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?Rating Regarding Books Devil's Bride (Cynster #1)

I am re-reading all my 5 star rated romance novels. There are 62 on my shelf (and counting). This is book 43. (Tropes: Spinster/Wallflower, Marriage of Convenience, Enemies to Lovers) This is how my 43rd re-read held up. Ugh, this did not hold up. She repeatedly says no to his kisses, he forces himself on her anyway by grabbing and kissing her until she succumbs to passion. She repeatedly tells him she wont marry him, and he repeatedly ignores her.Its meant to be cute?I wont argue that DevilSome thoughts on this novel...1) The mystery was very thinly veiled. I figured out who the murderer was with no issue.2) I have never heard of an orangery that contains a daybed and full length mirror. However, for the horny Cynster family, it seemed very appropriate! ;)3) I still can't get over the nicknames of all the Cynster cousins. Who would chose to call themself "LUCIFER"!?!??!?!4) I can see why the book Beyond Heaving Bosoms The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels called this series
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
Very different from what I'm used to. Reminds me a lot of books I read about 20 yrs ago. Devil was so serious yet at times I just laughed at how he tried to tame Honoria. Lots of suspense and the passion was beautiful. Very sexy historical romance.
I've read a few book by Stephanie Laurens now and while at first I enjoyed them, I now find myself pretty fed up. It's amazing that no matter how many books she writes, no matter how many different characters she dreams up, they all make the exact same decisions. It's uncanny. It would be as if we were reading about the same people over and over again except that in trying to come up with subtly different pasts, what actually happens is that in some books the decisions they make are more logical
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
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 enjoyed
