In Pursuit of Eliza Cynster A Cynster Novel Cynster Sisters Trilogy Stephanie Laurens 9780062068613 Books

Well, diehard fans will love it, people like me who are starting to get peeved with the series are going to wish they've saved their 10 bucks. I can't decide if it's better or worse than Breckenridge, which isn't saying much. I've been a fan of Stephanie Laurence for years so I feel like a traitor saying this, IMO the Cynster series got progressively worse as it went along but these Cynster Sisters ones are beyond the pale. I'll still buy the 3rd one, because I have to know about the Earl. But that'll be it for me.
I don't think these 3 will be the last of them though, the pendant has to pass through more hands yet.

Pros...
We got to learn a fair bit more about the Earl of Glencrae. He still gets my vote as the most interesting character in the 2 books so far.
Several of the original Cynsters made an appearance toward the end, as did several of the Bastion Club characters.
Eliza is a much better heroine than Heather was, there was none of the continuous inner dialogue about whether or not he loves her, which was a relief
We didn't have to suffer through continual references to who was holding the reins, giving up the reins, taking a firm grip on the reins and whatever else it is they have all done with the reins in the previous 17 books. I think reins were only mentioned (in the context of love making) once.
Jeremy was an interesting character. For a scholar to become a hero, it takes a great deal of guts.

Cons...
I like my romance novels to be credible. OK maybe I'm nit picking because I've had enough, but still.

***********Stop reading now if you don't want spoilers************

Eliza not being able to ride was unbelievable. She's a Cynster, they would have found a way to teach her.
She had her breasts bound for 3 (?) days, I don't know if any of you have had to do that, but you can barley breath. 3 days of rushing up hill and down dale? I don't think so.
The chapter where they are going to race to the border in a gig carrying 2 people being pulled by 1 horse for 17 miles to out run a man on a horse (whilst continually referring to a map) is ludicrous.
What else can believably go wrong? and just how many bridges can believably be washed out?
And, why did they dump their saddle bags then run off clutching the belongings they couldn't leave behind? They had to go through them anyway to get out what they needed, the logical thing would have been to stuff their water etc into one of the empty ones, and then run. How do you run trying to juggle clay water jars?

The journey to Wolverstone was way too drawn out. Bart Simpson was sitting on my chair shouting arewethereyet?arewethereyet? The whole novel was about a hundred pages too long. It really needed a firmer hand with the editing. The extra length didn't help the story, it just drew it out and made it tedious.

Ok, the MAP! For goodness sake! Why did they need to consult the map so often? They're in the process of outrunning a nut with a gun, travelling as fast as the poor horse can drag them and she has to look at the map every 34 seconds. (I'll ignore the fact completely that it would have been impossible to read it under the circumstances). It's Scotland in 1829! How many roads can there possibly be, and they've already consulted it a dozen times in the last 3 chapters, they must have the bl##dy thing memorised by now, what are the hoping to find. Oh far out, I may never recover, lol!

But my absolute favourite, my highlight of the stupidity
...Halt Stop!...
and Monty Python pops up and says,
...or I shall shout, ...Halt Stop!, again...

In Pursuit of Eliza Cynster A Cynster Novel Cynster Sisters Trilogy Stephanie Laurens 9780062068613 Books Reviews

The plot has been reviewed, so I will explain why this book only got 3 1/2 stars from me.

The story was good, IMHO better than the first one. But I am seeing a trend in the last few books, the heroine becomes for lack of a better term a harp-o-matic, this started back in the black cobra books and has continued into this series.

In this series the heroines are all looking for their "heros" and Lord knows no one reading the book will ever forget it. This combine with the constant use of "our truth", "our reality", "reins", "landscape" etc. and it becomes a bit of a trial to read.

I kept thinking of William Shatner while I was reading this book - because he is so over the top, which doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching him - but my eyes do roll. That is how I felt about this book - I did enjoy it - but, I did a lot of eye rolling while reading and put it down several times, because I needed a break from the aforementioned "truth, reality, reins and landscapes".

I will read the next one, because I am enjoying the ongoing story of the Laird and am eager to see how that plays out.
IN PURSUIT OF ELIZA CYNSTER is the seventeenth novel in the Cynster series and the second book in the sub-trilogy about the three Cynster sister's. The trilogy concerns the attempted kidnapping of each of the sisters in turn by a mysterious Scottish laird. This book is the story of Eliza Cynster who is kidnapped from her sister's engagement party. Along the road of her abduction, Eliza ends up being rescued by Jeremy Carling (who is connected with Laurens' Bastion Club series). As the two attempt to get Eliza to safety, they end up falling in love.

I liked the romance between these two. These are two characters who do not appear to heroic qualities. Eliza is the quiet Cynster. She doesn't ride well and she doubts herself. Jeremy is a scholar and not the man that Eliza expected to organize her rescue. These two quieter characters grow and change during the course of their adventure. I really enjoyed how they confound the expectations of their families and become a unit. This is a different story as these two characters have different and unique lives from the others in the series.

It is not necessary to read all the Cynster books to enjoy this one but because this is a continuing story from the first book in the trilogy, VISCOUNT BRECKENRIDGE TO THE RESCUE should be read first.
I'm a huge Stephanie Laurens fan.. or should I say WAS a huge fan. I've read all of the Cynster novels, usually in a day because they were so amazing. Then came the Cobra Quarter and I was shocked at how bad they were and thought maybe Stephanie has writer's block. When I saw this trilogy, I thought" You can't mess up a Cynster story!" Boy, was I WRONG! Heather's story was ok, but this one, UGHHH, I'm only 2/3 of the way through and I had to stop to write this because if I can save one person from buying this book, my job as an avid reader is complete!

I actually like Jeremy and Eliza, they are different then other heros and heroines, which is refreshing. However, the whole story is implausible. *** Possible SPOILER*** Once he breaks her out of the house, why on earth try to make it to the border since he has friends he can stay with and protect her (there would have been a chaperone too BTW) until help can come from Wolverstone? No instead, they head off for the border and apparently travel EVERY possible road between England and Scotland. This story could be a commercial for TomTom or another GPS system. "TomTom--when you have to get your heroine there in a day." I have skipped over almost entire chapters because they were either looking at the map or in a love seen. I don't care how new your love is--nothing says agrument like a man and a woman looking at a map, deciding which way to go. Arrggh! I will no doubt buy the last book because I THINK Angelica may get a good story with the laird, although I'm skeptical at this point.

Ms Laurens, take some time off and get your muse back!!
