Bold and clever, THE CAVANAUGHS are unlike any other family in early Victorian England. #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens continues to explore the enthralling world of these dynamic siblings in the eagerly anticipated second volume in her captivating series.
A Gentleman of Means
One of the most eligible bachelors in London, Lord Christopher “Kit” Cavanaugh has discovered his true path and it doesn’t include the expected society marriage. Kit is all business and has chosen the bustling port of Bristol to launch his passion—Cavanaugh Yachts.
A Woman of Character
Miss Sylvia Buckleberry’s passion is her school for impoverished children. When a new business venture forces the school out of its building, she must act quickly. But confronting Kit Cavanaugh is a daunting task made even more difficult by their first and only previous meeting, when, believing she’d never see him again, she’d treated him dismissively. Still, Sylvia is determined to be persuasive.
An Unstoppable Duo
But it quickly becomes clear there are others who want the school—and Cavanaugh Yachts—closed. Working side by side, Kit and Sylvia fight to secure her school and to expose the blackguard trying to sabotage his business. Yet an even more dastardly villain lurks, one who threatens the future both discover they now hold dear.

The Pursuits of Lord Kit Cavanaugh The Cavanaughs Book 2 edition by Stephanie Laurens Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
- This book starts shortly after the ending of the previous book, The Designs of Lord Randolph Cavanaugh Lord Kit Cavanaugh has moved to Bristol to start a new venture, Cavanaugh Yachts. He has rented a warehouse and plans to open shop immediately along with his friend and business partner Wayland. They want to take occupancy immediately, but learn a charity has been using it and they need a few days to vacate.
Sylvia Buckleberry learns from the officers of the Dock Company that they have rented the warehouse that she uses for a school and that she must vacate immediately. She knew that it was a possibly that they would lose the space, but with the decline in shipbuilding, she never really thought it would happen. She tries to find another space for the school, but as they haven't the money in the budget for rent, she is faced with the real possibility of having to close. She is upset and barges into Kit's office and rages at him. Kit is stunned and intrigued, the Sylvia he met at his brother Rand's wedding was an ice queen and nothing like this fiery woman. He waits until she is finished with her rant and offers to help find another place for the school - even offering to pay the rent. Sylvia is surprised, she has always harbored a secret crush for Kit, but his reputation was one of a rake and she refused to fall prey and kept her distance from him. But this Kit is nothing like the rumors she heard and she wonders if she misjudged him. They work together and find a place for the school and Kit goes about setting up his new business, but he is drawn to Sylvia and makes excuses to see her.
When the school is threatened, Kit immediately comes to her aid and when someone sabotages his workshop, he wonders if the events are related and vows to protect Sylvia. They again work together to find the villain or villains and a bond develops between them. Kit decides that Sylvia is the woman for him, but needs to take things slowly. Sylvia finds herself falling for Kit all over again, but doesn't know if he feels the same and is not sure if she can trust her instincts as they were so wrong before. But when Sylvia's life is in peril, nothing will stop Kit from saving the woman he loves and he will prove once and for all that she is meant for him.
The ending is fantastic and I liked that Kit was determined to win Sylvia honorably, but a bit more steam would not have been amiss. This was a good story, but it was wordy, dragged a bit and some of it was down-right dull and boring, add to that the misuse of his honorific (which happened in the last book as well) and this was a fair to middling story at best, good but just not great. This is the second book in the Cavanaugh series, but it could easily be read as standalone title. - This book was fantastic. The story moves along quickly with a hopeful tone. The storyline is both action and character oriented, but the characters are the strongest recommendation of this story. Kit is finally coming into his own, after the horrors of his mother's machinations. He has no plans of doing more than building superior yachts, until a fire-breathing lady takes him and his new business to task for setting her school out on the streets! There are lots of twists and turns and a good many surprises. There were a few mildly steamy scenes, but not until over halfway through the story. You want to at least read book one, about Lord Randolph, before this. But I really think you should also read The Taming of Ryder Cavanaugh before either of these. I can't wait to see the next story, which I think will be the sister Stacie. Enjoy!
- The only problem that I had was that the villain came out of left field and I had a problem relating to him. No matter, she s still one of my favorite authors.
- Not as good as previous books but can't put my finger on why I just didn't like the characters that well.
- After watching the way the connection starts at the end of Rand and Felicia’s book, I was looking forward to seeing where Kit’s story would take us. And I’m happy to report that I quite enjoyed it. Kit is very much like his brother in that he’s very aware of the ways his mother’s actions have scarred him. Yet Sylvia’s contrary nature intrigues him to the point he’s willing to overcome his past history. I was a little concerned by Sylvia when we first see her striding into the fray like an avenging harpy. I was worried that she was going to turn out to be one of those overbearing, managing heroines I thoroughly dislike. Thankfully, that fear was unfounded. The romance was a slow build as we followed our leading couple through their days. I appreciate the amount of research that has obviously gone into this book but, like its predecessor, it goes way too far into the minutiae of Kit and Sylvia’s passions. For myself, I didn’t need to know about the building of tool racks or schoolboys’ lessons or many of the other tidbits peppered throughout the story. The intrigues come from many varied sources and successfully kept me guessing all the way to the end. Partly, I suspect, because there’s no real clues provided that would have allowed me to predict most of them beforehand.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. - A Gentleman of Means....A Woman of Character ....An Unstoppable Duo....

It becomes clear to this intrepid pair that someone else wants to put an end to both the school and Cavanaugh Yachts.
This well written book is a page turner. Stephanie Laurens never fails to entertain and intrigue her readers.
This latest Cavanaugh novel releasing in late April/early May is not to be missed.
The characters are delightful for the most part and as usual for this author they pull you right in.
I gave this book 4.5 of 5.0 stars for storyline and characterization.
