DEMON'S SO INTERESTING
I HAVE READ MOST OF THE CYNSTER'S NOVEL...AND THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE!
YOU DON'T FIND MEN LIKE DEMON ANY MORE..SO STRONG AND SO PROTECTIVE OF FELICITY.
Spare me the idiot Flick
Even a bad book by Laurens is better than half the rest out there but come on. I really can't stand idiot heroines who rush into crises after crises in the name of being "independent." I don't think I've ever read a heroine who cared less for her reputation than Felicity. First she spends the night with Demon and then wanders out of the cabin to be compromised when she could have easily remained inside and avoided it. The next time she's holed up with Demon in a hotel room and can't bear not to "peek" out from where Demon had safely stashed her so she could see who was at the door. Like she couldn't have waited five minutes for Demon to tell her after said visitor had left. Both times she blusters away that she's not really compromised. Oh, yes, she really is. Fool. And both times were completely unnecessary. That she was so stupid made me despise her and rather ruined a good book for me. Even a country bred miss would have more care for her reputation and the rules her society lives by. Unless she's an idiot. Which apparently Felicity is. Quite unfortunate for Demon that he's stuck with her.
Number 4 in the Cynster Series
Stephanie Laurens is working through the Bar Cynster from the oldest on down in age among the cousins, creating a perfect series of leisure, entertainment reading. Regencies are basically romance, love, and sex, with rules. She goes one better, adhereing to the old adage, "Learn all the rules so you can break them properly" - lots of sensual, detailed sex not usually found in Regencies. Ms Laurens has created an entire family, a very tightly knit family of believable characters, with lots of affection, nuances, and emotional and financial intertwining. In a typical Regency, primogeniture holds with the oldest male inheriting all, but Ms Laurens has eased this so that family feeling has created a financial net for all the males and dowered all the females as befits a ducal family. The first in the series settles the duke, the second settles his bastard half-brother into his mother's Scottish homeland, the third settles a first cousin, and the fourth settles Demon, a younger first cousin who owns and operates the ducal family stud. Each couple is perfectly suited to one another, and Demon's lady is steeped in all things equine and rides as well as he. It's a perfect fiction world, and even better than Dickens, because not only are all the loose ends tied up, but the endings are always most satisfyingly happy.
