The Lady By His Side by Stephanie Laurens Book Summary

A marquess in need of the right bride. An earl’s daughter in search of a purpose. A betrayal that ends in murder and balloons into a threat to the realm. 

Sebastian Cynster knows time is running out. If he doesn’t choose a wife soon, his female relatives will line up to assist him. Yet the current debutantes do not appeal. Where is he to find the right lady to be his marchioness? Then Drake Varisey, eldest son of the Duke of Wolverstone, asks for Sebastian’s aid.

Having assumed his father’s mantle in protecting queen and country, Drake must go to Ireland in pursuit of a dangerous plot. But he’s received an urgent missive from Lord Ennis, an Irish peer—Ennis has heard something Drake needs to know. Ennis insists Drake attends an upcoming house party at Ennis’s Kent estate so Ennis can reveal his information face-to-face. 

Sebastian has assisted Drake before and, long ago, had a liaison with Lady Ennis. Drake insists Sebastian is just the man to be Drake’s surrogate at the house party—the guests will imagine all manner of possibilities and be blind to Sebastian’s true purpose. Unsurprisingly, Sebastian is reluctant, but Drake’s need is real. With only more debutantes on his horizon, Sebastian allows himself to be persuaded.

His first task is to inveigle Antonia Rawlings, a lady he has known all her life, to include him as her escort to the house party. Although he’s seen little of Antonia in recent years, Sebastian is confident of gaining her support. Eldest daughter of the Earl of Chillingworth, Antonia has abandoned the search for a husband and plans to use the week of the house party to decide what to do with her life. There has to be some purpose, some role, she can claim for her own.

Consequently, on hearing Sebastian’s request and an explanation of what lies behind it, she seizes on the call to action. Suppressing her senses’ idiotic reaction to Sebastian’s nearness, she agrees to be his partner-in-intrigue. But while joining the house party proves easy, the gathering is thrown into chaos when Lord Ennis is murdered—just before he was to speak with Sebastian. Worse, Ennis’s last words, gasped to Sebastian, are: Gunpowder. Here.

Gunpowder? And here, where?

With a killer continuing to stalk the halls, side by side, Sebastian and Antonia search for answers and, all the while, the childhood connection that had always existed between them strengthens and blooms…into something so much more.

First volume in a trilogy. A historical romance with gothic overtones layered over a continuing intrigue. A full length novel of 99,000 words.

The Lady by His Side. This historical romance was more of a mystery and not a very interesting one at that. It was slow and boring and difficult to read. The authors writing style of using long, long sentences linked with commas and hyphens was exhausting along with details of the ongoing investigation into ‘who done it’. I liked Sebastian and Antonia’s love story, but again, much was lost in the minutiae of writing. I would not recommend this book.

Unexpected Mystery Romance. This was incredible .. I loved that this trilogy took a departure from your normal formula of light mystery and heavy romance because as I do love and I mean LOVE historical romance .. historical MYSTERY romance is even more incredible .. especially when it takes place in the wonderful world you create .. I read them out of order started with the second book first by accident and then read this one but luckily it didn’t hinder the experience whatsoever.. I’m so excited to now start the third installment.. I’m currently out of work right now with a knee injury so this has been a wonderful and welcome distraction!

Boring. Find the book boring. I wasn't expecting a murder mystery novel. I love the original Cynster saga and enjoyed Marcus' story but this one is a letdown. Hopefully the next one is not as drawn out as this. Sigh

The Lady By His Side. Excellent main characters in line with Devil and Honoria Cynster and Giles and Francesca Chillinworth: I enjoyed the mystery and the romantic involvement.

Great read!. I really enjoyed this story. It was like catching up with old friends while making new acquaintances as well. I can't wait for the next book!
