The Truth About Love 3 Stars Series note: This is book #12 in numerical order but book #15 in chronological order. However, the reading order is flexible as each book is stand-alone unless otherwise stated. This installment returns once again to the stories of the Cynster brothers-in-law and focuses on Gerrard Debbington, whose sister, Patience, is married to Vane Cynster (book #2). Gerrard, a renowned artist, has sworn off women as he fears that falling in love will result in the loss of his ability to paint. Nevertheless, he soon changes his mind after meeting Jacqueline Tregonning, a spirited young woman who is the target of malicious gossip and evil lies. Gerrard and Jacqueline, with the help of family and friends, strive to unmask those responsible and find each other in the process. As is always the case with SL's books, the characters and plots are engaging if one is able to suffer through her overly repetitive and verbose writing style. It seems that after reading over a dozen of her works, I have become mostly inured. Even though Gerrard and Jacqueline's relationship is virtually identical to the other romance in the series with a reluctant hero finding his perfect mate, they are a sweet couple and their HEA is satisfying. The most compelling aspect of the book is the mystery, which is one of the darkest in the series. The nefarious plot against Jacqueline and the violence it spurns is spine-chilling, and the culprits are truly evil and perverted. All in all, I am enjoying my read of SL's backlist, but I wish she could find a good editor. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Bold, passionate and possessive, the Cynster men let nothing stand in their way when it comes to claiming the women of their hearts. Gerrard Debbington, Vane Cynster's brother-in-law, is one of London's most eligible gentlemen. Uninterested in marriage, his driving passion is to paint the fabled gardens of Lord Tregonning's Hellebore Hall -- an opportunity that is now at hand...if Gerrard agrees to create an honest portrait of Tregonning's daughter as well. Gerrard chafes at wasting his talents on some simpering miss, only to discover that Jacqueline Tregonning stirs him as no other. Certainly, she is beautiful, but it is her passionate nature that strikes sparks with Gerrard's own, igniting desire and sweeping them into each other's arms, convincing Gerrard that he has found his ideal soul mate -- the lady he must have as his wife. But something is horribly wrong at Hellebore Hall. Evil and lies are reaching out to ensnare Jacqueline -- and Gerrard will have to move Heaven and Earth to protect the remarkable woman who, for him, personifies the truth about love...

Despite my skepticism, it’s still a good fun story. Gerrard and Jacqueline are cute together.
Overall it was a fun albeit slightly exasperating read.

Also, also - How is this the 12th book in the series? The number of deaths surrounding the Cynster clan is astonishing! How are they not under constant surveillance by Scotland Yard? I know Devil, being a duke, can keep them away, but still! (Yes, I’m joking! I love all the mysteries!) ( )
