A review by bookwyrm_lark
A Buccaneer at Heart by Stephanie Laurens

3.0

Wavering between 2.5 and 3 stars. Reasonably entertaining, but lacks the fire and intensity that make Laurens' early Cynster books so compelling. For one thing, there's little or no romantic tension; any tension or suspense stems from the mystery they're involved in solving. On the whole, it's really more of an adventure story, during the course of which the two main characters fall in love. (They don't even meet until almost 1/3 of the way through the book, but there aren't any obstacles in their relationship. Their physical attraction precedes their emotional attachment, but both are pretty quick and proceed without hitting any snags.) I may post a longer review later.
