A Gentleman's Honor by Stephanie Laurens (Audiobook)

Tags:    [edit]



In this steamy Regency, the second in Laurens's new Bastion Club series (following The Lady Chosen), Lord Anthony Blake, a former spy for England, finds himself at loose ends after the fall of Napoleon. Genteel widow Alicia Carrington, who's in London to chaperone her younger sister, puts an end to Anthony's ennui when she stumbles upon a dead body at a soiree and he stumbles upon her at the same time. A mysterious villain seems determined to frame Alicia for the murder, but the real danger lies in the secret she's hiding from everyone-including Anthony, who quickly insinuates himself into her life. As in all of Laurens's romances, the love scenes are passionate, and chemistry hums between the pair. Alicia is a classic Laurens heroine: plucky and determined. Anthony is high-handed at times but not offensively so. Although the romantic tension relies heavily on a few unspoken words, it's entertaining to watch the baffled couple finally admit to their feelings. Unfortunately, the mystery subplot is less compelling, depending as it does on following a paper trail that offers up little drama. Still, Laurens's fans should be more than satisfied with this heady tale.

Dick Francis is best known for his horse-racing mysteries. After last year’s short story collection, Field of Thirteen, Francis is back with a full-length novel. Second Wind has hints of classic Francis -- secondary characters are owners or trainers -- but, in spite of the horse motif on the book cover, the main character is a BBC weatherman and the principal setting is a hurricane in the Caribbean. This departure from Francis’s usual form is not a complete success.
Perry Stuart is a physics Ph.D. and meteorologist on BBC television. He is devoted to his disabled grandmother. Perry and his friend, fellow weather broadcaster and amateur pilot, Kris Ironside, have always wanted to fly through a hurricane. After an outing to a horse training facility and a racetrack where Perry encounters various and sundry horsey types including the Darcys and the Fords, an opportunity arises to travel to Florida and perhaps fly through Odin, which has the potential of developing into a hurricane. His grandmother has the heebie-jeebies, which is usually an indication of danger, but Perry assures her there is almost no risk.

Instead of the usual annual novel that Francis's fans have come to expect, his most recent entry is a collection of short stories. Eight of the stories have been around the track before having been previously published in various magazines; five are young colts making their first showing in this anthology. There doesn't seem to be anything about horses and racing that Francis, a former steeplechase jockey, doesn't know. In Field of Thirteen he once again demonstrates there's more to horse racing than riding a horse.
All thirteen stories are written in the third person – a switch from Francis's usual first person point of view. All of the stories, of course, have some connection with horse racing, but that connection can be tenuous at best. Horse racing can be no more than an excuse for characters to meet. One of the stories is about a successful couple who have their revenge on the ungrateful daughter of their groom. Another is about the consequences of a horse doping. Another tracks the ramifications of the murder of a talented jockey. Another is about a crooked lawyer's scheme to defraud various associates of a horse broker.

Smuggling may be de rigueur for some along the Norfolk coast in 1815, but it isn't the usual activity of noble women. Not so for Kathryn "Kit" Cranmer--she yearns for adventure and excitement. Posing as a young boy, Kit is named leader of a ragtag gang of smugglers. Her wits and courage make her a natural leader. But the Norfolk coast is small, and smuggling provides the only lucrative means of support for most of the people who live there. As leader of her small band of smugglers, Kit finds herself pitted against Captain Jack, the head of a rival gang, when the groups compete for the same goods. Jack is infamous for his reputation, but Kit can't resist his charms and they enter into a love affair that is as tempestuous as the rocky coast on which their gangs fight.

High Stakes is a bit of a caper. Sort of a double switch when an inventor is taken for a ride by his trainer. As always the protagonist manages to fall in love and rallies in the cloak of the decent against the ravages of evil.
If you have not read a Francis before, I highly recommend him as an author. I remember putting him off for years thinking that they would be kind of hoaky, but they are not. Instead they are understated and quiet.
