The Reckless Bride is the final book in Stephanie Laurens's Black Cobra Quartet. Four soldier are travelling separately back from India to England to deliver evidence that could stop the reign of the Black Cobra.Captain Rafe Carstairs is the last of his group to return to England though he left first. When the group split up and left Bombay, none knew where the others would travel on their paths back to England. Carstairs has the longest journey but so far has not run into any of the cult members out to stop him.
Once he and his man reach Europe he has to decide how to proceed. His instructions, sent by Wolverstone - a man who has the power to see that the evidence is heard - tell him where to land on English soil, but before then his route is flexible.
It is in Budapest when Rafe meets up with Lady Esme Congreve who is traveling with her great niece Loretta Michelmarch. The women have lost their guard and Rafe needs them for camouflage.
Together they travel up the Danube River to the Rhine on their way back to England. Combining a historical romance with enough detail that readers will wish to hire a boat to follow those two rivers, Laurens has brilliantly completed her series. It is a must-read for fans.
