Rating:  Summary: Fantastic, grabs your attention & keeps it. Review: This book will make you laugh, cry and smile. The characters come to life and make you want more. I can hardly wait for the next chapter (Vane's story) to come out.
Rating:  Summary: I loved this book. It's a keeper. Review: This is one of the best romances I have ever read. I liked the characters alot and I can't wait to read the stories about the rest of the cousins.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME Review: I read alot of romance novels and this is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. I cannot wait for the other bar cynster books.
Rating:  Summary: TOO WORDY Review: WARNING! This book suffers from being overly descriptive. This author apparantly just bought a new thesaurus and thought she should use every word in it. It is about a good a book as you would expect from an author who names her hero something so incredibly stupid as DEVIL.
Rating:  Summary: Devil's Bride was Heaven sent! Review: I picked up Devil's Bride at the suggestion of author Jan Bieber (aka Janet Joyce) and am glad I did. Stephanie Lauren's found a new fan and I've found a new series to follow! If Devil and Honoria are any indication, I have many pleasurable hours ahead of me!
Rating:  Summary: VERY enjoyable reading. Review: I REALLY enjoyed reading this book. In addition, I thought that it left an opening on a series featuring the rest of the Bar Cynster cousins, each having their own story in books to come. And naturally we'll expect Honoria Prudence to have an active part in the matchmaking! Most likely very much to Devil's aggravation. But hey, that's what sequels are made of!
Rating:  Summary: Steamy romance with likable characters Review: Devil's Bride has lots of things to recommend it but it just misses my "loved it" vote because I found parts of it to be very slow moving. At certain points I couldn't turn the pages fast enough but then something would happen and I'd lose interest, discover my mind wandering, and find it all too easy to put the book down. It might be because I just wasn't interested in the mystery element of the plot and that I figured it out way too early (the villain was very obvious) but I'm not sure that was it. I just feel that the book (at almost 400 pages) was too long. I'm glad I finished it for several reasons. I appreciated the steady characterization of the hero and heroine. Both were headstrong and arrogant and basically remained that way throughout the story. The hero falls for the heroine immediately and that was another plus. Their sexual attraction was instantaneous and for those of you who like longer, well-written and sensual love scenes you most definitely won't be disappointed in these! They go on and on, page after breathtaking page. I admit sometimes I'll skim the second or third lovescene (gasp!) because usually by that time I'm bored of the same old, same old but I was riveted to each and every one of them in this book. The author sure knows how to set up and carry out a sensual scene.
Rating:  Summary: Stephanie Laurens is now one of my favorite Romance Authors! Review: Honoria is such a wonderfully strong heroine who, though she's 'taken over' by the really domineering Hero, 'gives in' with a wit and grace I found very appealling. There's also a wonderful cast of side characters that had me wondering about a sequel. My only problem with the story was the 'bad guy". Everyone in the story conveniently hates him already but is very slow to quess he's the villain.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Read for Romance Fans Review: I really enjoyed this book and am waiting impatiently for the remaining books in the series. The Cynster males are well developed characters and the first of the Cynster mates is a gem. She has spirit, is her own woman, and is not overly concerned about sociey. I can wait to see the other Cynster men meet their match.
Rating:  Summary: Very Good Historical Review: I really enjoyed this book. The plot was well conceived and the characters were interesting. There was a cast of family characters that added rather than take away from the story. I also liked the way that after marriage, problems didn't disappear, nor did the hero and heroine become different. They continued to be who they really are but began the necessary compromise of good relationships.
