The Brazen Bride (Black Cobra #3)

The Brazen Bride is the third book in the Black Cobra quartet by Stephanie Laurens.

This swashbuckling tale of the third member of four soldiers carrying a letter from India to England to stop the reign of the savage cult of the Black Cobra begins with a shipwreck.

Lady Linnet Trevission of is used to things washing up in the coves surrounding her house. The isle of Guernsey, a British Channel Island, has seen its fair share of storms. But this time the storm has delivered a man. And with the help of her household, Linnet brings him home to be tended.

Logan is lucky to be alive. He has sword wounds, a concussion, and no memory beyond his first name.

While he regains his strength he enjoys the company of the woman who not only runs the house, but is basically the queen of the island.

Once his memory returns, he must set aside his feelings and continue his duty. Luckily, Lady Trevission has the means to help him. Though the plot follows a similar path as the other books, as they each have to reach the man who will help them destroy the Black Cobra, this book is (so far) the best in the series.

Laurens combines the historical with romantic suspense to create a must read for fans. Her set up in this series brings together members from her two other series, which readers always love. And her story is creative, imaginative, and a brazenly good time.
