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.

July 13,2012 - just finished rereading this and I loved it as much as the first time! I LOVE DEVIL! In case you couldn't understand that cause I was yelling, let me say it in a calmer voice...I LOVE DEVIL! Sorry, I just can't help the way I feel and I need to express it appropriately.Devil Cynster is arrogant, overbearing, possessive, and HOT. He meets Honoria and immediately knows he'll marry her, even though he's claimed he wouldn't marry. Honoria is in her own right just as arrogant andI 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 Devil
5.0 "Why am I just discovering this Gem" StarsI have a new book boyfriend and his name is Devil Cynster."Im not a gentleman, Im a nobleman, a distinction I suspect you understand very well."DevilDevil has a reputation as a rake and seducer of women. He's a no nonsense, tyrant who's use to getting his way in all things! Devil is an unmovable force, feared and respected by the ton and he has just met the woman he wants to marry. Fate won't make it easy for him. "You like my kisses - and I like
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
What? This book is apparently a favorite of many romance readers, but I didn't get the appeal. Sentence structure was definitely more sophisticated than most, but character development was not believable (even by romance novel standards). Disappointingly, it is not titled Devil's Bride because it is about the bride of Satan, Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, lord of hell and all evil, but the bride of some jerk with "Devil" as an improbable nickname. The mystery was ridiculously obvious even as
For a casual read, with an interest in how a feminist woman could fight back, in a patriarchal world, I loved this. We catch onto the melodrama, the matchmaker themes and heavy breathing going on. But the heroine is brilliant; the mystery plot is detailed and tangled. It keeps you guessing. I love a book that tends toward disaster, but all is well in the end. This one is well worth reading.
I love the alpha/gamma hero whos all Mr Im in Charge with his swagger and hotness, his nothing-stands-in-my-wayness, basically his total babe-ness BUT he has to have some depth to him unlike the hero of this novel, Sylvester Devil Cynster. The guy is as flat as brown cardboard and never really develops into anything else. This story just didnt work for me because I didnt like the jerk alpha who needed a good shaking for a wakeup call.The story grabs your attention relatively well from the start
