Setting: Regency England Sensuality: 8 Governess Honoria Wetherby is determined not to marry; she plans to have adventures among the Egyptian pyramids in lieu of wedding a controlling husband. But even the best-laid plans can run afoul of luck and outrageous fortune, as is fatefully proven one stormy evening when Honoria happens upon a dying young man in the woods. After passing the night in a cottage alone with the corpse and his cousin, the rakish and very much alive Devil Cynster, it's decided--by the handsome rake--that Honoria has been compromised by the unchaperoned evening and the only remedy is to marry. Despite her flat refusal, Devil is determined to have the beautiful and feisty governess; his family is overjoyed that he's finally planning to marry. But Devil definitely has his work cut out for him as he attempts to convince Honoria to wed him and forego her plans for adventure. Luring Honoria to the altar is further complicated when she insists upon aiding him in the search for his cousin's killer. Which will Devil accomplish first: seducing Honoria or unveiling a murderer? Or will Honoria foil the first plan and solve the second before Devil can? Devil's Bride is the first of several novels by Laurens that feature the members of the noble Cynster family in Regency England. The larger-than-life hero is bold, brave, daring, and determined and meets his perfect match in the heroine, who is plucky, intelligent, practical, and wise. Lush sensuality, deft plotting, and charming secondary characters make this novel a stellar beginning for the Bar Cynster series. --Lois Faye Dyer

As a known devourer of historical romance, it's surprising I've delayed on reading Cynster Book One for so long since I've heard rave reviews for about ten years. I am adamant about reading series books in a row and I believe I read the back cover description several times and decided The Devil's Bride is not for me. I avoid governess-themed historical romances like the plague... it's just about my least favorite trope next to mistress stories. After a sad dry spell of disappointing romances I decided to give this book a whirl regardless of my distaste for the governess angle. To my delight, the book cover description was pretty inaccurate. Honoria, our heroine, is only a governess in history, and we are spared the twee moments that I dread as it never becomes a part of the actual story. WHEW! Yeah!So then I got into the swing of the actual story which... to my delight... I loved! Top notch writing with well-researched, non-anachronistic prose, phrases and traditions. A spunky (only slightly annoying heroine) in the form of Honoria and a brooding, possessive, tall-dark-and-handsome duke named Devil. Yes please... I'll even take seconds! My delight in this writing style has decided that I must read the rest of the series. But before we do that we must review The Devil's Bride, and all that she was:Five Star Review:I already expressed my delight in the accurate and beautiful writing, though it alone is worth a solid five stars, regardless of plot… but I digress. Moving onto the actual storyline and characters I would like to focus on the five star material without giving away spoilers.Devil, as our duke, is the perfect possessive, alpha male that arouses my reader’s mind. He is simply a delight – arrogant, gorgeous, haughty, proud and totally obsessed with the heroine. Some of those qualities can be a negative of course… but Devil is ALSO sweet, thoughtful, patient, romantic and a good listener. He has a temper but he communicates. Thank goodness this allows no “big misunderstanding†to pollute the plotline. I found Devil to be nearly perfect as a hero… as he is rational with his possessiveness and he is so very adoring of the heroine. There were parts in this story I nearly cheered at, as it’s been so long since I read a book in which the hero and heroine actually talk and learn about each other and, for goodness sakes, listen and trust without jumping to conclusions.There were at least three parts I read several times over, I enjoyed them so much. That’s rare… so automatically the author got added to my read list. I try not to spoil such pleasures, but I will mention the word waltz… while I swoon. I was also pretty darn charmed with the entire intro of this story… and I couldn’t hold back my laughter during plenty of scenes.Great side characters, a delicious brooding six pack of gorgeous men (looking forward to all of their stories – the glimpses I got in this one were just stunning) and delightful settings made this one quite captivating. The beginning of this novel, say the first hundred pages, was pretty spectacular. The last one hundred pages were too. Once our heroine decides she will return the love of the hero, things get really exciting and the story returns back to its origins… a light murder mystery type plotline which improves things.Two Star Review:Our heroine Honoria is definitely slightly annoying. She holds to her guns with the I-will-never-marry trope just about three beats too long. Just when it becomes utterly ridiculous, the author finally allows the heroine to “give in†to our adoring duke. Unfortunately, it’s rather sudden and a little silly. Continuing on with the heroine as a two star character, she is rather daft at times – too bullheaded and stubborn for my liking. I really can’t stand a heroine who gets herself into mortal danger to make a point that she’s intelligent… it’s of course the opposite of intelligent to get oneself into scrapes that could cost yourself your own life or the life of someone you love. Fortunately, this two star stuff is not nearly as bad as some books I’ve read in which this character type destroys the story and the romance. Honoria has a lot of good qualities and moments in which she gets to redeem herself and she won me over every time she made me angry. So I forgave her time and time again… much like Devil did. She also does have a couple great moments in which to shine.The middle hundred pages of this novel slow down a great deal and got a little sluggish to get through. I can’t really stomach a back and forth like Honoria and Devil began to endure. You will marry me! No, I won’t! But luckily that doesn’t last TOO long. A couple more pages of that, however, and this would have dipped into the wall banger category. Whew!Neutral:The light murder mystery is fairly lame. Mostly it’s just pretty darn obvious who the murderer is and WHY he is murdering. I didn’t mind this so much as it was told well and written well and the dialogue surrounding the murder mystery plot is actually believable. So it equals out to a neutral gray area… it’s not bad but not that great either. The story does indeed HAVE a plot besides the two star nonsense, so there you go.And in the end:Overall this is a solid four star, maybe 3.8 star. The writing is spectacular and accurate, two things I search for without much success when perusing historical romances. The author knows how to deliver a spectacular hero and she can cultivate excellent chemistry between the two main characters. Though the plotline in this one was loose, I could tell it was thoughtful and organized. I am hoping for the same quality of writing in future books…. Maybe a more fluid plot that carries more evenly. Most authors try out different types of heroines, so I’m hoping our next gal is a little less willful. Overall this was a solid read with a few parts (no spoilers, sorry) that were just exceptional and so worth every page. The good parts were very, very, very good! I’m going back for more… I just downloaded Vane and Patience’s book. On to number two!You will like this book if:You like possessive, alpha heroes. Light, vanilla suspense as a backdrop. Stubborn heroine resists marriage. Independent heroine with life plan changes course for love. Large loving family. Wounded heroine.
This is the first Stephanie Laurens book that I read. I got frustrated reading this book. She described everything in painstaking detail. I ended up skimming a lot of the book for this reason. The first person point of view changing from paragraph to paragraph was distracting.The heroine was super annoying with an inflated sense of self importance. She doesn’t want to marry Devil, but she believes that she’s entitled to help solve his murder? Eye roll....I might have been mire sympathetic to her if I knew why she won’t marry him earlier than was stated. And....she doesn’t want to marry him but then got mad at him when he didn’t pay enough attention to her? Another eye roll...I could go on and on with examples of how obnoxious and annoying she was through the novel.And the whole “I won’t marry you/You’re going to marry me†thing got really old. Almost the entire first half of the book is exclusively this interaction between Honoria and Devil. Nothing else happened except a small, little murder that wasn’t really focused on. Another eye roll....I didn’t finish reading the book. I just couldn’t do it.
This book is the reason I returned to the historical romance genre after a decades long hiatus. Beginning with Devil's Bride, the Cynster series sets the gold standard for utterly captivating regency romance. Devil's Bride is exceptional with a well developed plot in keeping with the time period, multidimensional characters that possess strength and emotion, action and adventure, a taste of mystery and suspense, a hot sizzling romance and a funny intimidating demon horse to boot. I loved this story and would rate it 10 stars if possible!
This is my favourite Cynster Novel. I love how Devil and the other Cynster males pop up in all the other stories. Devil's Bride is the first book in an amazing saga. Devil is the alpha, the leader of the Bar Cynster, a group of men, all related, who play hard. Their belief that no woman will ever bring them to their knees is blown out of the water, when one by one, they fall. The other five are stunned, when their leader, Devil, announces he intent to marry after unintentionally compromising a beautiful young woman. Devil's prospective Duchess, however, has no plans to marry, or be ruled by any man, especially a man known as Devil. A battle of the wills ensures. Danger, mayhem, and frustration for one particular male. How the mighty fall. It's a fun and exciting read.
