Scandal's Bride (A Cynster Novel)

After going through the first two Cynsters books, I'd have to say that Scandal's Bride is, by far, the most enjoyable read out of three Cynsters I've read.

If you're familiar with Laurens' books, you will know that her stories are mostly set during the 1800's, featuring strikingly handsome, warrior-like men (not that I have any complain whatsoever) and the classic DID (damsel-in-distress). But make no mistake, the heroines are not the weak, air-in-the-head type.

Catriona, by far, is the most intriguing character I've come across from Laurens' books. She's a witch. I think this is the first time ever I read about a witch in Laurens' writings. But the fact that Catriona's character does not overpower that of Richard Cynster is just nice. In fact, they compliment each other perfectly.

Scandal's Bride is, in a way, different from other Stephanie Laurens' historical romance. And a good different at that.
