All About Passion – Cynsters 7 – Stephanie Laurens
Rating 4.5 / 5.0
Heat 8/10
Genre – Regency, minor mystery/suspense
Gyles Rawlings has been named an honorary Cynster by the Bar Cynster. He considers this a curse and plans to avoid the implied fate at all costs. He will not marry for love. He is going to arrange a “perfect” marriage to a quiet little cipher. But fate has other plans.
While in the process of arranging his marriage he meets “the Gypsy”. A beautiful, passionate woman. She stirs everything in him that he wants left dormant. So he explains to her that she is to leave the moment the wedding is over.
Imagine his surprise when it’s his “gypsy” who walks up the aisle. And she’s furious with him. But there is nothing either of them can do. The contracts are signed and they are binding. So they must go through with the wedding.
The h (Francesca) is half Italian. She’s intelligent and knows exactly what she wants. She’s stubborn enough not to give up on Gyles. But she has a temper and when she flies off the handle it’s quite something. But no matter what he does, she always comes around to consider what his actions might mean, in spite of what he claims.
Gyles is exactly like the men of the Bar Cynster. Even if he doesn’t want to be. His complete aversion to love is poorly explained/justified. This is probably my only complaint about the book. To be clear, all the Cynsters would rather be boiled in oil than admit their love out loud, but Gyles doesn’t want to feel it at all.
When strange and potentially lethal things start happening, Gyles acts to protect Francesca. But of course, he can’t be bothered to explain himself, so more sparks fly.
This is definitely one of the best stories in a truly great series.
