Desperate, Penelope turns to the one man she knows who might help her - Barnaby Adair. Yet Penelope is anything but a typical ton miss - forceful, willful and blunt to a fault, she has for years devoted her considerable energy and intelligence to directing an institution caring for the forgotten orphans of London's streets.īut now her charges are mysteriously disappearing. Penelope Ashford, Portia Cynster's younger sister, has grown up with every advantage - wealth, position, and beauty. But beyond that glittering circle lay another world…and in this book Laurens pulls back the curtain that has hidden it from us - until now. Now, I‘m ready for some Debut writers as well as for some old ones that are out there waiting on my TBR shelf….New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens knows the world of Regency London, especially the exclusive enclave of luxury and wealth in which the aristocracy lived and loved. After that one, I’ll take a little break from Cynsters and tackle Bastion series sometime next year. If the pattern holds, this one should be better that #9. I’m looking forward to #10 “On A Wicked Dawn”. Writing, as well as the Heroine are just getting a bit reminiscent of the other ones. So here I am on finishing #9 “On a Wild Night” (Amanda’s story). Enough said-NEXT! “All About Love” was OK, “All About Passion” much better so I’m seeing a pattern in which every second book is either better or just ok. Keeper for sure! A Rouges Proposal (step back) This book defiantly hooked me from the first page and I hardly noticed it was over. They were just right and actually made you want to keep on reading. I also thought that the love scenes in this book were one of her best written EVER! They were not too long or too short. Here is our sophisticated Hero, with all of his experience, finding himself completely blindsided with innocence. I found Flick refreshing and Harry such a great and true Hero. The age difference was handled so well and I applaud her for that. I’m floored by the way she’s written a story of actual courting of her heroine. Those two characters interact so well with each other, that they FEEL ‘real’. I feel that SL has taken her sweet time in developing the characters of Flick and Demon and their romance, and it shows through this book. Now came “A Rogue’s Proposal” and I just JUMPED with excitement! Now, this one was in my estimation the BEST of them all. Scandal’s story was a bit unique, and kept a good pace. “Scandal’s Bride” Scandals Bride (step back)Ĭame next and it sort of gave me hope and determination to continue with this series (I mean, now I just had to read them…I invested almost $70, right?). I skipped most of the book as it was just too predictable and sooooo slow. The third installment, “A Rake’s Vow” left me scratching my head. I’m here to tell you I liked the prequel much better. From there I went to the next one, “Devil’s Bride”. Well, that one certainly wet my appetite. I started reading with book #8 (or a Special Christmas Edition) “The Promise in a Kiss” as it tells the story of Devil’s parents Sebastian and Helena. As DB comes so highly recommended, I just naturally had to have it and so I stopped by my local Borders, and BINGO! They had it, and upon getting home I went to work in putting them all in order. I can’t believe I never read Stephanie Laurens! A friend recently recommended her so I went out one afternoon to my local used book store and got ALL of Cynsters (no Devil’s Bride), and ALL of Bastion Club.
