And Then She Fell by Stephanie Laurens

Title:  And Then She Fell **
Author:  Stephanie Laurens
Grade:  B
Description from book jacket:  The only thing more troublesome than a Cynster man...is a Cynster lady who believes love is not her destiny.  Famously known in London society as "The Matchbreaker," Henrietta Cynster's uncanny skill lies in preventing ill-fated nuptials - not falling victim to Cupid's spell.  But then she disrupts one match too many and feels honor-bound to assist dashing James Glossup in finding a suitable bride for a marriage of-convenience.  A task infernally complicated by the undeniable, unquenchable attraction that flares between James and Henrietta, who continues to believe she will never fall...

Review:  Now this is Stephanie Laurens like I remember her.  When I read the first few Cynster Bar novels, I loved them.  Eventually as each member of the Bar were matched up the cast of characters became so big that they were a distraction instead of moving the stories forward.  The books became a kind of litany of all the Cynster relatives.  In fact, that's why I graded this book a "B" instead of an "A."  There was too much family in it.

And Then She Fell was really reminiscent of what I loved about the first few books by S.L.  I'm so glad I read it.  It was a total comfort read.  I recommend it.
