About this listen

 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.

Excellent story of Fate making sure the restless head of a family meets his Mate. The audio was told with all of the voices required for different characters.

The lane way!

Excellent read, intriguing back story, though whole chapters devoted to love making made it a little cringeworthy at times- we get it. Good narration. Looking forward to following the Cynster trail.

Great storyline

A fabulous tale of murder, seduction and deduction. Cynester men are domineering and certain of themselves and their place in society and Devil is their leader. Entertaining and well read.

Strong men meet a strong woman

Uninteresting and unconvincing romance. Weak characterization. Mystery too predictable. Ridiculously cliche scene with the villain. Historical settings (language, mannerisms) inaccurate.

Inauthentic. Cliche. Boring.
