a splendid conclusion with the story of the club leader's own romantic comeuppance. Composed of equal measures of sexy romance and dangerous intrigue, Mastered by Love is irresistible.--Charles, John Copyright 2009 Booklist

Review by Library Journal Review
Royce Varisey, Duke of Wolverstone and former enigmatic Bastion Club leader Dalziel, heads to Northumbria to assume his new ducal responsibilities and find a wife. But Minerva Chesterton, the estate's insightful chatelaine and woman of his choice, will only marry for love, creating a dilemma for a man who thinks he's incapable of that emotion. VERDICT Erotically specific yet emotionally touching and infinitely romantic, this electrically charged, danger-tinged romance deliciously concludes Laurens's "Bastion Club" series. Laurens (Temptation and Surrender) lives in Melbourne, Australia. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
