Summary: Love those Cynsters
Review: Another wonderful Cynster novel! Amanda's story is every bit fun and sensual as her male cousins, although Devil's Bride is my all-time favorite romance novel. I thoroughly enjoyed keeping up with the lives of the others Cynsters as they were introduced. I can hardly wait for Amelia's story. Write on Ms Laurens!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A bit different
Review: Amanda has decided she doesn't like the obvious choices in the London marriage mart, so she decides to find another way to find the man of her dreams. She starts visiting some "daring" locations in search of a husband, and then continues to visit them in pursuit of the man she's chosen.

This book starts off as original and entertaining. There is great character development, but the plot fizzles towards the end when everything is wrapped up very quickly. Overall, not a bad read, but don't let the build-up fool you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: On A Wild Night was a Wild thrill ride!!
Review: On A Wild Night is the newest installment in the Bar Cynster series, the story of Amanda Cynster. Amanda and her twin sister Amelia are fed up with the insipid males society has had to offer since their coming out. At the ripe old age of 23, they are ready to take the bull by the horns, and do whatever it takes to find men who fit their ideas of the perfect man---much like their older cousins, those notorious Bar Cynsters.

Amanda is the first to embark on her adventure, and she has just the idea of where to find a man who fits her ideal profile-in the shadows, the gaming hells and those balls and many places that are surely unsuited for an innocent such as herself. But she's determined, and so convinces a family friend to accompany her into the London nightlife, seeking to trap the man of her dreams.

Rescuing Amanda from a situation she finds herself in is something Martin, Earl of Dexter, cannot resist. He hasn't rescued a damsel in distress, or even been exposed to any damsels, since he himself was a youngster at the age of 19, and found himself the center of a scandal that forced his father to exile him. Having not returned to London until after his father's passing, he's determined to keep to himself, and not enter back into society, risking the cut direct.

Finding that Amanda has plans to engage in some of the wilder escapades that are known to the ton, and knowing of no way to save her from herself, he finds himself volunteering to escort her on her wild jaunts, never realizing that he himself is being set up like the fly by the spider. It's not long before he feels himself being tangled up in Amanda's web, but the question is, has she truly set out to trap him, or is he just falling for her? Finding the answer is no easy task, and Amanda truly leads Martin on a wild escapade through the London night life, all the way back to the ball rooms of the ton.

Miss Laurens has out done herself!! This tale is a wild romp from page one; with me anxious to turn to the next page to see what Amanda will think up next. What a fun and wild romp! And with a few appearances of the Bar Cynster, this book delivered everything this reviewer could want, and left me salivating for more. The thrill is that the other twin, Amelia, has a book coming out at the end of this month, On A Wicked Dawn. This reviewer will definitely be standing in line for more of Miss Laurens superior writing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very delicious read...
Review: I just started reading books by Stephanie Laurens a little over a year ago and this one had me hooked from the beginning. I love how Ms. Laurens portrayed Amanda as a "virginal", yet sensual and headstrong woman. She did not shy around the fact that she wanted Martin, and set out to "win" him over. I loved the couples first romantic tryst and Ms. Laurens descriptions were right on target. I would highly recommend this book to all romance fans that love to read good sensual and exciting romantic books.I am anxiously awaiting for Amelia's story next!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved It ! Couldn't put it down
Review: This book was well worth the wait. The characters were very well developed and the chemistry between them was great. There is also a mystery to be solved and although it was pretty obvious "who did it" I loved it just the same. I am really looking forward to Ameila's story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent continuation of the Bar Cynster series
Review: I'm a big fan of the Bar Cynster series and firmly believe that Stephanie Laurens is the current queen of historical romance. However, I admit that I was more than a little dubious that she would be able to successfully continue the series with the female Cynster twins, Amanda and Amelia. They appeared in virtually all the other Cynster books as flighty husband-hunting debutantes. "On a Wild Night" begins on a less than promising note as the two refine their plots for finding acceptable husbands. This is not a premise that is likely to endear itself to most 21st century women. Much to my surprise, Laurens manages not only to quickly transform Amanda into a likeable and sympathetic heroine, but also to create a romance that is more than worthy of the Cynster series. The hero, Martin, is no fool and quickly spots Amanda's matrimonial intentions. Even though the two are powerfully attracted to one another and their relationship rapidly becomes intimate, there are two hurdles standing in their way: a scandal from Martin's past and his reluctance to admit the depth of his feeling for Amanda. The last is straight out of every other Cynster novel - alpha male selects his mate but she refuses to accept him without a complete emotional surrender - but as always Laurens fills the romance with plenty of sensuality and the plot remains compelling. Even though there are obvious similarities between all the Cynster romances, each one is still a unique and complete story unto itself. Bring on Amelia's story!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A lot of wild nights
Review: I love a book full of passion and love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful! The way romance should be.
Review: Stephanie Laurens writes the standard for historical romance. Her heroes are wonderful, thrilling and not stupid. She has the subtleties just right -- with a glance, a character conveys volumes.

The story of Amanda and Martin was hard to put down. I have read all of her novels to date and the Cynster series is a joy. I can't wait to read Amelia's story and more to come!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yawn...
Review: This book, my friends, can be best described as "same old, same old." I think the Cynsters should be retired and SL should get on with something fresh. Amanda and Martin were both rather annoying. Their actions and behavior were tedious and juvenile. Rather like the head cheerleader scheming to catch the football hero. Amanda is in her twenties, but acts like she's fourteen. If you're looking for a good SL book, try "Devil's Bride."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: On a Wild Night
Review: Loved it - love how it carries on the Cynstar Dynasty - bringing former characters back to life and introducing new ones! Wonderful escapism!
