The first Cynster novel

The first of the "Cynster" novels starts off with Honoria Wetherby, whoâs independently wealthy but who has been pursuing a career as a âfinishing governessâ (preparing select young women of the ton for their presentation and Season) until she gets full control of her fortune at age 25, finding a badly wounded young man by the roadside on her way from church to the home of her latest employer. She does what she can for him, and then along comes Sylvester âDevilâ Cynster, Duke of St. Ives, who recognizes the victim as his cousin âTolly.â With Honoriaâs help he gets him to a woodsmanâs cottage nearby, but their efforts to help him are futile and he dies without saying anything pertinent. Sylvester is immediately struck by Honoriaâs competence and intelligence, not to mention her beauty, and determines that this is the woman he wants to marry. But she resists; sheâs resolved to live a single life and to emulate Lady Stanhope by traveling to exotic places, especially Africa. The story plays out following the two intertwined threads of trying to solve the mystery of Tollyâs murder and persuading Honoria to marry him. The mystery aspect isnât very mysterious to the readerâat least, it wasnât to meâbut how to settle the killerâs hash is more interesting. Pretty typical of the series otherwise (or maybe I should just say the series continues in the same vein?).

Simply wonderful.

I have read this book many times. First in paperback and then got it for my kindle. Stephanie Laurens does not disappoint. The whole premise of the story is awesome. Devil has met h s match in Honoria. They meet over Tolly's body. She found him (Tolly) after he was shot. She tries to stop the bleeding but cannot. Devil rides onto the scene and is horrified that someone has hurt a member of his family. Finding Honoria there, they takee Tolly to the Keenan's cottage. Where they try to make Tolly comfortable. Devil has seen death before and knows that Tolly will not make it. They spend the night in the cottage while a storm rages outside. Honoria's own demons are in the storm that makes her sleepwalk. Devil catches her before she can hurt herself. In the morning. they are seen by the Claypole's who Hornoria was staying with. Push comes to shove and Honoria is brought to the Place where she meets Devil's mother. She stays with the Dowager (even though Devil is not married, Yet.) The family gathers for Tolly's funeral. Honoria is seen to take charge of a few "emergencies". And while the story that a 'highwayman" was the one who shot Tolly, Honoria does not believe it for a second. She wants to help with finding the killer and of course, Devil does not want her to. He has stated that she would be his bride. She says no. Push comes to shove and of course, they do marry.
