Title: Tame early fare from Stephanie Laurens
Product review: "A Season for Scandal" is a compilation of two of Laurens' early novellas. Fans of the Bar Cynster series may be disappointed; even though these are regency romances, they are far tamer than the sensual Cynster series. Nevertheless, both stories are fun and have compelling Cynster-ish heroes. I found the heroine in "Tangled Reins" annoying - one of those spunky young ladies who proves her independence by doing exactly the stupid/dangerous thing the hero warns her not to do, thus allowing him to rescue her. The heroine in "Fair Juno" was more interesting - a widow whose former husband fell into disgrace and committed suicide. Unfortunately, Laurens doesn't develop the interesting emotionally angles here as fully as she might. Despite my complaints, these were fairly innocuous stories and a light, pleasant read.
