The second book in the series follow another of the 4 men who were given a mission to complete that was vital to the security of England, pitting his wits agains a cult that would stop at nothing to retrieve the message he carries. He takes a moment from his mission to help a lady with an assassin problem, she joins forces with him and together they face his cult her assassins and arrive safely in England. I liked this one a little better than its predecessor; it didn't seem to get quite so bogged down, though again I ended up impatient for it to reach its conclusion. I find myself tempted to go back and actually attempt a calculation--Gareth is arriving just two days after Del, but it seems like the description of their travels spanned a much longer time period. I don't recall if the first book dated every chapter, but this one did.Also, I hate to say it, but I think I may be developing a new pet peeve. Where's the law that says men in Regency romances must absolutely, positively fight a declaration of love as though their manor houses would collapse the second it's uttered? Apparently they can do everything possible to "show" how they feel, but to actually say the words is the Kryptonite by which they will lose all their powers? Anyway, if it was just here or there, I'd just chalk it up to character quirks, but I swear I feel like its been every one I've read over the last month or so, even with different authors. I guess that means I need to let the sub-genre rest for a bit.
What do You think about The Elusive Bride (2010)?
I'm really only reading these because they stop in so many different locations. They aren't for me.

kalau elemen romance-nya dikurangin dan aksinya ditambah, buku ini menjanjikan.
