Bold, daring, larger-than-life heroes and feisty, intelligent heroines propel Stephanie Laurens' exciting historical romances. Devil's Bride is rich with engaging plot and sensuous character development.

Governess Honoria Wetherby values her independence. She would rather travel the world than marry and give some man control of her life. Then, one stormy evening, fate changes all her plans. She stumbles upon a mortally wounded young man in the woods. When the stranger dies, she is trapped in a cabin with his body and with his newly arrived cousin, Devil, whom she soon learns is aptly named. He insists that their unchaperoned night together has compromised her honor, and, therefore she must marry him. Tension levels run high as Honoria plots to thwart Devil's marriage plans and tries to help him find his cousin's killer...the same madman who is now plotting to murder Devil.

Narrator Simon Prebble tantalizes listeners as he breathes life into these intriguing characters.

What made the experience of listening to Devil's Bride the most enjoyable?

I chose this book because I was expecting a Georgette Heyer type listening. It was not!!

Full of erotic descriptions which gave some unexpected spice, but with a good storyline running throughout. I will listen to other books by Stephanie Laurens.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Devil's Bride?

I thought the whole book was full of memorable moments. It has been very well written.

What does Simon Prebble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Excellent narrative by Simon Prebble. Brought alive the passion between Devil Sinster and his lady. He read the book with enthusiasm and his voice suited the storyline with great aplomb. I would seek his narration again.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Good Mystery Plot, Erotic

Great instalment of the Cynster saga.
Loved the heroine
Guessed the baddie from the word go but this didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the book and for once the cat and mouse game typical in these regency romances was absent.
Still think the intimate scenes are too graphic in detail and narrator over dramatic but overall, great listen

Predictable but riveting

Nice little story for an easy read romantic fiction. Predictable but sufficiently interesting. Nice use of language, but oh so much sex! Titillating the first couple of time but then it repeats over and over... fabulous if that's what you want but I found it tedious and skipped through eventually.

So much repetitive sex!
