On A Wild Night / On A Wicked Dawn

The 2 book arc for the Twin Cynsters sisters Amanda and Amelia was as great as I expected a Stephanie Laurens book to be. I am a little biased as I am a huge Stephanie Laurens Fan. The first book is the story of Amanda who is now 23 and tired of looking at the same gentlemen for another season. Her and her twin Amelia decide it is time for them to take the reins, so to speak, and looking for their perfect mates on their terms. Amanda decides to step into the fringes of the demi mode and see what happens. On her first night out she goes to a men's gaming hall and gets drawn into a game of whist and does not have a partner to help. Out of the dark steps Martin Fullbridge, Earl of Dexter who was banished from England by his father 10 years earlier for a murder he did not commit. Amanda & Martin win the game with Martin's stellar help and knows this is the man who will suit her best. The story proceeds to show the struggle of Amanda trying to draw Martin back into the haut ton and Martin trying to get Amanda to agree to marry him after they make love without having to make that step back into the ton. A lot of Martin's resistance is that if they look for the real murderer it may be someone close to him and he is not sure he wants to open that box. Amanda refuses to marry him as she will marry only for love. A very sensual and sexy game is played out as each tries to win the game of love. The old murder is addressed and a HEA is assured. In Amelias book, she has spent the season narrowing down a list of all the eligible gentlemen that could be her possible mate. Always at the head of the list is Luc Ashford who she has known all her life as their mothers are bussom buddies. But she needs to be sure that he truly is the one before she takes the next step. As the 1st Chapter starts, Amelia has been laying in wait to speak to Luc about her plan to help his family as she believes they are running low on funds due to their father who gambled it away. Luc has worked hard the last 8 years to restore the family coffers and on the night Amelia confronts him at 3:00am he is drunk from celebrating their return to the lives they should have. Amelia goes into her speech to convince Luc to marry her and use her dowry to put the family right. She promises to let it be a marriage of convenience, but secretly plans to make him fall in love with her. Luc has always has a special tenderness for Amelia, but with the plight that they were in knew he could never approach her as a prospective groom. Luc says yes and then sets out to teach Amelia all she needs to know so that she will fall in love with him. However, he does not ever plan to ever fall into that trap.This is such a fun romance as they go back and forth each trying to hold the reins in the relationship. They is a mystery to solve as someone has been stealing small expensive items from many od the hmes that the Ashford's have attended. The mystery does get solved and Amelia does get her HEA but this one was definitely lighter and more fun as Amelia learn to pull Luc's reins and he can do nothing to stop it.
