A Family of His Own

The Cynster Next Generation Series, Book 14

By: Stephanie Laurens

Narrated by: Matthew Brenher

#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns to the quintessential question of what family means to a Cynster in this tale of the last unmarried member of the Cynster Next Generation and the final mission that opens his eyes.

Toby Cynster is not amused when informed that his new mission is to be his last in the shadowy service of Drake, Marquess of Winchelsea. Courtesy of Toby being the last unmarried Cynster of his generation and the consequent martial obsession of his female relatives, he will be given no more excuses to avoid society and, instead, expected to devote himself to finding a suitable bride. But Toby sees no point in marrying—thanks to his siblings, he has plenty of nephews and nieces with whom to play favorite uncle, and he has no thoughts of establishing a family of his own.

But then the mission takes an unexpected turn, leaving Toby to escort the irritatingly fascinating Diana Locke plus the three young children of a dying Englishman from Vienna to England.

Diana is no more enthused about their journey than Toby but needs must, and forever practical, she bows to events and makes the best of things for her godchildren’s sakes. She is determined to see them to safety in England and does her best to ignore her nonsensical and annoying awareness of Toby.

But then their journey becomes a flight from deadly pursuit, and their most effective disguise is to pass themselves off as a family—the sort of family Toby had been certain he would never want. Through a succession of fraught adventures, Toby, Diana, and the children lean on each other and grow and mature while furthering their ultimate aim of reaching England safely, and along the way, Toby and Diana both learn what having a family actually means to them, individually and together, and each discovers the until-then-missing foundation stone of their future lives.

Great storyline

The last to get married but the first with starting out with a new wife and adopting 3 wonderful children.

He was the last to fall

I loved hearing about how the last Sinster in that generation succumbed to love & family!

intrigued, a little romance, and some action

like the way the action intertwined with the drama and romance. like that the Cynster line is mentioned at the end.

Great plotline with engaging characters.

This is one of my absolute favorites. Ms. Lauren's does a fine job of tying up all the storylines.

We Finally get Toby's story

I was so excited when "A Family of His Own' by Stephanie Lauren came. We are finally getting Toby Cynster story, and it was worth the wait. This was such a lovely story of Toby and Diana Lock coming together as they and the Fellow children as they travel across Europe dodging spies and danger. This is a great book that should not be missed by any fan of Stephanie Laurens.
