Responsibility knocks, and a reckless, hedonistic man responds and opens the door to love—thus is a daredevil snared.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens brings you the third installment in THE ADVENTURERS QUARTET, continuing the drama of Regency-era high seas adventure, laced with a mystery shrouded in the heat of tropical jungles, and spiced with the passionate romances of four couples and their unexpected journeys into love.

Captain Caleb Frobisher, hedonistic youngest son of a seafaring dynasty, wants to be taken seriously by his family, and understands he has to prove himself sufficiently reformed. When opportunity strikes, he seizes the next leg of the covert mission his brothers have been pursuing and sails to Freetown. His actions are decisive, and he completes the mission’s next stage—but responsibility, once exercised, has taken root, and he remains in the jungle to guard the captives whose rescue is the mission’s ultimate goal.

Katherine Fortescue has fled the life of poverty her wastrel father had bequeathed her and come to Freetown as a governess, only to be kidnapped and put to work overseeing a child workforce at a mine. She and the other captured adults understand that their lives are limited by the life of the mine. Guarded by well-armed and well-trained mercenaries, the captives have been searching for some means of escape, but in vain. Then Katherine meets a handsome man—a captain—in the jungle, and he and his crew bring the sweet promise of rescue.

The sadistic mercenary captain who runs the mine has other ideas, but Caleb’s true strength lies in extracting advantage from adversity, and through the clashes that follow, he matures into the leader of men he was always destined to be. The sort of man Katherine can trust—with her body, with her life. With her love.

The first voyage is one of exploration, the second one of discovery. The third journey brings maturity, while the fourth is a voyage of second chances. Continue the journey and follow the adventure, the mystery, and the romances to the dramatic end.

Review of The Daredevil Snared

Review (4 Stars):  This is the first book that I’ve read by Stephanie Laurens and I’m definitely hooked by this author.  This is the third book in the Adventurers Quartet series and each brother has their own covert mission that they must see to the very end.  People have gone missing in Free Town and nobody has been taking it seriously or even looking for them, except Captain Caleb Frobisher.  He takes his crew into the community and locates the diamond mine where people have been held hostage and meets the beautiful, Katherine Fortescue.  Together they learn more about the mines and how to help all the people that are held captive there.

This book was filled with romance and adventure and I’m looking forward to seeing how things wrap up in the last book of the series.  Caleb was dashing and the perfect kind of hero while Katherine was so brave and strong considering everything that she had gone through.  This book was enjoyable from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read what happens next for these characters.
