“Great book, the story is really about passion and how it was manifested in many guises. Gyles (Chillingworth) isn't really a Cynster but he's an honorary member, I enjoyed reading about him through the previous Cynster novels and his character is really amusing. Upon reading this book I knew I would like it as I'm very intrigued with his character. This didn't disappoint, I'm very pleased with the story, as it went on it made me curious and anxious at the same time to read about Chillingworth's internal battle on falling in love. As for Francesca's character, I warmed up to her immediately, as far as the Cynster books I've read, she's my new favorite. She's different from the other heroines, she's more spirited, reckless, wild and passionate (I can't find a more pat term), and zealous. She's also very candid and transparent. The author really took time in describing how the Gyles and Francesca spent their time together and get to know each other better. She's a really strong woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it, however hurtful the process is. In doing what she did, the results are more rewarding. On another note, the mystery is very predictable. I knew from the start who's been causing some accidents but the writing a letter and meeting somewhere plot is really getting worn out, I think she used it like four times already and usually it's nearing the end of the novel we would read about it, then all loose ends would be tied up. Despite of that, I'll still pick up this book and recommend it.”

“This series is one of the best in the world. Start with the first one Devils Bride and go through them from start to finish. Stephanie Laurens is great. ”

“I liked this book a bit better than some of the other 6 I have read - just a bit more intrigue I guess. I am taking a bit of a break as I start the women of Cynster novels”

“I enjoyed this book a lot. One issue I did have was that Gyles was not clearly described. I had to fill in the blanks. Otherwise, it was a top-notch read. Two very stubborn characters with a lot of passion between them.”

Fate has made Gyles Rawlings a man determined to be in control of his destiny. He has decided to wed a well-bred lady who will dutifully bear him sons, yet turn a blind eye while he takes his pleasure elsewhere. By all good accounts, Francesca will fit his bill. As for the "elsewhere", he's recently encountered a beautiful, brazen siren who will make a fine mistress, one with a fiery nature to match his own.
But at the altar, Gyles discovers his bride is the bold enchantress who has inspired his deepest fantasies. Finding passion and love in the same woman has long been a secret fear. But as his world is rocked on its axis, Gyles becomes obsessed with possessing the one thing he thought he would never want: his wife's heart.”
“Book seven in the Cynster series.”
