When Devil, the most infamous member of the Cynster family, is caught in a compromising position with plucky governess Honoria Wetherby, he astonishes the entire town by offering his hand in marriage. No one dreamed this scandalous rake would ever take a bride. And as society mamas swooned at the loss of England′s most eligible bachelor, Devil′s infamous Cynster cousins began to place wagers on the wedding date.
But Honoria wasn′t about to bend society′s demands and marry a man "just" because they′d been found together virtually unchaperoned. No, she craved adventure, and while solving the murder of a young Cynster cousin fit the bill for a while, she decided that once the crime was solved she′d go off to see the world. But the scalding heat of her unsated desire for Devil soon had Honoria craving a very different sort of excitement. Could her passion for Devil cause her to embrace the enchanting peril of a lifelong adventure of the heart?

Enjoyable read!This was quite the enjoyable read. We get my favorite with a hero who decides from the start that the heroine will belong to him, and proceeds to pursue her until he gets her. We also get a heroine who made him work for it, while still being a very like-able character. Shes very stubborn and just when it started to get too much, she acknowledges her feelings for him.There is also an exciting storyline that involves a who done it mystery. It did seem obvious, but I still enjoyedReading Devil's Bride was a very confusing experience. I usually have good instincts when it comes to stories; I can normally sense, even early on, whether I'll end up liking or disliking it. But this book just totally floored me. I was so, so sure that I'll end up giving this a 4 or 5 star rating, but I was wrong. Issues with the book just kept on piling up the more I read it, and at the end, they were far too much to ignore. The said issues are as follows:First, the writing style was
I wish I could rate this higher. Unfortunately, my tolerance for characters who refuse to communicate, are constantly making (incorrect) assumptions, and being standoffish for no real reason...is abysmally low. I liked Devil. I liked that he was quiet and decisive and in charge, and that he knew almost from the moment he met Honoria that he was going to marry her. That was extremely refreshing. No shilly-shallying from this hero. Regrettably, since the hero is so amenable to the match, the
This was my first Stephanie Laurens book and it was a fabulous surprise. Very real, kind of graphic chemistry but believable connections between the main characters. If you want HR with heat, this is where to start.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first quarter of this book. I was thinking "yes! I'm gonna love this" but it, disappointingly, fell apart for me afterwards.In the beginning, we meet the sensible, governess heroine. She comes upon a mortally wounded young man on a dark woods road. Later, our hero arrives, and they work together to try to help the young man. After POV switches to our hero, we are immediately treated to his insight that he has just met his future wife. I LOVED THAT!!! No pussy-footing
Framing her jaw, Devil lifted her face, looked down on pale cheeks, at eyes awash with tears, then he bent his head and kissed her set lips. "You'll never lose me," he whispered. "I'll never leave you." One of my favorite historicals This is the introduction to the Cynster family (and what a family it is ). I was actually re-reading this one, so it was kind of funny to see all those men and women who'll get their own books :) Most of the time, I was like: Oh look, that's Vane, I love his
This is sort of how the plot of this book went:- *Random person dies*- "You are going to marry me."- "There is no way I am going to marry you, so get away from me!"- "I am going to MAKE you marry me." (Hotness inserted here)- "Er, wtf? Back off!"- "Ooh, I smell a challenge." >:) *begin seduction tactics* (Insert make-out scenes)- "Are you going to marry me?"- "Nuh-uh, I am going to go to Egypt!"- "What about now?" *making-out, etc.*- ...Oh wow, maybe I will just have sex with this guy and
