Fair Juno

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't overly dramatic, and the poor lead proposed about 3 times and still kept coming back!

Martin Cambden Willesden, the fifth Earl of Merton, has lost his father and two brothers and now acts as a knight to a damsel in distress. [where do they get these titles? grin] He is in a bit of a temper - on a dark back road [path really] - he was hoping to hit the road to London before dark. Hearing a scream he ties up his team of horses and bounds across the fields [or woods] to stop an attempted abduction - tis a fair Juno who swings around and slugges him - - - The attraction that springs up between them makes it imperative that he protect her - especially from his own rakish tendencies.He is bound and determined to wed his fair Juno - Lady Helen Walford [introed in Tangled Reins] and although she falls in love with him - she behaves very correctly and of course puts some obstacles in his path.We once again meet up with the Marquis of Hazelmere and his wife Dorothea - and all the friends called upon in Tangled Reins -- This makes the story far more interesting to me as the people become more like friends.This man of the silver grey eyes [or should I say orbs?] is lead a merry dance before he can make his fair Juno his.S. Laurens books make for a great change of pace and excellent reading -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
