Book Review By Katherine Randall
The Lady Chosen by Stephanie Laurens

Seven gentlemen who acted as secret agents for the English government during the Napoleonic wars have resigned. Each one of them has a title, wealth and are handsome. After so many years of war the gentlemen are unprepared for the onslaught of the matchmaking mamas of the ton. Therefore, they form The Bastion Club - established to aid each other in the hunt for a suitable wife - a wife who they choose. In The Lady Chosen, the first novel in the series, Tristan Wemyss, Earl of Trentham is establishing the club when new neighbour, Miss Leonora Carling seeks his aid in finding the men who have attempted to break into her uncle's house. Several attempted burglaries ensue and while unravelling the mystery, Trentham and Leonora explore the attraction that sparks between them.
