Fans of Jo Beverley’s Malloren family and Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory’s, rejoice! No longer must we despair over that lack of books to match our favourites! Meet Stephanie Laurens, an Australian author whose Bar Cynster series, a collection of novels about a fabulous regency family, has given Beverley and Lindsey a run for their money! Kick off the series with Devil’s Bride, and meet the head of the Cynster family, Devil, the Duke of St Ives, and his not-so-willing bride…
When Devil St Ives is caught in a compromising position with his neighbour’s governess, Honoria Wetherby, he’s not noticeably distraught. In fact, he seems almost casual about the idea of marrying Honoria – of course he must. Not a problem. He has bigger concerns right now, such as the shocking murder of his younger cousin Tolly. But when Honoria shows a marked lack of interest in marrying him, indeed, seems to be trying to get out of the wedding, Devil decides that something must be done. Honoria will be his duchess…something she is only willing to consider if she can aid in the hunt for Tolly’s murderer. Rich with history, sensuality and romance, with just enough suspense to spice things up, Devil’s Bride is an outstanding welcome to the Cynster family – meet them all and be prepared for an addiction!
