When Miss Juliet Laverick tracks down the mysterious, gentlemanly smuggler who kidnapped her and then disappeared two years ago, unexpected secrets are revealed—and unexpected love, as well.

Delightful end to the trilogy

This is the third in the Swanlea Spinsters story. Its been two years since baby sister Juliet was kidnapped and held for ransom by the handsome rouge Morgan Pryce whom she believed she was eloping. Until recently it has been kept secret from society about her abduction, now rumors are going round that she was ruined because of a secret elopment that didn't happen. Juliet's chances at a happy marriage are slim as long as people believe the rumors. She has turned down several suitors being unable to forget the man she loved who betrayed her. When her brother in law Griff hires someone to find Morgan Pryce they find out he was the ward of a wealthy nobleman, Sebastian. When the trio arrives at Sebastian's estate Juliet is shocked to find out Sebastian and Morgan are one and the same. Sebastian quickly explains that he is not her former abductor but his twin brother. The truth is Sebastian posed as his brother and did kidnap Juliet, but only because he believed his brother Morgan was being held by Crouch(the same man who had him kidnap Juliet.) Sebastian knows that nothing bad happened to Juliet during her abduction because he kept her safe and protected her from harm and scandal. He would like to marry Juliet, he never forgot her during the last two years, but will protect his brother Morgan at all costs. Morgan is still missing and Sebastian has made deals to get him safely home. If he admits he was Juliet's kidnapper, he will no longer be able to help Morgan.

Even though her brother in law believes Sebastian's story, Juliet knows in her heart that Sebastian was her true kidnapper. She sets a trap to get him to admit it, but he sidesteps all the way. Juliet still loves him but she needs answers, why did he kidnap her and why did he leave her behind. With the help of Rosalind, the two sisters find ways to delay their trip home. Juliet is falling for the rogue all over again, but she will not have a relationship based on lies. Sebastian is terrified of love, but still wants Juliet all the same. Can he trust her with his family secrets and his heart?

This book sizzled with sensuality. I like how Sebastian is not one of these worldly, I'm a gift to women type males who keeps mistresses all over. He is practically a monk, but with Juliet everything is different, he wants her for her, not what she can bring his title, or money. He has plenty. Juliet also could care less for his fortune, she wants love and trust and will settle for nothing less. Together they fit like a hand to a glove, its just good characters and a intriguing, but believable story.

Third Book of the Swanlea Spinster Series

After the Abduction is the story of what happens two years after Morgan Pryce kidnaps Juliet. Now two years later there are rumors about the kidnapping. Juliet's, her sister and brother-in-law decide to find Morgan Pryce and stop all the rumors. Lots of sub-plots, great romance and a duel. Check out the whole Swanlea Spinster series; Book 1: A Dangerous Love, Book 2: A Notorious Love, Book 3: After the Abduction, Book 4: Dance of Seduction and Book 5: Married to the Viscount.

Lots of twists and fun

Swanlea Spinster #3, the impetuous Julia, comes of age. I absolutely can't give too much of the plot away here, so suffice to say the eloping couple (Julia and Morgan Pryce) that Helena and Danny were pursuing in A Notorious Love did not complete any nuptials. Two years later, Julia is suffering society's backlash against the newly revealed elopement scandal. Breathing ire, she travels to Morgan's home, along with her sister Rosalind and Rosalind's incensed husband Griff Knighton, who is delicious as he stomps and snorts around (A Dangerous Love). She doesn't find Morgan but she finds his twin brother Sebastian, Lord Templemore. He lives a monkish life buried in the countryside, building and finely honing the guns he makes in his devilish forge. (Picture the sheltered Julia walking into `hell' - the forge - and finding Sebastian without his shirt on!) Predictably, sparks fly. Sebastian's hiding a lot of secrets, including Morgan's whereabouts. Devil take her, Julia upsets the delicate balance he's created to deal with everything. I loved watching Julia `upset' Sebastian and make him jump. For that matter, I loved watching him make her squirm, and gasp, and ... well, you'll have to read it. Great reading.
