Rating: Summary: ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Review: I loved this book! I picked it up at the library not really expecting to enjoy it too much (it wasn't, after all, about the Cynster men). Even after reading a few pages, I almost just put it down. I am so glad I kept reading. This is by far one of my favorites by Stephanie Laurens (The Promise in a Kiss is my all-time favorite).I enjoyed seeing the married life of Gyles & Francesca, not just the "courting period" like the other books. I loved that we got to see Gyles fall in love with Francesca & that he had an actual reason for not wanting to admit & succomb to that love. Francesca was wonderful herione, strong, passionate, loving, intelligent & Gyles was just as wonderful. I truly enjoyed reading this book & watching these two fall in love.
Rating: Summary: Stephanie Does It Again Review: What can I say except that Stephanie Laurens does it again. This is another great regency romance by this talented author with all of her trademark sensuatlity and wit. This is the story of Gyles Rawlings the Earl of Chillingworth. He thinks that he is so smart and knows exactly what he wants in a wife not that it is time to marry. What he finds out is that what he thinks he wants is wrong. Francesa is a bold and wonderful person and sparks feelings in Glyes that he can't forget. What he does not know is that Francesca is all that he wants and more. A chance meeting sets the stage for this wonderful story. This is a great story you won't want to miss it.
Rating: Summary: Definitely worth reading Review: This is a wonderful addition to the Cynster series. Chillingworth is mentioned in almost all the Cynster novels. It was wonderful to learn more about him and get to know what makes him tick. He is so like the "bar cynster." He is a strong, noble man who is ready and willing to jump to the aid of those in need. Just like the bar cynster. He was determined to not fall in love like the rest of his cynster peers, but someone so like them couldn't really expect to escape the fate the fell upon the rest? His story was fun to read with the same flare and excitement Stephanie instilled in each of her previous cyster novels. I just with that their was more of the "bar cynster" in this novel. I know he wasn't a part of their family, but being that he was a honorary cynster, I wish that she would have written a better connection in this novel. I read the series, not only for the new story, but because she does so well at keeping the reader updated on the other characters. This novel really didn't do that. It was very enjoyable, and well worth the purchase, though.
Rating: Summary: Great Read! Review: This book as many tantalizing scenes! If it's passion you want this book has it. I hadn't heard of Stephanie Laurens when I purchased All About Passion so I didn't know of The Bar Cynster Series. After reading All About Passion I went and bought the whole series. I throughly enjoy her writing and how she truly uses real emotions and feelings in her stories. I think this book and all of The Bar Cynster Series are truly about passion. Great job Stephanie!
Rating: Summary: Disapointed! Review: I read half the book and decided it really was not holding my interest, so, I quit reading it. This was my first and last experience with Ms. Laurens. I felt her main characters didn't grab the reader and cause you to care about them. They had no depth to them. There was too much detail involved in the conversations with servants, etc. that was boring. The intimacy was described in detail but their behavior during each act was repetitious. The acts went on for many pages but during those pages nothing new was said or done that couldn't have been covered in two paragraphs. I found that I wanted to start skipping sentences. I have never felt that way in any other book I have read. Basically the intimacy was not moving. In my opinion it needs to be moving in order to have the reader care about the characters working their lives with each other out, discovering their love, etc. Read books by Madeline Hunter if you want to know how scenes of intimacy should be written. I have read many good authors that write a mature love story. Ms. Laurens doesn't live up to them.
Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL Review: I very much enjoyed this book and Gyles and Francesca's story. It really tells you about the power of love and how it can be stronger than anything. I thought that the story was alittle short of a secondary story line,but the romantic scenes very hot and often. I was very glad to see Devil and the Bar Cynster family again, and I understand they will be back soon, but not soon enough for me. I really did enjoy this story immensely. So if you have not read any of the Bar Cynster family story's by Stephanie Lauren I highly recommend that you do. Keep up the good work Stephanie Lauren.
Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL!... Review: I loved the book right from the start I could not put it down, every chance that I had I read. My goodness the love scenes were incredible all the passion that Francesca and Chilinsworth had for each other was enough to make anybody hot... and I loved it every hot moment after the other. I loved the book so much I had suggested my bestfriend read it(and she hates reading but I got her to read it) well, she loved it she says that she could never put the book down and kept her wanting to know what was going to happen next at every moment and is reading like never before! She is now a romance novel fanatic and is always looking for a good book to read so SHE can suggest it to me.
Rating: Summary: Another Winner! Review: Gyles Rawlings must marry in order to gain an heir for his title. He sets out to find a paragon of a lady who understands that this is no love match--simply a business deal. He thinks he's found the perfect woman in Francesca Rawlings. But rather than marrying a quiet woman who will fade into the woodwork and not upset the order of his life, he gets a siren who sets his blood on fire. This isn't what he wanted, this sort of passion, and yet, it may just be what he's lucky enough to get. Francesca wants love and she thinks she can find it with Gyles, if she waits patiently. But patience isn't one of Francesca's virtues... Laurens crafts a splendid story about two people who end up getting just what they deserve...each other. Francesca and Gyles discover that what they share isn't just passion, it's love.
Rating: Summary: Just a great book Review: I just love this book.It was never boring.So if you are looking for a great book this is it.
Rating: Summary: Kingdon Of Dreams Review: A Kingdom of Dreams was the best book I've read in a long time.Judith McNaught is one of the best author's I've read. The love story between Jennifer Merick and Royce Westmoreland is so heart warming it made me laugh and cry. The ending was one of the best .I was very glad to see that her family got what they deserved.It is a real keeper so you can read it over and over again.
