About this listen

The pleasure of your company is requested at the wedding of Miss Eliza Cynster ... but not until she’s rescued from a daring abduction by the mostunexpected of heroes!

Brazenly kidnapped from her sister Heather’s engagement ball, Eliza Cynster is spirited north to Edinburgh. Desperate and determined to escape, she seizes upon the first possible champion who happens along - gentleman scholar Jeremy Carling.

Villains and rescues are a far cry from Jeremy’s expertise, yet he cannot abandon a damsel in distress. But danger lurks and hurdles abound in their race to escape the mysterious laird, until a final confrontation on a windswept cliff reveals what their future life could hold - if both are bold enough to capture and own the unexpected love they now share.

Great story

Even better than the first installment , this story concerns the abduction of Eliza, her escape and the steps they take to elude their captors. This has more adventure and less soul searching than the first installment and is entertaining. Could be a stand alone as well

Filler for book three

Too much of the same. 2 kidnappings was very redundant with high tailing it to Scotland
The story was a little more action packed than the first which was nice but the bond between the characters was a bit flat. These were both overkill to set up the third book, not sure why we had such similar story lines but u now expect a lot in the next one. The narrator has great male voices but the females r a little baby sounding. It makes the story telling a little annoying when the main characters are interacting Could have been shorter.
Overall a decent listen.

Good, could've been better!!!

I am a huge fan of Stephanie Laurens and I absolutely love the Cynster family and stories. I certainly was expecting this trilogy to be better especially the second book, I am so disappointed! I honestly hope that the third book is better than this one and they get an idea about the Laird and what he is after. Honestly, I am surprised they have no idea who he is or it is made so easy to kidnap the girls. Overall however, the books were a good listen.

Better than the first in the Series!!!!

Where does In Pursuit of Eliza Cynster rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I guess this book would rank right in the middle of all of the books I've listened too. It's not the best, but it's by far not the worst either.

What other book might you compare In Pursuit of Eliza Cynster to and why?

Most all of the books by Stephanie Laurens. Most of them are incredibly similar. I don't really compare Ms. Laurens with other Historical romance writers because all of her characters are almost identical and although some of her stories are unique she really never strays from her character traits.

Any additional comments?

I liked this second book in the Cynster Sisters Trilogy much better than the first book in the series. There was more action and the characters were able to admit their love without chapter after chapter of seeing who will or won't declare his/her love first.

I really enjoyed this second book in the series and I'm looking forward to the third book. I'm glad I didn't skip this book as I started too based on the other comments here and on other sites. I recommend this book and think that it brings more to the story than the first in the series.

Twists and turns like a rivers flow

very interesting and enjoyable story, clear presentation, draws a picture and entertains - the strong characters, a villan with whom one can empathise, a secondary villan who's vileness is reprehensible... thanks

Congruent caracters, and great adventure

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Use your credit and enjoy, the Jeremy the shcolar and the Eliza the quiet Cynster make a great love story, growing into their own and living the present.

What about Matthew Brenher???s performance did you like?

Matthew Brenher kept the voices and pace perfectly in accordance to the different characters, including Royce, Devil and Tristan. It is the best performance yet.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to this book in two days; it was a great escape and brought me back to value the present.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to hear Angelica's adventure!

Dissapointing

The story line was so implausible that for a while I was going to return the audible book. However, i decided to look past that & just lose myself in the romp. Not the best of Stephanie Laurens' books, however, that's why I only gave it 3 stars.
