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.

English woodsmans cottage★★★★½ (This is a review of the audiobook.) When someone wanted to do a buddy read (which you know I cant resist!) of this one, I decided Id listen this time, even though Im not a big fan of Simon Prebbles. (I just couldnt get into an older man reading the love scenes to me. However, now that Im older, he isnt so bad. LOL!) Nevertheless, Mr. Prebble does an admirable job of this one. The old biddies of the ton are hilarious and the duke is sufficiently arrogant. IJuly 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 and
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
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
I was excited when I found this at the library's used book sale because it had been praised so highly by people whose opinion I respect. "What a steal!" I thought. After trying to read it, though, I felt the $0.50 sale price was a waste of quarters. The book got off to a good start, with a smart, independent heroine who had unconventional but well-planned ambitions and could keep her cool in a difficult situation. The book rapidly went downhill, though. The story is supposed to be built around a
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
I found various things about this book super irritating and not to my taste, but the series is about a huge tightly knit family and how each member ultimately finds love AND THAT IS MY KRYPTONITE.Soooo, I'll probably read the rest.I hope they don't have "mystery" plotlines though. Since the mystery taking up a good portion of the 400 page of this book was simplistic and obvious to the point of silliness.Cynsters: "Oh no, our youngest cousin has been mysteriously murdered!! Whoever could have
